Maybe you can look on Amazon and see if you can buy a new pair of eyes.  There are millions of registered users and countless new threads being started by newbies on an hourly basis.  People from all over the world flock here to join bounties mainly, but also to learn about and discuss bitcoin.

As far as OgNasty goes, don't worry about him or his reputation.  He can handle himself, and despite any red trust he's gotten, he's still able to do business with no problems.  I think he's a total dick, but I wouldn't consider him untrustworthy and wouldn't tag him for his arrogance.  It's basically a DT spat and doesn't reflect on the forum as a whole. 

I think you're still a bit disgruntled because of the incandescent redness of your own trust page.  Looks like justice in action to me.
