These Meta/Reputation threads often give the surface-impression that they are over your head, or that more is going on, when in reality they are simple situations that are being spun into a web so complicated that nobody can traverse it.
This is the Bitcointalk goonsquad's MO to a T. This is part of why they hate me so much, I am a "broken record" and keep hammering the points no matter how big the clown shoes they wear are as they ride their tiny unicycles around honking horns to distract from it. This is also the same reason they go after people like Bill Gator. The ones with respect and trust they
ESPECIALLY have to crush, because some one might believe them.
