Whoa, you were fast on detecting that. Is there any official reason why? I do agree with your previous statement in that making the process more democratic a step forward.
Lauda's inclusion and exclusion from DT1 has been a see-saw for quite some time now, so I'm not shocked that he/she's not on it anymore--but that could change.
I still have not figured out why TECSHARE has me included. I would not have expected that. Ever.
There are also many examples of people leaving many controversial ratings over time who are already on DT who see no real pushback against their ratings. There are also examples of people facing retribution in the form of frivolous negative ratings (bill gator), and trust exclusions (bill gator and teeGUMES) for making statements that goes against the "crowd".
I agree with this, and I'd excluded teeGUMES for about 30 minutes before I realized I was making an emotional decision, after which I un-excluded him. And as far as bill gator goes, I stood up for him and will still do so. He's a good guy and really didn't deserve the shitty treatment he got.
