Re: [NSFW] - phisical violence in DT - "not safe for work" content
I already explained why he is included, as you are well aware.
I have the user in question on my trust list for one single reason.
Punishing people for their speech, no matter how abhorrent you find it, is ALWAYS the tool of totalitarians. I am a free speech absolutist. This user was excluded not for making a threat, not for even advocating violence, but for having an objectionable opinion in public. I don't have to agree with his ideas to object to him being punished for having a mind of his own. This is a problem that is not just on this forum but growing across the internet. It will result in everyone losing their freedoms, and I object to it on principle.

You didn't actually say why you included him. So please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you're saying you included him because you thought he was being unfairly "excluded." Pray tell, what exactly was he being excluded from? He only had 1 Trusted by and 1 Distrusted by before you trusted him and Hhampuz distrusted him. He wasn't on DT before Hhampuz distrusted him.
So he wasn't being "excluded" from anything or by anyone except Hhampuz (and the pre-existing non-DT Timelord2067), and there's no way you could have known that Hhampuz had excluded him as you both updated your trusts lists with him in the same week.
Interestingly, it did happen to be the same week he left you this nice positive feedback:
Regardless of any of the above, perceptions that someone has been mistreated should not be the sole criteria for adding someone to a trust list.
