I treat people with as much respect and politeness as they give me,
I stated my opinion regarding the subject in hand, you quoted my post and started a discussion, I politely engaged in the discussion, and then the first thing you wrote was :
None of your rambling matters
I treated you with respect, and based on your alleged way of treating people you should have been respectful to me, I think the only time you to talk nicely to someone is if they agree to your thoughts, if they disagree, it gives you the right to show your disrespectful attitude.
as you join this little mob to cast aspersions to raise your own profile.
What mob that is ? you mean the gang? hate to tell you that i have not been accepted yet, going to apply again next week , I have better chances now after I "cast aspersions" , I might need to cycle a few more merit and then I am good to go.

I have been raising these issues for years because unlike you I was around long enough to have helped build this community
Rambling, Nagging and whining do not help build any community, speaking of how you "helped build the community" , 90% of your posts are either in Politics & Society (useless for the forum ) and Market place ( You selling your stuff and that does not do anything to the community, in fact the community is doing you a great favor by providing you a great platform to trade) and the rest of your posts are either in Meta or Reputation (Obviously crying and whining about trust system/merit/mods ,,etc)
I hate to break it to you, but you are really just an average forum user, that is not bad per se, you just need to reconcile with yourself and move on.
Adios,
Nah, you have kind of been a twat from our first interaction including this one. I don't need your approval, and you haven't been around long enough to have any clue about what I have contributed. Any chance you are going to get back on topic and present evidence to support this flag?
I treated you with respect
That was a mistake, and in the jungle it only takes one. Techy is still using posts I made six years ago against me. :/
Adios
A successful pattern we should all follow!

Perhaps because you were never once held accountable for your abuse and you continue to deny it ever happened.
Now that you are done with your own pissing and moaning, do you care to present any evidence to support this flag or do you consider your suspicions alone sufficient regardless of the stated flag requirements?
A "red flag" in this context is a warning sign (I doubt theymos meant a Chinese national flag). You might think that asking for a 5 BTC loan and lying about risks is not a warning sign but apparently for other users it is.
It's quite amusing actually how you moan about mobs and bullies, but you're the one expecting others to follow your only true religion while your opponents seem to be aware of the possibility of existence of different opinions. I'm starting to think that you may not be a "knowledgeable & reasonable forum user".
The words he used were "concrete red flags" ie something solid and observable beyond mere suspicion. You are free to have your own opinions,you are not free to have your own facts and rules. No matter how abhorrent you think I am, I am still not part of a collectivist hive mind that punishes anyone of a different mind. I am just one individual that upholds principles no matter who they apply to. Its easy to feel right with a dozen of your friends ready to dogpile on anyone who challenges you. This is all that is wrong with the current default trust as it stands. Feel free to find some more friends to reassure you of your correctitude in your arbitrary witch hunts.
