Supporting or opposing a flag from a non-DT account does not carry much weight. So we all should be fine with it.

Note the word attempted in the subject. I know full well that it carries no weight, but its obscenely abusive. I am not fine with it. It is a Sibyl attack, and it is spam of the trust system. The theoretical futility of the act does not alter this.

Moreover, it did apparently scare the newbie who apparently does not know hes in no danger. Please see above. If you dig way back on my trust page, you will see negative sent feedback explaining that I had previously intended to send it, but I was afraid to when I was a newbiefor exactly this reason. Against a newbie, false flags or tags are an intimidation tactic (though the retaliatory flags against PrimeNumber7 and now Lauda (!) are just plain stupid).

I think it really boils down to the question of whether the forums administration wants to let such useless Sibyls lie dormant indefinitely, or clean them up as the trash they are. As a practical matter, I dont have a strong opinion on which way they should handle this; but the question is worth broaching.

I will be opposing this flag too.

Good idea: Youre not fine with it.
