You're free to think the above but I think that any reasonable person would conclude by looking at TECSHARE's trading history that trading with him is not high-risk. Debating politics with him might carry a high risk of being trolled but that doesn't call for a red rating.
Bingo. Frankly the only thing I tend to not trust about TECSHARE are some of his trust ratings, which is why I have him ~'ed in my trust list. Other than that I don't consider him untrustworthy in the least--in fact, he has a very long history of completing trades to the satisfaction of his counterparties and thus it comes down to a case of leaving red trust for someone whose opinions/interpretation of facts/whatever doesn't jibe with your own. I don't think the trust system ought to be used for that, and it seems like we've had this debate before.
As an aside, reading through this thread it struck me that we haven't heard from CH/TOAA ever since he promised to leave the forum--or I may have missed their posts, but I don't think I did. Hooray for that but boo for all of this other drama. Where are Rodney King's words when you need them?
