...so this is a good opportunity to agree to disagree.

Though that was addressed to Lauda, it is disingenuous whereas you are arguing with Lauda over what you said here:

...I countered the rating nonetheless and will exclude nullius if that red trust remains.

“Agree to disagree” is exactly what I would tell you (and have, in essence told you) when you express to me your opinion about the proper standard for negative feedback.  But you are not “agreeing to disagree”.

I think there is a difference between a "valid" use, and use appropriate for DefaultTrust.

And how?  ~ exists precisely for the purpose excluding people who make invalid use of the trust system, i.e. persons with poor judgment; and inclusions exist precisely for the purpose of categorically endorsing someone else’s trust decisions as “valid”.

I'm pretty sure you can red-trust someone for disliking lemons and stretch the interpretation of "high risk" to mean that dislike of a fruit makes trading said fruits with the person "high-risk".

You are shifting the goalposts (and it is not the first time that I have seen you do that in an argument).

The question here is not what people can do.  Reductio ad absurdum, I can issue negative feedback to Lauda with PROOF that she is a WITCH (Reference — She turned me into a newt.).  “Feedback is unmoderated.”  But the predictable result is that any sane person would ~nullius.

Don’t state the obvious fact that people can do anything with trust feedback, when we are discussing your express support for TECSHARE’s demand of ~nullius on grounds that I am supporting good tags by Lauda and Vod.



To avoid waste of time, I will not reach other fallacies in your argument.

suchmoon, with candour and not hostility, I must observe that at this point, the only reason why I don’t immediately ~suchmoon is that I will not join you in grandstanding over a pet issue in some way that backfires against big-picture, important objectives.  You are sharp in investigations, and you issue (usually) good tags within your own narrow standards; your downfall would be celebrated by exactly the types of characters who are cheering you in this thread.  Thus, although I think that you are showing poor judgment in this thread, I prefer, if practicable, to take the high road and avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater by obsessing over one tree in the forest—even if I am admittedly enough peeved to be tossing out awful mixed metaphors.  (Sorry, folks.)  And I encourage others to think likewise.
