Vod or Nullius ... ratings against me

Literally nobody cares about their ratings man.. You can just lol @ them..

nullius just had to screw around and get himself removed from DT completely, even after I and others tried to advise him against it..
The others probably won't be removed over just this but everyone knows some/many of their ratings are trash, including these as further proof, and will just ignore it, if not bias them towards your favor after reading them..

You are missing the forest for the trees. One day that may very well happen, but by then my trust ratings will be filled with these kind of ratings because they all provide cover for each other, and uninitiated users will simply walk away from trades not willing to sort out this bullshit.

It is a well known psychology of mobs. Vod starts it off with his frivolous rating, then Lauda joins in, then marlboroza, then Nullius, then Vod again, all content in the knowledge it will be much harder for them to be held accountable in the noise. I realize this seems inconsequential and humorous to you, but you haven't spent over 8 years working to build a very trusted reputation around here. I have, and it has value, which is exactly why it is being used as leverage in an attempt to silence me.

If you have a reputation, they have something to exploit you with. If you have no reputation you are easily dismissed. This is the MO they rely on to perpetuate this abuse.
