I did not put any conditions on my apology to Lauda. Nor did I make demands after the fact. It was an acknowledgement that I was in the wrong.
I believe the purpose of this thread is to further the descalation of the trust system, which is something theymos has been pushing for a long time now. (In addition to the stated purpose of the thread).
If you currently have red trust, I would suggest you make any victims whole. If you dont have any victims, you should make an effort to descalate the situation yourself. There is no reason to waste time on unnecessary drama, even if you believe to be in the right. If you have what you believe to be unfair red trust, I dont think it would be abusive to ask for a temporary counter while you try to get your red trust removed.
I cant speak for Lauda, but I dont believe he has any corrupt intentions in creating this thread.
Are you now claiming that Laura is trustworthy and their account should be red trust free?
What lauda did was wrong, and was a display of poor judgement. With that being said, what happened, happened a long time ago, I have good reason to believe lauda is remorseful for what he did, and to my knowledge he has not made a similar mistake since. I have left the extortion thread unlocked, and it will remain that way provided no trolls bump it to stir up drama.
I have also witnessed lauda making an attempt to gain consensus on potentially controversial red trust before handing it out.
I would say there is enough observable evidence that it is appropriate for me to remove my tag on lauda. I don't think many people are unaware of lauda's past, and with or without red trust, anyone is free to decide if they want to trust him or not.
This clearly appears to be an arrangement. Anything you claim to have said or did not say to Laura is not verifiable. It is foolish to believe that staying you did not make a deal proves that it didn't happen ?
The burden of proof is on the accuser. Feel free to present evidence my statement is incorrect.
QS - Can you please ask Ognasty to remove his frivolous negs on me? I removed my negs on him & sent him a peace PM stating I did not want to fight anymore and we should just try and be better to everyone.....
I sent him a PM with a recommendation that he remove his negative rating.
