Libertarianism would be the complete lack of a trust system

DWM14 does have a bit of a point here but I would say more like "the complete lack of a DT system"..

No, he doesn't. He is operating off of the stereotype that libertarianism is like anarchy, it is nothing of the sort. Libertarians still support a system of rights, law, and justice, they just think it should be absolutely minimal as possible.

Except if you want to build a reputation for trade under this system, then you are directly penalized for not participating in it by having positive trust ratings left for you being less visible.

I'm afraid you will never get it. The trust system isn't about you, and your precious rating's visibility. And, I did in fact pay attention to my civics classes. Just because this democratic republic has rejected you as one of it's representatives doesn't make any less of one.

I am afraid you have fooled yourself in order to relieve the cognitive dissonance resulting from your hypocrisy. If this was a democratic republic I would have the right to due process and my accusers would have to substantiate their accusations rather than just make a bunch of them until they can find a story plausible enough to stick for the mob to grab a hold of and run with. You will never get it. The only reason you think everything is fine is because you haven't yet been the target of it. Of course there is also the little matter of the fact that I have 8 years of effort invested into my reputation here, and you just showed up, what a year ago? Easy to be casual with a tiny fraction of the time and effort at stake. When it is you I am sure all of a sudden it will be a travesty. Also the fact that I agitate you doesn't make my argument invalid.

P.S. You better find those principles soon before Nutilduhhh gives your poor goat a prolapse.
