I excluded you because you excluded me for defending myself against false accusations. Much like with Direwolfm14, it demonstrates to me you are more worried about silencing people with legitimate grievances to avoid conflict than what is right.
If you are going to continue to make accusations against me, please provide substantive evidence.
I have never shied away from explaining my inclusions or exclusions, and every time it's brought up I've explained yours. There was a time (about a year ago) when I had you included in my trusted list. Then something happened that caused me to really scrutinize my trust list a bit more thoroughly. Someone popped up on DT2 that really surprised me,
at first I thought it was a bug, and I even started a thread about it.
But then I found the connection and made an
adjustment to my trust list which I felt was necessary.
ETA:
I found the connection, I guess I didn't realize the depth of trusted users.
It wasn't personal, it had nothing do with whether I trusted you or not. It was solely due to your inclusions, which lead me to conclude your judgement for inclusions is in conflict with mine. And again, that's the only reason I excluded you when you finally made it to DT1. I didn't want your inclusions to influence the reviews I see. I've explained myself many times, and provided this evidence before, which you continue to ignore when spinning your narrative.
The real reason you excluded me was because I excluded you. In fact, you excluded me from yours mere hours after I adjusted mine. It was retaliation, pure and simple. Any other excuse you suggest is a demonstrable lie.
The way I used my trust list is exactly how it should be used, the way you suggest it should be used in your OP. The trouble is you're not following your own standards. And furthermore, you attack belittle, and flat out insult anyone who does follow your standards, but doesn't agree with your inclusions.
The trust system is subjective, it relies on people using their own judgement, and picking people who's judgement they trust. It's not right or wrong, it's
their judgement. I've never asked you (or anyone else) to revise your trust list, because even if I disagree with some of your inclusions or exclusions, I don't believe it's any of my business.
So, again, please provide substantive evidence if you are going to claim you know why I excluded you and especially when it conflicts with reality. Or better yet, stop lying about it. It only forces me to expose your own narcissism and hypocrisy.
