None of the people objecting here want to have an honest debate about the topic, that is the problem. This is just more control freak behavior in an attempt to dictate my behavior to me as they habitually do worse things on a daily basis, or defend others who do. I could cater to every one of their demands and they would just invent fake issues.

So it's all about you? Do you honestly believe they would be more receptive to the idea if another user had been the one to propose it? The way I see it, unless it's coming directly from theymos, few users are likely to alter their usage of tagging based on something a forum user is advocating. Particularly when it seems to be an act of self-interest that would directly benefit the user proposing it. You said it yourself:

they have already done it before, and they will continue doing it until their ability to abuse these ambiguous standards is removed.

That's the angle here. You want to influence their behaviour in how they act towards you. I think people see it for what it is, which is why they're giving you a hard time about it. Why would you expect an honest debate when you can't be honest about your goal?

I see. I propose a set of objective standards. Several users roll out various accusations, and I defend myself against them, and I am "making it about me". Almost none of people arguing with me want to have a legitimate discussion, so it doesn't matter what I say because they won't be convinced anyway.

This is more about everyone else observing than the ones directly attacking. I am absolutely being honest. Are you suggesting now because I would benefit from not having the trust system abused against me, that I am being dishonest? You seem to be straying from any logical argument now and just projecting at this point.
