Now the real test: will OG give me more negative feedback and go the way of mosprognoz? Or stick to the original lauda style?

How much do you know about OG and the history of these situations?
Are you really sure you know what you are doing here?

I would say the vast majority of the animosity towards OG stems back to Laudas extortion scandal where OG stood up against Lauda, and it seems a lot of Lauda's buddies at the time are still mad at OG over it, even some of those that don't much like or trust Lauda anymore...

I know enough from the past yes, that's why I trusted OG's judgment more of less since I had a trust list. What I'm seeing is the same pattern of behavior. Someone who got kicked from DT before, made a come back, then started promoting a trust cult when gaining sufficient inclusions, while refusing to acknowledge any concerns over it. Ring any bells? Although in fairness Lauda's cult started over a year ago, and was only recently bumped this year after sufficiently stabilizing trust. This to my knowledge, is OG's first attempt, but I realise someone could correct me here.

I had doubts that the same problem was occurring as with Lauda, as my assumption was only based on comparisons, statistics and a bit of deja vu, but then OG confirmed it for me with retaliatory negative feedback, same as Lauda's oopsy. Therefore, I'll happily make this comparison, regardless of the past history of his actions, as we are currently living in the present. If he wants to join the exclusive club of discredited DT members who negged me after I confront them on their bullshit, that's his choice, and as someone who missed having a discredited -1, I respect his foolish decision to do so.

Thanks but yes I know what I'm doing, I left constructively critical neutral feedback to warn others (especially newbies or lazy people) not to blindly follow an anti-vod cult, not cos I like the guy (I deeply distrust him ironically), but because the trust system shouldn't be exploited for this by well-trusted members who have the ability to do so - and I'm not the only person to see this. If it wasn't obvious from my previous posts, I was trying to help him save his own reputation here, as were many other people.

All power corrupts, power corrupts all. Fuck trust cults. The stats are going to look wicked on this one.
