Last of the V8s is an official owner of an extra large tin of ball polish, he gets a pass.
I'm still unsure what exactly he's being accused of. Wiping his Trust list, using only DefaultTrust, and then making a new Trust list doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me.
Weird... I seem to see people get accused of all kinds of manipulation for doing nothing more than using the trust system pretty regularly. I guess all that matters is how shiny the user leaves the nuts after they are done.
