Thank you for sharing your story and standing up for what is right. Years ago I was attacked in similar fashion as stated as well. I also buckled to their demands. This is what they do, and if trusted members such as ourselves can be bullied like this, just imagine how many less established members have fallen victim to these attacks over the years so that these users can over-inflate their worth here. You should add everyone you see fit to the trust network and feel safe in doing so without some public attack campaign making all sorts of false allegations based on incorrect assumptions.

Others should take notice that this is what suchmoon and friends do. Most won’t speak up and philipma1957 is being more courageous than many realize by publicly outing this abusive and inappropriate harassment to attack anyone standing in the way of their complete control of the trust network. I’m sure there are many others who would also come forward, but they walked away from bitcointalk instead of fighting against these attacks.
