No way he would answer all this. He doesn't need to.
Of course he doesn't
need to, but usually when people give interviews like this (and there are plenty of them), the interviewee doesn't have a gun to his head. If Theymos did all of that ignoring as claimed by OP--and I've no reason to doubt him--he's either really busy or just doesn't want to take part in this. I know absolutely nothing about the person behind the Theymos username, but I'm assuming he's a pretty private person, as are a lot of folks on bitcointalk.
I'd be interested in his answers to these questions in particular:
• Several years have passed since the introduction of merits and trust flags. Are you happy with how these systems operate today?
• Is theymos a vengeful person? Do you hold grudges against people?
• What do you think of all the drama and the bickering on Bitcointalk?
• It is my personal opinion that Bitcointalk would be a better place if proven scammers would be banned. Tell me why I am wrong?
Especially the last one, because it's always baffled me that scammers aren't banned here. I've heard all the reasons from multiple members, and they all pretty much sound like excuses--especially since every other forum I've visited bans scammers on the spot, even if there's not rock-solid proof.
I'd also love to hear his opinion about how the merit system is working out. His view on the trust flags I couldn't care less about, because I think they're an unnecessarily complicated addition to a trust system that's already overly complicated.
