If those aren't the ramblings of a deranged lunatic I don't know what are. But that's not the point of this post; I might be a little paranoid and it may be too soon to tell whether my suspicions are accurate for not, but I wouldn't be surprised if death_wish is trying to get himself nominated to DT. Probably to exact revenge against those who tagged the nullius account and exposed him for the cunt that he is.

The death_wish account only came to my attention when he attacked one user for claiming he had nothing to hide, and left him a rather nasty review on his trust page. I guess that offended death_wish. He seems to be taking his time, but a couple of days ago he left this post in the address staking thread:

This shows how a signed message can expose lies.

Ah, the glories of digital signatures!

Tagged. According to DarkStar_’s 2022-02-02 negative trust feedback, “Woke up after 2 years of inactivity, staked an address and immediately requested a 0.064 BTC (~$2500 USD) loan.” icopress concurred.

Thanks to SellFullMember18 for stepping forward. Sorry, you will understand if I do not send merit to your account (LOL). I didn’t look into this—but for whatever reason, it was good of you to come clean and stop that account from its swindles.

Edits: Added note, fixed links botched by forum’s wonky BBcode renderer.

Anyway, like I said I might be being paranoid, but I wouldn't put it past him to be so vindictive. It's worth noting that if nullius was still here today he'd be -7 on the DT scale this month. I'm not in the habit of excluding newbies in my trust settings because that rarely has any affect. Usually I wait until there's a good reason, but death_wish just earned himself a pre-emptive exclusion from me.
