Re: Clearing my trust list

After looking at how several cliques and trolls manipulate the system to suit their own agenda

<snip>
I propose these cliques and trolls are BitcoinGirl.Club, NeuroticFish, tranthidung, LoyceV, Poker Player, dragonvslinux, DireWolfM14, dkbit98, The Pharmacist.

I hope I'm not included in JollyGood's list of cliques and trolls, serving my own agenda by manipulating the system. For one thing, I don't have an agenda with respect to my trust list other than to do what I think is best for the forum. I've communicated with JollyGood since I excluded him, and if I recall correctly I explained to him why I did it and that there were no hard feelings, just that I thought there were too many questionable feedbacks he'd left for others.

And I certainly don't think I'm a troll, and hopefully JollyGood doesn't see me that way. I haven't done any trolling lately, and if I had a list of targets of trolling he wouldn't be on it.

There have always been groups of members who tend to see things (like JollyGood's feedback-giving accuracy) the same way and are pretty vocal about it. It was that way when Lauda and Vod were active, but it's not like there's any behind-the-scenes collusion AFAIK. I'm definitely not included if there is.

I think you're missing BitcoinGirl.Club's point; I interpret her post as speculation that JollyGood would accuse those listed as a clique, or trolls. I don't think anyone has accused JollyGood (or you, for that matter) of trolling.

That's how I read it as well. Generally the idea that anyone criticises JollyGood is a troll and part of a clique intended to troll him, hence they are ignored and distrusted. It's the most effective way to try and make yourself immune from any criticism, just claim that anyone constructively critical of you is being malicious with an ulterior motive, hence untrustworthy, which is admittedly very "politician like" as you put it.

He knows, like any power hungry politician, he needs the help of the powerful to gain more power. Anyone else who's critical of him gets ignored. Like me, I'm a nobody so he thinks that maybe just maybe if he ignores my criticism of his trust abuses (like he's done for the last year) that I'll just go away.
