Lauda had a bunch of bad ratings as well, was extremely vindictive and used (his/her/their) power to basically bully people into submission... its almost like they got off on it. I haven't witnessed Ratimov do that but perhaps I just haven't been in those threads.
Certainly not the first time he's flying off the handle, and he's never ever wrong. Not quite the qualities I'd expect from a DT member.
Also keep in mind that even when caught plagiarising he thought the best excuse is not admitting that was he was doing was unethical, but that Google Translate made him do it. IMO on the scale of trustworthiness that's right up there with another plagiarist who got off by claiming they bought the plagiarist account.
because of the spineless nature of DT1 there is basically no recourse.
Suggestion: ask theymos to undo your own DT1-exclusion and make your Trust list mean something for voting again 
But then I won't be able to bitch about spineless DT1...
