I have been steering clear from everything DT, I am glad I asked Theymos to blacklist me from DT1 so that I don't have to keep track of all the people I include in my trust list, you just never know when one of them will unleash the beast inside of them.

I did not dig deep into this topic, but looking at LoyceV's comment above made me curious to see Ratimov recent trust changes, he started to adjust his trust list in a tit-for-tat fashion which is a terrible way of using the trust system, the trust system was designed in a way that the collective reflection of all users will consolidate in a single (wide) point of view, using it to strengthen your position or to weaken someone else's position is pretty catastrophic.
Palagrimis aside since that is a different topic and should be handled by the mods, if Ratimov did not start this relation trust list altering, and instead, he deleted/modified the unjust feedback he left on all those profiles -- his chance of staying in DT would have been a lot higher, but as it stands right now, the way I see it is that Ratimov doesn't use his trust list to vote for those whom he thinks their feedback should be visible but rather a tool to maintain his "power".
I excluded him from my trust list, I am not DT1 anymore but I hope my opinion on this matter will help others who trust my judgment in making their own decision to exclude him.
With that said, I hope that the other DT members don't see this as a chance to "end Ratimov forum career", I also hope he doesn't take this too personally, I don't think you are a bad person, in fact, I think your contribution to the forum is a net positive, I just don't think you are fit for DT.
