Oof, that's definitely a topic that'll spark some strong emotional responses to people who disagree with your point of view.

But here's the simple truth: DT members should not let disagreements affect them when it comes to using the trust system properly--and here I'm making the assumption that the community has reached a consensus on what "proper" use of it is.  From what I've read it does seem like 1miau's actions were spurred by emotion, but even if I'm correct I wouldn't say those actions rise to the level of wiping him from the DT list.  I don't know where the cutoff point is for iffy behavior and calls for DT exclusion, but in my opinion it didn't reach it in this case.

There's got to be some leeway given to DT members, because they're all human and all make mistakes from time to time.  To keep someone from being on it, I'd say there needs to be an established pattern of misuse of the trust system or some other major reason (like a proven scam/attempted scam/etc.).
