I'm scratching my head wondering if that is indeed improper, because if someone created a thread about me with an accusation that was false, would I be wrong for not trusting that member's judgement? Yep, it looks retaliatory on Cantsay's part but looking at it from his perspective, I'm just questioning what I might do or at least think of doing.
Anyone who considers themselves innocent would try to defend themselves in every way, and ignoring everything presented only confirms that it is true.
But that's only if the accusation was false. I got a request to do a post history review from Cantsay, and I'm glad I started checking members' trust pages before doing them, because after checking his and then following Lucius's link to this thread I think I'm going to have to skip him for the reasons you guys have pointed out here. I have enough evidence that something fishy is afoot to justify that decision.
I'm glad that someone still shows the sense to separate the good from the bad, but I'm also disappointed when I see that the majority still tolerates such behavior as if it's something completely normal and not more than obvious abuse of merits.
