Awhile back, when I was very active, I would have given you a negative for trust mining, AKA buying trust. Most users, (if not all), that buy trust are planning to scam. Maybe I need to be more active.
I had the same reaction as you to that post, but I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt (for now.) He's been relatively inactive for longer than I've been around, so maybe he's just not hip the contemporary cultural norms of the forum. Either way, I'm still not convinced the account wasn't hacked or sold, so I feel a neutral tag is warranted.
Same here.
