I think theymos should go back to cultivating a good (default) trust list.
I dont think the current experiment is a success.
~I'm not going to do anything hasty or out of emotion with respect to my trust list until I can figure out what the hell is going on.

I really don't like the state bitcointalk is in right now.
What a surprise these people who are talking the most about forgiveness trying to end that topic and gaslightning are the ones who kicked other DT members out.
Hhampuz had me included as of this morning, now suddenly I am excluded in spite of the fact I never said a word about Hhampuz during this whole blowout, which leads me to believe he is doing so because he has pressure being put on him from the "club of special people" he is so desperately trying to be a part of. I would have loved to hear his objections, but when I went to PM him about it, I found he had blocked me too like a coward in spite of our previous open line of amicable communication. I guess I will just have to take my discussion of it to the public then since he is to afraid to have a private conversation with people he found trustworthy as of a day ago.
Another fact I want to add is that these new 3-4 or a bit more persons are even damaging users who have been here for much longer than them and have a history of trading goods worth thousand of dollars and yet they don't decide anything but these new users do, how fucked up is that ?
The experiment is indeed a failure and intervention will only increase in the following months.
If theymos has to intervene for every little disagreement, the experiment is a failure.
Theymos should go back and pick his real friends as DT, people he interacts with regularly. It will reset the forum norms in line with their collective values and behavior.
