Honestly, neither of the negative feedbacks really means much since you aren't on DefaultTrust and you have no particular reference to what happened. The only reference is you defending a known scammer named 'Bono'?

Instead of escalating the situation and trying to get people to leave him undeserved red, you could easily resolve the situation with him. Mutually deleting the negative trust would have squashed it all but you wanna push it cause of ego?

1) I once traded with someone named 'Bono' and he didn't scam me. So I left positive feedback. When he was being accused of scamming, though, I asked for concrete proof because I had dealt with him personally and he wasn't a total asshat at the time. Once it became apparent he was scamming others, I left negative feedback.

2) I am not pushing anything due to ego. He abused the trust system by posting lies about me. Mutually deleting actual negative reviews off of his profile would just be rewarding bad behavior.

You've hit on a key weakness of the trust system. God help users if someone on the default trust list decides to start extorting users. Maybe those accounts are what hackers will start targeting next.

I'm increasingly convinced that the trust system does nothing that the reputation threads don't, your story is a great example of why.

Still, it was nice for them to try and make things better on the forum.

I just showed the trust system to a few users LOL.

The trust system only works if and when it has proof of you scamming stealing etc. Other than that, Noobs that rely and "trust" on the trust system just for the fact some idiot like Luke-Jr put on my trust system but absolutely no scamming or stealing is involved makes me laugh......

Don't worry about it, op. smart ppl will read dumb trusts/untrusted feedback and judge themselves. More than likely if they are smart, their judgement will go in the right direction.

Yeah, that's the long and the short of it Tongue

I'll just keep this thread handy in case I'm ever questioned.

Zank you Bitcointalk!
