Absolute bullshit. The amount of merit that each of us deserves is within thousands, and you complain about double digit numbers. If anyone deserves negative trust, it is you for your defamatory nonsense.
And you two couldn't at least pick a "deserving" posts to up-merit? If you want to appreciate someone for his general contribution to the community, I'm sure you can find at least one posts that proves that positive contribution.
Now every Russian tagged for merit-abuse can use you as an example and defend themselves with: "I know his post was shitty, but I rewarded him for his overall contribution".
And ere you seriously threatening a guy with red-trust for "defamation" when all he did was to apply the same rules to you/aTriz as are being applied to other members? Fuck integrity I guess.
