"Send me all of your coins and I won't delete your harddrive"
"Remove that feedback or I'll remove this guy from my list"
"Do my homework or I'll tell mom what you did last night"
"Give me $50,000 in unmarked bills or I will kill this person"
All of the above quoted examples are forms of extortion. This needed clearing up for those that do not know what extortion is.
In laymans terms, it is when you try to force another person to do something and if they don't there will be 'consequences'. This is something they teach in school and is in fact illegal.
They teach that in school alright..
"Do this or your getting a detention"
"Do that or we are going to call your parents"
"Do these things or you we will fail you"
Should I sue?
"Send me all of your coins and I won't delete your harddrive"

"Do my homework or I'll tell mom what you did last night"

Additional examples of extortion:
"Give me $11.99 or I will not give you a
loaf of bread".
"Send me the winning bid amount, or I will not ship you the coin that you won in my auction"
"Tell me the truth about what happened, or I will not ever believe what you say in the future"
He gets it..
loss of trust is not a 'consequence' and this fits into a more of a cause and effect situation.
Yes it is.. IMO
"stop colluding with that scammer or I will not trust you anymore"... Fair ball..
..
I think the big crux here is that the rules for using the trust system and how you interpret the trust system are wide open, there are no real rules and many people interpret the trust system differently.. There is no supreme court of trust system interpreters..
That is all fine and good until one person with their personal interpretation tries to argue that particular interpretation to another person who happens to interpret it differently..
The trust system is opinion, not fact, and you can hardy argue an opinion..
What information it gives and how it's used can be many different things depending on who you ask..
First you have to have an opinion on how to use the trust system and then an opinion to post to the trust system.
You may not trust johnny anymore because he is late on a lone and post it to the trust system, but that does not mean that Johnnie's brother Joe does not trust johnny anymore..
Furthermore Joe may not think it is correct to leave Johnny negative trust just for being late on a loan, but you might.. Opinions..
Disclaimer: All of this is my
opinion, not fact that can be argued.. Just my personal interpretation..
