Helena, The first thing you need to accept is that you don't take things like this too personally.
Although the trust lists are public and everyone can see them, it is still some kind of personal opinion of each member. For some reason, rby felt that your opinion did not match his understanding, so he decided to put you on his distrust list. What is a solid reason for you, does not have to be the same for me or rby, or any member here.
I didn't taking any personal, no hard feelings, I always try to become objective. Example
in this case where I leave a neutral feedback because there's no solid evidence even though there are DT members were leave negative feedback.
"Personal opinion of each other", I don't think it's correct when you distrust someone because of your disagreement, put on ignore list could be an option.
I just presented how
JollyGood, with his trust list, explains to all the dissenters why he gave them a tilde.
OP, no one owes you anything. A person can put a tilde sign for any action, maybe rby does not want to trust you without any explanation, especially in public. And this is a better action than leaving reviews, which are sometimes without reason. Just accept the rule that you can't be loved by everyone.
JollyGood is an exception because he have contributed a lot, just like other controversial DT members.
If he don't want to trust me, it should be in the middle of trust and distrust which is neutral, if he distrust me that's mean he not trust everything I do in this forum. It's true any user can leave any feedback, include exclude someone in their trustlist, create flag etc, but everyone are always stick with this rule
LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system Do's and Don'ts- Don't exclude users from your Trust list based on retaliation. It's okay to trust someone's judgement, even when he doesn't trust yours.
