"For why do some seem to find it impossible to show a basic respect and trust to posters on our forum who they have not met and are never likely to? For that is the test."

Trust and respect are two commodities which cannot be demanded, but must rather be earned. If the people around me show no trust or respect for me, my first thought is "What am I doing wrong, or not dong right".

The building of trust and respect among my fellow men (oops! and women) is something I, not they, have to do, and I am unlikely to achieve this by irritating everyone I meet with repetitious whingeing, especially if I am whingeing about someone who has already gained the trust and respect of the people to whom I complain.
