//And yet you actively judge who others are by the transparency they allow. Doesn't that seem like a double standard? //

Non-sequitor. I judge what is written based on the histories they provide to defend their position.

//Morality aside, from a game theory perspective, you see how they may encourage others not to participate with you because it signals you are not a trustworthy actor and have something to hide while taking full advantage of everyone else's transparency?//

Game theory is mostly a fancy word used mainly from economists that don't know how to sell their bullshit. Not a thing in the way you think it is. Whether I am trustoworthy or not can be deducted in time through my actions. This is how I always gain favour in the longterm even from those you initially dislike me.
