There's nothing more annoying than people who play both sides of the fence. Individuals that say one thing, but confide that they hate someone, yet are nice to their face. How are you supposed to know you have the confidence of someone that implements these tactics? Personally, I don' think they should be trusted, because they could in fact be doing the same thing to you. This is why I prefer to be genuine and make it abundantly obvious that I don't like someone. Or totally ignore the person I dislike; I don't engage with them in some kind of retarded-pussy ass mental chess game. Everyone wants to be such a twat nowadays, and play these games. If you know people like this, stay away from them. If you are a person like this, go fuck yourself.

I agree with the overall premise that people who talk shit behind people's backs while being nice to their face are probably untrustworthy assholes, but there's two sides to this coin:
I'm a person who sees nuance and I cop flak for that sometimes. I can disagree with a person on many things or even flat-out dislike them without feeling the need to openly express hatred for them. Further, I don't think that just because I generally dislike a person means I need to write off everything they ever say or do as bullshit, because even a broken clock is right twice a day. I've been accused of "riding the fence" or "talking out both sides of my ass" or whatever in the past just because I don't play the fucking brain-dead tribalistic "team vs team" game that so many people are fucking obsessed with these days.
On the flipside of that, people who flat out say one thing to one person then say something completely different to another person are untrustworthy assholes, sure - no argument there.

I dunno if I am a flaky manipulator. I mean, I have this strict code of honour in my head to not confront those above me in "year and rank" (I mean, someone who is like 40+ and has a steady job, family and reputation, not just anyone who is older than me), atleast until it gets silly enough to be untolerable. There are people like these who I really don't like, but I often keep that information to myself, and only talk about how much I hate them to a trusted friend who pretty much knows 80% of me. I don't really see honour in talking shit about someone behind their back to everybody. But does the same go for trusted friends? I probably sound petty when I say I am polite to such people. I don't do petty stuff like "spit in their coffee" (best example I can find) because that implies I would like to fight them, but I am unsure if I could win. Those who seek independence don't have to burn villages and kidnap people. They can play by the rules and excel, proving independence under handicap.
Bottom line is: Talking shit to everyone about someone behind their back is indeed a shitty move, but I am unsure if that makes me petty since I like to confer to my close friends about the same people I happen to be enemies with?

Kontra, you're right, it's not easy to trust people like that. You don't know whose side they're on if they can't say what they mean to your face.
I think you would have probably hated me if you knew me in person 10 years ago. I was not very confident at all and could only be brash and honest behind the safety of a keyboard. I just kept to myself mostly and it was probably difficult for other people to understand my opinions on people and about stuff. Turns out a lot of people are afraid of confrontation. The way you describe yourself sounds like the type of person a lot of people would respect, but wouldn't want to get on the bad side of. If people don't like the way you think, they might be intimidated about fighting a war in the moment, so they just kinda try to act cooperative to level you out instead of fighting with you about stuff all the time.

In my past experiences I've gone on to make great friends with people who've made terrible first impressions on me so unless they're openly hostile towards me I generally try keep my thoughts to myself, even when I know the gossip won't make it's way back to the person in question (because it feels awkward being friendly to someone who you've smeared and turned people off in the past, that and I have a terrible poker face). ;P
