I have to admit that I don't trade on here and I don't really keep up with who's a scammer and who's not a scammer.  I do try to warn people to be careful when I see people talking about doing some thing foolish.  I'm saying this in order to emphasize that I don't really know much about tomatocage as a whole.  I have had very limited interaction with him.  What stands out to me very starkly is the difference between this interaction and the last time.  (The PMs are posted upthread on like page 1 or 2 if you're intersted.)  Last time he was very cordial and made a big effort to tell QS that he needed to be sure that he wasn't putting up personal vengence ratings---within less than 24 hours he was able to convince QS (somehow) to change his slanderous ratings on me to neutrals.   When I saw that QS had returned his false ratings to negatives after being kicked of TC's list, I thought "oh well".  When I saw that TC had readded QS, I honestly expected that things would go as before, that TC would tell QS that he needed to fix his shit in order to be allowed on default trust.  I was quite shocked to find the PM block.  To me, it seems very suspicious.  And I realize that this is speculative, but given QS's open threat against me only 2 days before being readded and given QS' selling of some account on default trust and combining that with the stark contrast between TC's behavior this time and his behavior last time, I have to wonder if this is the same TC.
