About my rating being retaliatory:
Initially, Vod said bunch of untrustworthy stuff, like called me a scammer when I had not scammed anyone. I rated you, Vod, because of that, just like my rating reason states. It's perfectly valid and not placed because of your rating itself. I simply can't trust people who call me a scammer when I've not scammed anyone. Later I've thought maybe I could've let it slide, but back then I chose to announce it to the world by rating you negatively. It turned out that you're more than just an untrustworthy person.
Vod claims you're untrustworthy because you bid on your own auction.
You claim Vod is untrustworthy because of unpleasant things said to you.
Let's say I ignore your flexible moral backbone for a minute and assume that your feedback is not retaliatory. The best interpretation I can come up with is that you both exercised your freedom of speech.
