Ratimov's plagiarism loophole has been discussed before, in several topics. He didn't get banned for it, which means Mods think it's okay. If Mods think it's okay, who am I to disagree?
Bad and rude language is allowed, and shouldn't be a reason for negative feedback either. The same for retaliation feedback.
My take: both of you should remove the negative feedback. If I would loan either one of you $100, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't scam me. That's what the Trust system is for, and that means negative feedback is unwarranted.
You guys don't like each other: that's okay! Agree to disagree. Ignore each other. Or get a beer together. Find common ground instead of drama.
LoyceV, you understand perfectly how all this should work, but some touchy, gentle boys don’t understand this, so they are ready to ruin any trust simply because they were offended. If Ratimov told someone to go to hell, then Ratimov fully deserves distrust and being ignored, but not a red trust, in which some crazy person writes long-rotten nonsense without a single proof, and even with insults.
If this little boy cannot understand it himself, then he needs the help of older users to explain to him how it all works. I described it in more detail in this post; I don’t want to repeat it 100 times:
