In my opinion, if someone didn't scam and steal money, they can be forgiven for just about anything. Anything that the forum doesn't deem illegal anyways.
In addition red tags are for failed trade, you covered the proven scam thing anyway.
Ask and respect the decision. It may or may not go the way you wish, but that's what you have to deal with.
How many inappropriate feedback you will need to see before you make the decision that it's enough with the respect? You are not supporting the reason for the red feedback but
you are fine with having JollyGood on your trust list.
