Yes, because the "energy" was so tremendous. It took all of about 20 minutes. Nice strawman.
As for your negative ratings, do you agree that the trust system is broken? Then if so, your rating doesn't matter.
If you do not agree, then the rating system is working as intended and your rating is just.
In either case, it doesn't matter. But to answer your flawed conclusion... let me ask you this. How many people have seen your biased guide containing all manner of false information? More than 327 I would imagine. So I use you as an example to show a flawed system and you in turn post false information and mislead many more people with your guide. You probably shouldn't talk about ethics.
You
targeted me because I was maintaining an impartial resource which stated clearly that it was my personal interpretation and to be supplemented by a buyer's own research.
The -9 BFL category wasn't even required for the smear campaign, as I didn't want to make a bigger deal out of it or draw more attention to it should you be the target of any retaliation. You would have picked up OOF or OFL anyway and still be on 1 point regardless so it made no difference to your rating. In fact, I think you're equivalent rating has gone up quite considerably since you started your smear campaign - even ignoring the fact that you just went up more than any other company in the last adjustment.
Of course it matters, I earn my livelihood from relationships I develop - both current and new - from these forums. You saw a quick and dirty opportunity that might benefit yourself at my expense and you went for it even though you knew it would almost certainly damage my ability to do business.
