Not to play devil's advocate again (I know how much you all hate Rebelscum) but....why is it so bad that they locked that feedback thread? Matt's not a community asset to RS in their eyes, or they would have kept him around.
Don't get me wrong (notice I have a post in that very thread from a trade with Matt 2 months ago). I like Matt as much as anyone. But why do you care if a feedback thread at a site you don't even use gets locked?
Like Jesse said, it shows how completely petty a few of those guys over there are, and how entirely hung up on this whole JD thing they are as well, even when nothing's going on between us. Hell, Jeff just got banned over there a couple weeks ago for simply asking why their staff has a bunch of links in their signatures to various other sites - Star Wars and otherwise, while they're yelling at all of their members to remove any and all links in their sigs. Reasonable question for sure. Worthy of banning? Of course not. Their reason: You JD guys do nothing but cause trouble. Whatever that means. Furthermore, they have NEVER locked any of their member's feedback threads there, even after they got banned. So why the special treatment for me, huh?
As for Dustin locking my feedback link and adding a nice little "he's banned" insult to the end of it, if you can't figure out why that might be annoying, or even a hinderance to my future trading around the net, then I'm not going to waste my time explaining it to you Josh. I actually just started typing up a huge retort, but deleted the whole thing, 'cause I hate these stupid little "Devil's Advocate" bull**** discussions about a site and certain owners/staff members therefrom who are nothing but a cancer to the collecting community, and who don't deserve anything along the lines of what they have over there at RS, all of which was handed to them on a silver platter a few years ago.
Needless to say, despite my disgust for RS, it's trading and classifieds forums are obviously a good resource for filling holes in one's collection. So on the rare occurrence that someone points me towards a thread over there with one of my few needs in it, it would be nice to be able to point them towards my feedback link there so they can see they're in good hands for a potential trade. Now, it just looks like I'm some kind of problem member since Dustin babbled on in my thread about my banning. He's still just pissed off about my "You're Phillip Wise's Rick McCallum" comment, and is apparently never going to get over that...
And I don't have 10x more feedback here at JD. I've got a +100 at RS and a +182 here, IIRC. But if you're dealing with an RS'er in a potential swap, he may not be terribly interested in what feedback I may or may not have at any other sites, so the RS link could come in handy (which it hasn't for some time, but that's beside the point).
