Apparently making a call out to request ratings doesn't just apply to just doing it for yourself.

It wasn't without reservation that I posted the request for people to read the thread and rate accordingly.
I enjoy discussion, that's what a forum is all about. With discussion can sometimes come dispute and/or disagreement. That's normal, that can even be healthy.
But when someone appears to have an agenda to discredit a fellow forum member (for reasons known only to themselves), then it starts to get ugly.
Even when I posted a link to Furgal's own company's website which backed up what I've been stating about their refusal to allow my order (placed from outside of the US), Furgal still insisted I was lying and making up it all up. Why he believes I would bother doing this, I have no idea.
Where Furgal went completely over the line however, was when he openly accused me of
criminal activity. He implied (more than once in this thread ) that I was smuggling goods across the border. With
nothing to base this accusation on, he stated that I "openly cheat on dutys(sic) and taxes". I've made it abundantly clear that this is absolutely
not the case.
The problem with the internet is that there is no accountability. People can post whatever they wish, no matter how false, no matter how damaging, no matter how hurtful.
Thankfully we have the ability here at PFF to at least limit how much of this we're willing to tolerate from other members.
The rating system is a valuable tool when used with discretion. That's all I was asking for.
