You guys have made it personal, to the point of even inventing a "word" so you can pretend it isn't personal.
You guys also keep pretending that I'm talking about BFL itself, and I'm not.
Nobody is pretending anything.
It doesn't matter if we use the term "BFL" or completely write out "scammy companies that use shills, false advertising, fuck over customers, and generally act in bad faith"
BFL is free to stop BFLing and I fully expect dogie to boost their rating when/if the time comes.
Using BFL in this way in the rating system, and creating a fake word to pretend to legitimize its use, is biased.
My standard for categorizing companies and rating them, is Consumer's Reports.
The "fake word" was created long before the rating system.
Never did he or anyone claim to be entirely free of bias.
You are free to have any imaginary standards you like and you can even create your own morally superior ratings system, but this is dogies thread and you may be the only person other than josh who has a problem with using BFL as a term.
The way BFL is being used in the rating system is unethical, and just because the majority is going along with it, doesn't mean they're right. In this case, they absolutely aren't right. They are biased, and unethical.
Just because you declare it unethical/wrong doesn't mean it is. If everyone is happy with the current system besides you, what's the problem?
You have yet to even dispute the ratings BFL received. If dogie is being biased like you claim how about letting us know where?
