Did that thread get trashcanned? Shoot, I thought it was a valid one even if it had been discussed before.
Now, about the snowflake-slinging: I don't think anyone who's posted on this here page is truly as thin-skinned as you suggest. People are reasonably annoyed when they get even a neutral trust with something that has even a hint of negativity, because that neutral will probably stay with them forever.
Well, one of the freedoms that this forum allows is certainly the use of a trust system that is not moderated, which means that anyone can post whatever they want to anyone else trust wall, no matter how much it makes sense.
I've always thought the trust system here is seriously flawed, if not outright broken beyond repair. The only good thing about being able to leave any feedback for any person for any reason is to warn people of scammy behavior, since the forum doesn't moderate scammers. Seriously, I can't think of any other good reason for allowing that.
And to any newcomers here, listen to Lucius; that's the way the trust system works, like it or not. But believe me, even if you get a negative from a non-DT member for frivolous reasons, you'll get over it sooner or later.
