I’ve used eBay since '98 or '99 and the feedback process hasn’t changed at all since then. It’s gotten a fancier-looking UI but the mechanics of it are exactly the same as it’s always been. I think the only difference between then and now is the text used to be limited to 50 characters and it’s 500 now.

Shit. Thanks. I gotta go leave feedback for the refrigerator control board I bought last month.

So yeah, agreed.

Your point is?

You’ve pretty much just made it for me. Thanks. I’m not going to engage in your gish-gallop.

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.

Yes, that’s the only reason you got banned. You got me.

It’s not the purity tests, taking things out of context, hostility, or trollish behavior.

It’s not the condescending comments.

It’s not the smear campaign you’re STILL going on about while taking things out of context to “prove” your point.

It’s not the fact that you intentionally re-posted a removed comment that violated the rules.

It’s not the fact that I explicitly said that this is a no-politics community and was only allowing the post to remain up because it was about political discussions in general. And you decided to bring explicit politics into it.

It’s not the fact that your have a LONG history of bad-faith behavior and derailing conversations with your shtick.

No. It can’t possibly be any of that. It must be because I’m a genocide apologist, bootlicking Nazi. That’s clearly the only rational conclusion to be drawn here.

You fucking caught me.

Yep, this. Thanks for that. I had started to say almost the same thing but had to get back to my yardwork before I could wordsmith it.

Yep, modern. Should have clarified.

That’s kinda why I tagged it “general”. It’s been a good decade or two since cut the cord, but I’ve still caught some TV in the intervening years and don’t recall the bodybuilding competitions becoming any less of a thing. So, clearly, it’s still popular enough to televise :shrug:.
