I'm quoting the original post here, and, honestly, I don't see anything to comment about. In your accusation, you referred to me as "it." Honestly, I don't think anyone should have to respond to an accusation where the accuser is using the asexual or neuter pronoun to describe you. But I will respond, as otherwise, I'm sure someone will claim that I never responded and therefore assumed it to be correct.
You have cited one game and referred to another user without citing a game. The game in reference you and emergentsea received, IMO a fair rating. I believed the two of you to be using secret diplomacy in the Live Chat. You posted awkward comments on each others walls. If I had the time, I would have reported the secret diplomacy, but I didn't feel there was enough to warrant a bust and, instead, I would have simply wasted the C&A mods time. So, I rated accordingly, foed you and moved on.
If you browse my "ratings left" you will find that I do provide low ratings for players who have demonstrated negativity of some form. Of those who have received low ratings from me, most already have a low average rating, so I feel my ratings have been (for the most part) spot-on. There are probably a few ratings left here and there that may not reflect the user's average rating, but that are correct for the game I played. I also offer a wide range of ratings, and pay strict attention (or I at least attempt to) leaving an appropriate rating that is as close as possible to what the game experience was like.
In addition, I go back (from-time-to-time) to re-evaluate the ratings I have left to determine if, perhaps, I left a rating that was not in-line with what transpired in the game. I also withdraw positive ratings that I have left for players who unfairly left me a low rating. Sometimes, ratings stay. Other times, they get withdrawn.
Again, I feel this accusation is incorrect and as the hammer tends to fall quickly around here, I would appreciate an opportunity to respond publicly to any decision that even remotely hints at impropriety on my part with respect to "ratings abuse."
