B/S/T Etiquette

I get both sides but I think people should either work out disputes privately or, if they're going to post publicly about them, have the cojones to tell us who you're complaining about.

If someone posts a general complaint about an issue that they want to get feedback on, maybe it makes sense to not name the person publicly in case there really is no issue.

The problem here is that someone who thought they were being accused outed themselves after someone else posted a link to a thread that the OP had recently made an offer on. At that point, I think the OP should have posted that wasn't the seller he was talking about. It shouldn't have taken a week and almost 300 subsequent posts for that to happen.

I've seen many threads that are less general requests for feedback/guidance and more efforts to gain leverage in a dispute.

Maybe someone will have a pair of cojones for sale at the Strongsville show. Or on the BST.
