" I think the worst part is after they were informed that he didn't bid on his post, they just kept their flags anyway. I'll give them a couple of days to come around and if they are still downvoting by then then I will consider them unreasonable people and start avoiding them."

Yes, we are in agreement then @abitcoinskeptic. I value your opinion, so I was genuinely interested in your perspective, in case I was somehow missing something. That said, purely from a timeline point of view, I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume what I have written. They did not take the time to investigate fully and they have yet to have been informed of that fact.

As you say, in a day or so, we'll know, as they all will have had enough time to follow-up, should they choose to do so. In the case of one of them, waiting won't be necessary. They've already replied here ...

I'm going to "get away" for a bit, as I probably would regret the words I would likely choose to write in response (to this person) right now ...
