The funniest negative FB I've seen

Was chatting with a friend of mine at a local show today. He's a very knowledgeable Seated collector, who sells stuff on Ebay from time to time as well. He told me he recently got his first neg on Ebay. I couldn't believe it until I saw it myself:
Half dime was v.nice, bit shocked of size though!
His reply:
A NEGATIVE Because The U.S. Mint Made Half Dimes Small In Size??? K.M.R.A
And his retaliatory neg:
Very Slow Payment Then Leaves Negative Because U.S. Half Dimes Are Small In Size

Lynn sent me an email.
The seller, is a Seated specialist too.
Bill doesn't seem too happy with the negative.
Wonder what K.M.R.A. means?

It's easy for me to overlook a negative like the one he received because it was clearly unwarranted and from a clueless buyer (his response to the negative, by itself, was fine and helps us realize it was a stupid buyer who left it). I wouldn't even give a negative like that a second thought provided it wasn't a part of overall crummy feedback. Unfortunately, he turned a suspect and meaningless negative into a REAL negative that concerns me with the clear retaliation. Slow payment or not, if he wouldn't have left the negative if he didn't receive one, it's retaliation. And that, to me, DOES make a stupid negative into a very real black mark against him.

Look at the feedback he's left.
A B+ transaction is a negative? Block this moron quickly.

Yikes! Done, and done. On second thought, maybe a moron like this does justify retaliation...
<< <i>but I think his retaliatory negative may have hurt his credibility more than the neg he *received* did. >>
Normally, I'd agree simply because slimeball sellers always retaliate. But, this is a good seller and this buffoon deserved it.

Its a very small coin and the US mint is at fault ?
I have no idea what i bought !
Whats worse,Buffoon ,Moron,Idiot,Tard ?

The retaliatory neg, is still what it appears to be. (retaliatory)
Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

<< <i>Barry, was there some reason to leave out this bidder's ID here? Apparently it was posted in RCC, and someone else has posted a link to this guy's feedback. He is a textbook example of a bidder everyone should block. He left a neg for a seller on an auction that closed Nov 23 that he received on Nov 30 for "slow shipping". >>
Guess I should have posted it, Eric. Ray posted the link early in the thread (5th post down). Hope the guy selling the Peace dollars doesn't get negged for the coin being too big

We don't know when he received them. Check the date on that auction again. He left feed back Nov 30, but it ended on OCT 23 not Nov 23. We don't know when it actually arrived. I agree though that the neg was unjustified.

While I understand why he'd be miffed at such stupid negative feedback, I still think it would show more class to simply respond rationally to it and leave it alone. Any halfway understanding buyer would immediately disregard the negative as something really stupid. Personally, I'd rather deal with a seller that takes it and simply explains the cluelessness of the feedback than one who responds with a negative in kind. In fact, I'd block the yahoo who left such stupid feedback.
That won't stop me from buying more nice Seated Dimes from Bill at this point, though. He does deliver the goods.
