i look at this all through a lens of credibility. I don’t know gibs so can’t really say much about their credibility, although masquerading as a vendor for whatever reason doesn’t predispose me to much trust. Krysia is no vendor simp, she has a track record of really digging into these types of questions and coming to a fair determination. PTDS, I can say the most about because I have personally been involved in designating the “buyer beware” tag. It was always, without exception, reserved for severe wrongdoing such as theft from customers or established patterns of poor quality. Sry as a vendor has had plenty of demonstrated issues and has an obvious agenda since they profit from the outcome of this conversation, so not a particularly credible source.
In a world where we don’t have direct personal access to all the facts, we have to choose our surrogates based on how close they are to the situation and what their incentives might be. You can go ahead and choose SRY for whatever reason you want, but if more credible sources who stand to gain or lose nothing from the outcome have seen the source material and made a determination, i am inclined to go that direction.
