| | Hello Bricklink Community !
I have a technical question regarding certain building techniques that I am unfamiliar
with, and I was wondering if someone could please help me out.
The instructions to a SW Tie Defender MOC tell me to insert a 1 x 1 plate with
thin O clip into the back of a 1 x 1 modified headlight brick (parts 4085a and
4070, respectively). I have a screenshot of the steps attached below.
I personally have never thought to use this technique, but the idea is amazing.
It lowers the top of the clip half a plate thickness relative to the top of the
headlight brick, which can yield greater detail and greater precision in elevation.
However, when I found the pieces in my own collection and replicated the build,
the clip did not initially fit into the back of the headlight. I had to flex
the clips uncomfortably far to fit them into the headlight and once inside, they
remained flexed. The possible internal stresses on the part worry me greatly
!
Does anyone have any experience with this technique? If so, what are your thoughts
on it? Is there a better alternative I can experiment with?
All your help is greatly appreciated, thank you !

also lowers the top studs by half a plate when connected to the back
of the headlights, and so does the headlight itself when placed on its
back like [p=4070a].

Not in my opinion (whatever that is worth).
Personally, I might leave a neutral depending on the degree of rudeness (which
is very subject to opinion).
I reserve negative for cases of where I am certain I was cheated even after effort
was made to get the seller to make things right.
I have more often avoided buying from a seller due to their responses to feedback
than I have due to actual feedback.

Let me answer your subject line “Is rudeness grounds for negative feedback" by
posing another question: Is politeness grounds for positive feedback?
Let’s say after receiving two orders, you find one to be substandard albeit
with placating and very polite comms - The other, superb in respect to shipping-packaging-pricing
and product quality, but accompanied by what you consider to be “rude” comms.
What then would be the considered respective feedbacks? An even more trenchant
question to ask oneself: which of the two would you continue buying from? 
Personally in looking back, I've spent the largest amount of money over the
years on BL with perhaps one of the rudest I've come across here. Just added
thoughts when pondering all things feedback…
I still think that the “feedback system” will be the last thing that e-commerce
sites end-up conquering with sound solution.

I think I was kind of aware how things would turn out once I receive more feedbacks.
It is unfair and disappointing this buyer, who had ordered from me three times,
have read the store's terms but do not comply with store's terms, buy
cheap instructions, complains (politely) about their condition, and still prefers
to keep the item instead of return and receiving full refund.
As a buyer, I am either happy with item, so I leave positive feedback, or I am
not satisfied, in which case I accept to return and get a full refund.

No one needs to deal with a truly rude seller. A polite and professional manner
is a required part of customer service. So, yes, I would consider leaving negative
feedback if I was mistreated as a buyer.
Feedback given is not only a message to the seller, it is a message to the community.
I feel this is just like shopping at the local hardware store, etc. If I was
treated in a rude, unreasonable manner by a store owner, you better believe I
would tell my friends about it and suggest they avoid that store.

Very true, but given the seller does'nt care much for their own customer
service they probably don't care enough about whether their feedback remains
in good standing either so whats the point in the buyer jeopardising their own
feedback just as a means of warning others?
Until Bricklink implements a feedback system that protects buyer opinion without
the fear of retaliation then the feedback system will always remain flawed and
unfit for purpose!
My advice to the OP would be to block the store, tell the seller what you think
of their poor service and don't leave any feedback so as not to give them
the satisfaction of jeopardising your own repuation!

| I would leave negative feedback and stoplist them (is that what it's called?),
just as I have with a few people on here as a result of their behaviour.

At the very least, least favourite the store and also stop list them so they
cannot buy from you.

Anything that particularly shaped your feeling about a transaction is grounds
for your feedback, but negative feedback should come with a specific comment
so other people can judge for themselves whether your experience is likely to
relate to them.

It depends ...
One viewpoint is that feedback represents the whole essence of the transaction.
More recently, I'm seeing a trend to where feedback is simply was the buyer
(or seller) happy or unhappy. That type of feedback has external influences,
above and beyond the transaction, but it creeps in.
BL is being a bit less responsive in removing undesired feedback, so take that
into consideration.
I may well receive another negative, and all because a customer is arguing about
the definition of INCOMPLETE. The feedback system here needs serious revision,
and mostly to sort out when non-positive is justified or not.

| Yesterday I posted a question about making a reply to a feedback. I posted a
picture of the page I was asking about and thought that I had blanked out all
of the buyer's information. I screwed up and missed 1 spot. As soon as I
realized that, I cancelled my message. The post was a question. It was NEVER,
EVER meant as a name and shame. I was having trouble finding the correct link
and just needed a bit of help.
So, to my buyer: I apologize profusely for the mistake. I honestly cannot apologize
enough. That was my mistake and it is completely on me.
Now, to the member who emailed my buyer:
***** THAT IS NOT OKAY. ******
My buyer is new to BL; which I mentioned in my message. Normally, I send a message
to the buyer explaining the feedback system and why their feedback is unwarranted
and so damaging. I have found that communication and education about BL goes
a long way. Never in my wildest imaginings would I have thought that another
seller would take it upon themselves to send such a message to my buyer. The
chastising tone of the email and the "mention" of being stop-listed by sellers
made my buyer feel threatened.
What should have been a conversation between myself and my buyer became public
in a way that I never wanted. Again, that is my mistake and I apologize.
