I usually agree with you oddball, but all due respect if he chooses to voice a personal concern, why should site admin punish him if they have nothing to hide about their dealings? Obviously not a matter of transparency, pharaoh posted just as much of the personal interaction 2 posts down as OP did, which I see nothing wrong with besides that due to your post before it seems hypocritical. Mainly don't see any problem with pharaohs post either because OP chose to post it first, which i think is fine in turn because its his concern.
Most here realize you are doing this for basically nothing, which most appreciate, I just think it's a bit like aquascape lately deleting negative feedback posts. He was easily disproven by pharaohs post and now comes off looking like an idiot, don't you think a month ban is a bit harsh? I don't even know the guy, but I'm willing to bet from the way he writes the smart people on this forum would have figured out he isn't as credible as you pretty quickly even if pharaoh didn't out him.
Just my opinion, don't have a horse in this race.
