...nothing in our thread points to a violation of Google guidelines.

And so what if it did?

It's their job to follow the guidelines, or not get noticed from breaking them, and it's obvious to me even if we did point out something that seems to be fairly obviously outside the rules Google doesn't do anything ... Remember: People do it in spam reports all the time ... [what happens most of the time? nothing]

IMO It's actually been done here recently, but not with Overstock, with that one site we all know and love [name omitted to protect G's bed buddy] ... Anyone who knows anything can go look at the jsNoFollow 'links' on the site and know exactly why they're there, but does it result in action? Nope.

Google does what they want to the sites they decide to take action on when they decide to do it and we don't have any say in that either way, so who cares if something was pointed out here or not?

We didn't go change someone else's site, did we?

Someone might actually have a case against the jsNoFollow site for non-attribution with those 'links' the way they are on the page, someone really might, because with the way it's coded if your turn your JavaScript off there is no attribution or link that I remember seeing ... As far as I can tell, they don't 'give attribution' as a blanket practice; they 'give attribution' in certain situations: Only when JavaScript is enabled.
