Honest question on what is considered "unecessary vendor bashing"

[67zo6Camaro]

I think this is a great issue that needs some sorting out. I have recently noticed some post concerning venders business behavior. I also noticed a comparison was made about postings negative feedback on this site is not allowed and was compared to how Magazines would handle negative feedback or lack of it. Personally this is not a valid debate, as the magazines typically stop at the end user with one way communication.

The reality here is this is the techno age and internet forums are the place for people to communicate. Part of the communication includes debates, opinions and even negative feedback about a vendor. If you start controlling the input of the user, forum members, then you start to water down the back bone of this site.... I agree that some rules need to be set forth about complaints and/or negative opinions reguardless if they are directed at a vendor and/or even a member.

I was also taken back slightly by the zero tolarence that was conveyed...and I'm also in support of working on this issue in order for members to discuss freely positive and even negative expreiences associated with this hobby. Vender issues will not go away and they are not for bad business only. It is important for this site to consider a little more freedom concerning negative input and/or opinions in order for this sites validity to be upheld in the highest standard.
