Dan and Barely Awake have been a lot, a lot more diplomatic than I'm going to be.
If you have something worthwhile to say, say it. If you're here just to stir up trouble and emotions, you won't be here long.
The other mods and I spend hours here daily trying to make this a place where you hobbiest can come, discuss, share and learn and do it in an environment devoid of hostilities. There will be absolutely no tolerance for people or threads that run counter to that goal.
If you feel we're being "protective" of another member/sponsor/dealer, so be it. Because that's exactly what it is. We strive to 'protect and shield everyone from attack and bashing that I've seen in this and occasionally in other threads.
There is always an element who have to get their two cents worth in regardless if it contributes to the discussion or not. When those two cents turn into arguments for the sake of arguing, or just to inject discord, we view that as 'trolling' and it will not be tolerated.
Put down the beer can/wine glass or whatever it is that has you feeling manly and have a civil discussion or take it someplace else.
