There should be a rule about posting anything about someone you have never even met.... I'm still undecided, but I think Im out of here soon myself. Life is just too damn short to have to wade neck high in drama and BS while walking on eggshells... And it just seems like unless you want to get catty back or otherwise jump into the fray , you will be left behind... I guess I'm just too nicely natured and perhaps a lil sensitive for this board. Anyhow, I wish everyone the best...I should make a decision by the end of this month.

First I'd like to apologize for having removed your post..........having given it some thought perhaps the best thing to have done was post a friendly notice regarding the forum guideline about providers posting in the review area's.
Second I'd like to attempt to explain the stigma behind providers posting in the review section. Often times we hobbyist encounter providers registering to promote themselves or attempt to undermine their competition by sabotaging reviews. That in turn formulates a problem with our hobbyiest who's main concern is to get accurate information so they can make a well thought out decision regarding the provider being reviewed.
With that said typical protocol for allowing providers to chime in regarding reviews or hobby related topics is the co-ed section because it allows for more opinion or discussion to partake with both hobbyist and providers...........will you encounter some resistance? Of course....... not everyone see's eye to eye on every subject......Negativism? Perhaps.....tone can often be hard to interpret via text moreover some folks just have a more candid way of expressing themselves. Drama? Well that all depends on how much of it you choose to partake in. Sometimes you have to stop and think if a comment is so malicious or disturbing that it's worth responding to additionally as high as emotions run sometimes you have to remember that these post can be brought to the staff's attention with the RTM button.
The staff is here on a voluntary basis which means we may not always be online but as I assure you that each post reported does not get ignored.

so you know, as I am sure you probably already do, I didn't hold you enforcing the rules at all, (that would be ridiculous lol) and you were very nice at explaining why it was done too... you did so in a timely and polite fashion which I find exceptional. It seems to me like y'all (mods) are pretty on top of things. I think what Im going to do at this point is go ahead and just take a break if it gets to be too much for me and just try to stick to forum/topics that aren't the kind that get people on the defensive nor the offensive
