Also, all other things (service, support etc) are very theoretical in nature.
I personally prefer to be served by the most rude person in the world provided I am getting exactly what I wanted to buy, at right price, then to be ripped off by some golden-tongue sweet-talking retailer.

Political correctness is NOT a good attitude, it wil backfire sooner or later..
You are absolutely correct, but in this day and age, people who run online forums are more concerned with protecting themselves than *true* freedom of speech.

I do find it offensive that the TOS basically protects the rights of vendors before the rights of us, the consumer. Given Mike's attitude to protecting vendors, and complaints not being posted against them, I guess iceinspace is not the forum for me. I'd rather have openness and freedom of speech anyday to be honest.

Another forum bites the dust (for this lad).
