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).

Be realistic. Why would these guys (IIS) pay for a court battle to defend your freedom of speech when a vendor sues them. And the vendor will sue the forum guys as they are the publishers of your comments. I would, who else do you sue. It's happened time and time again. It's easier to delete or ban the comments. Sorry, it's a fact of life.

Get a fruit box and head down the local park and shout your lungs out. See how long that lasts.

As per pricing, how can one vendor selling, say vixen gear, which he must buy from Tasco, an importer, match another vendor, an agent, who can buy direct from Vixen. Do your homework first. Or find a grey importer if you don't care about warranty.
