And this is exactly why I feel it's fair game to bash these retailers. Let's look at it this way - newbies who do some pre sales research will not get realistic and honest feedback on retailers when forums are censoring truthful posts about retailers and their lack of support to customers. Said newbie sees nothing but good reviews, because the bad reviews have been removed from forums due to forum owners being worried about legal action, and makes a mistake and buys from said retailers. Newbie is not happy when something goes wrong, wonders why he can't find any reports of crap support from said retailer when he researches etc. It's a disservice to us - the customer. Retailer 1, customer 0. Not very good imho. Any retailer who threatens legal action against a forum should have their IP address banned from viewing the forum site - it isn't that hard to do.
