I didn't chime in on the other thread because I've witnessed what is being discussed in this thread first-hand and did some digging months before this thread arose. In essence, I was saying "Hey, I've seen this going on as well". I'm not sure how that is a problem?
Because you're not doing that, you're throwing a lot of baseless accusations around and slighting individuals and entire companies without really having the first clue what you're talking about. That's the main problem. Nobody is going to interfere with your right to do that here, but you don't get to remain free of judgment or criticism; that is also our right.
