The rules here are simple...no personal attacks or company attacks. If something is factual and can be substantiated regarding a company it is of course permitted but evidence to back it up is necessary. Random mud slinging without backup is not. Constant bashing and attacks are what kills the enjoyment of these forums for the users...
Any moderator who has an affiliation or conflict of interest will back away from that thread and have another moderator tend to it...our jet mod did exactly that here which is commendable.
As far as deland I closed that thread and it was against the wishes of many including those very close with it...as for how soon something should get closed I see mods and me get slack for things closing too soon and sometimes not soon enough...we try to do the best job we can under sometimes difficult circumstances but always keep the users and everybodies enjoyment of the forums in mind before all.
Thanks all
