Default Expressing Opinion

Recently I expressed my opinion on PaPal. I wasn't happy with it. Someone from RC Universe pulled my post and sent me an email stating some reasons. I posted another in the airplane Q & A with the title "What Do you Think"? It must have been pulled too. In that post, members verbally beat me up saying it's great, and if I have any complaints, I should find some anti-payPal site and post there.

All I wanted to do was get a dialog started. In my case, I sold an engine thru PayPal. I wanted the money right away. The only way they would transfer funds immediately was thru a direct transfer to my bank account. I wasn't going to provide them that number. As an alternative, I requested a check mailed to me. They claimed it would take two weeks max, and charged me $1.50 for the check. Well, that's no different than me asking the seller to send a check. When it clears, I send the product. Same amount of time is elapsed. The difference is PayPal got 3% of the sale price plus another fee for issuing a check. What's the benefit to me? None, unless I provide my account number for an instant transaction, but it still costs 3%. I realize you can have as many opinions as members. The point I was trying to make is PayPal has little value to me.

You at RC Universe need to decide whether you can tolerate opinions other than those generally expressed. I suggest you do. That's waht makes an organization strong.
