Normally I appreciate the work that mods and admins do here . . . but JordyO You have gone off too far. Your last comment is clearly a threat and a silencing tactic . . . so what is the average user of this board like me supposed to think about this?
Personally, I see you acting as totalitarian dictator here. I see that you will publicly threaten people who disagree with you. I see that as a person with power you will abuse that power to squelch free speech.
That attitude doesn't make this a community that I want to be a part of. If I were a paying advertiser, I would think twice about advertising in a place where a mod acts the way that you did. Even if you are a volunteer, that doesn't give you the rite to threaten a vendor to shut up.
I expected more from you Jordy. In the past you've acted with more integrity. I don't know what happened here, but you got out of line.

You can look at what i said to Rob as either a threat or just a simple warning.
I considered it a friendly warning. I had already typed something out which would have exposed a very big difference in pricing and an issue that directly related to him but I decided to act with the integrity you say I lack and gave him a chance to settle down a bit before I really went after it.
As Rick said though, I'm going to lose no matter which side of this argument I sit on so what I considered is that at the end of the day I'm like every other user here who is an enthusiast and wants the BEST information possible.
I'm not here to make friends (although I have!) and I'm certainly not here to make any money (I have NOT) so I tell it like it is. If you disagree with me then you have that right but be ready to back up your reasoning because I usually have a way of backing up mine (in this case, I do!)
