Well said.
I have said the same thing in other threads as well. Long story short, some of us do business here. We are not going to just sit back and let ourselves or our business get bashed by fry cooks who can sling allegations with nothing to lose.
The rules are simple. Post proof of your claims or be banned.
For far too long people could simply smear people and companies with reckless disregard and would have no accountability for their actions. Eric has been trying to clean that up. It is not easy, and he is making progress. It is just taking some time.
For those who find amusement and entertainment in actual people of this industry being bashed and trolled for personal vendettas, and childish "I don't like him" bullshit. That says more about you, your life, and lack of happiness in it.
There are many people I do not like. There are people who do not like me. However there is a difference. I do not make it a point to post in their threads bashing them all the time. I do not follow them around posting behind them in all of their thread I can find them in. I do not try and smear people I do not like without provocation. I do not try and ruin their business. Nor shit on their B&S threads even when I think they are shit. I do not launch attacks on their sites nor spread lies about them.
None of that makes me any money.
I like EB, even though I do not always agree with s/he opinions. I find MetaMan entertaining. Although he and I personally have not always seen eye to eye either. He has been around and knows about this industry. Which is more than I can say for some of the more recent trolls.
Eric's job is not easy, but I am happy to see he is at least trying.
