but i do still have the right my own opinion.
Yes and No.
You are a moderator of this forum/website. You should be IMPARTIAL on any affairs directed to the site sponsors / advertisers (and even to some extent potential sponsors / advertisers).
Its no secret that you are anything but neutral when it comes to vendor selection personally, and that fine. But to come on here and publically "lay into" another vendor, no matter how small of a jab it is, really doesn't show well for the board.
When your opinion comes to matters or OTHER things not business/board related, say whatever you want, but on matters like this, I don't think its really proper. Why should a vendor decide to pony up the $30+ a month to advertise here when the moderator is biased and even speaks out against other vendors right on the site? On the other hand, I'm *NOT* saying that you should look the other way if a vendor is in the wrong, but I think it would be better for moderators to direct that in a private communication and should leave it to the consumer to voice their issues.
This has nothing to do with me, dhp, intense, or anyone else, I just think its a prudent thing to do for the sake of the board.
