Sorry you feel this way, but helping users find better sources and proper
cautions are always helpful. I prefer to get both good and bad responses
about any and all sellers/developers to help make better informed list members.

Not hate, just disdain from the predatory business practices that can be
minimized by other helpful members. Like joining the AAA but not getting
any info about which towns to visit and which parts not to visit. Besides,
those that ruin the community should not be allowed to ruin it for
everybody else, hence Victor removed ferdi from the list. In fact, ask
Victor how helpful ferdi has been, a pretty blank email should follow.

Well then, let Victor delete any and all posts that are 'negative' and only
allow 'good' posts. The world is full of good and kind people, but also
has the bad and predatory ones too, delete the ones you don't want.

You're gonna let the lowest common denominator win??? Helping the
community means weeding out the bad stuff from the good stuff. Who do you
want to do that work for you? If any of us gets ripped off by a bad
seller, it's our duty to alert and inform the list to prevent another bad
situation. I hope you stick it out cause more good people the better.
