Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?


I have mostly been taking part of this forum occasionally, and from a distance if you will.  I have to admit I don't really know the kind of things that can go on, disputes or disagreements that can occur.  I have occasionally done searches in this forum using the search function to only come upon a thread that has been removed, oddly enough.

I have seen some discussions, and taken part in some others that become somewhat of a debate on certain brands, and they have become critical in some instances.  Usually fans of the brand in question rush to the defence, and from what I've seen, a healthy discourse occurs, with back and forth and occasional posts removed.  I'm thinking of smaller internet direct manufacturers such as your Emotivas, Schiit Audio, Ascend Acoustics and the like.

What I'm wondering is, have such companies had negative discussions stopped or removed?  Has anyone been part of similar discussions in which moderators suddenly step in and either lock or completely remove a discussion?

Cleeds keeps repeating his chararcter assassination theory on any customer who complains ...
I have done no such thing, and clearly there have been too many issues for Tekton to be completely blameless. But neither to I accept every claim as unvarnished truth. There are almost always two sides to every story, and sometimes more.

Let’s remember that the OP himself deleted his own thread. It’s almost as though he’s retracted his claims. Oddly, a few continue to prosecute this case without any first-hand information.

Hi cleeds. I pm’d the op a while back to see how it worked out. Tekton finally decided to work on his speakers and was sending him progress reports and pictures. So it appears to me that without him starting that thread, he most likely would still be waiting. I guess he was happy that progress was finally being made and ended the thread. Still don't understand why Eric posted the op was not being truthful without a single word to back it up. All the guy did was claim he paid for speakers months ago and had yet to receive them. Sounds mighty truthful to me...
