Big Brother Watching over Us (again)

The removed topic was posted in today's email from Agon.
The title asked people to list Vendors who were known to 
be problematic. This was apparently way over the line for
B.B.

Known to be problematic?

I question the term problematic? What constitutes a problem?

I think I know where this is going. 

As long as there is a money back guarantee on a product or "AS IS" in the description posted. What could be problematic? Money is either exchanged for a product received or not..

I've never seen endorsements from AG only adds.

WHO needs to be protected? Using a product or not is still up to the individual, just like brands of shoes, cars, underwear, and women/men.

It's one thing to promote a product because YOU or I used it. BUT to tell people actively NOT to purchase something "BECAUSE" you don't think it works.. Fuse and cable threads seem to always go that direction..

22 cent for sure..

What are you smoking??

We are now called a complaintocracy thanks to the internet 

Some common sense on the part of AGon, obviously.

For effective free speech to prevail there are some pragmatic issues to be addressed.  I can imagine that nearly every vendor at one point or another has had at least one disgruntled customer.

Should every such vendor be named and shamed things would become so dilute and unfocused as to become meaningless.  There is a much better and well known publication for that kind of trial by social media.
