I'm missing why Autopia has singled out several Autopians for making comparisons between product lines. Several different members have chosen to make the comparisons and systematically they are being deleted and now told that kind of discusion is not allowed. I'm not sure what rule we are all breaking, in fact I remember David encouraging this discusion in another post about boutique brands. I think saying people have something to prove is being a little paranoid, I think people were following the free exchange of information, at least that's what I was doing. Here's what David wants from Autopia and I thought everyone was following this except the closed minded individuals who are product obsessed:
"From the beginning, the very nature of Autopia has been to explore, share knowledge and enjoy a community of like-minded people. That means we do evaluate products, we do compare products, we do ask the tough questions, and we do document facts as knowledge. That’s all well and good until it turns into the Autopia version of the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s." David B.
People who were making the comparisons aren't the people trying to make it a fued, they were just sharing information in the spirit of Autopia, IMO. I have seen no ill intent from any of them, in fact the last post was by a product loyalist who found he can get his favorite product cheaper. Now this type of thing is banned here because of a few repected members don't like the posts and make trouble. Perhaps someone high up can clarify why making certain comparisons are no longer tolerated so the rest of us can follow the rules w/o being singled out as being trouble makers. :sadpace:
