My final viewpoint on this is that this board can be (and is) read by DD sponsors and potential DD sponsors who may not wish to have their products or services debated openly. As I understand it, some of the DD riders are now having to put in additional resources (both financial and time) because of a sponsor's changed viewpoint which is directly due to negative comments made on this board. This cannot be a good thing. The DD series is a DSC series and we all as DSC members (and posting non-members) have a responsibility to the series. If you don't feel that you want to support the series, then don't, its fine, but don't get involved in a negative way. Why would you? Negative comments, directly or indirectly about any of the sponsors (or their products) can have a negative affect on the riders and not only do they not support the best interests of the riders, can actually be measured financially.
