As has been said many times - if you don't like it here there are plenty of other fora you can join - maybe you & your mate KOS can start your own?
Ian is not a "mate" and neither is Lee. They simply own a business where I've bought B&O products and both offered a superb and professional service. Can't fault either. But I don't know either personally.
I would buy from and, more importantly, recommend both again in the future though. And indeed, do recommend LifeStyle and MoreThan. My previous comment about Ian and his business is that bad mouthing him (whether he deserves that or not is a personal opinion) could, effectively, cause reduced trade and that's something I didn't want to see for Lee or Ian as both have done a great service for B&O users over the last few years.
By all means send Ian/KoS those comments in private, via a PM, but we don't need to see it, in such style, from a moderator on a public forum. As I said before, you've also got to be careful what you say as a moderator as a court of law could construe your comments as official representation of the board owners views. You've effectively been elected to speak for the board through moderation, so personal views should not be expressed in public in such a manner. You have PM's to do this.
Whether we believe the Sepp Blatter comment was distasteful or not, we can make our own opinion about this. We're all adults here and the fact we own B&O kit means, frankly, we've done fairly well for ourselves in life, thus I'm sure are capable of making our own judgements and opinions on another persons posts. No need for that reply in public, IMHO. Nor the further threat that anyone who disagrees can go and set up their own board elsewhere.
