An important topic is being presented here. Thanks, Judah.
As a trade member, there are days when I lurk and days when I post.
I think long and hard before I post.
I ask myself if my contribution is beneficial, important to the discussion or just an added nod of approval.
I do observe bias for certain vendors, but like any product, a consumer can read the reviews and not agree with them.
Consumer Reports magazine shows bias by" recommending" certain products but that doesn''t mean you should buy those products.
It''s a big world out there with lots of consumers, prosumers, vendors and industry professionals.
I think overall, we blend together nicely and each one of us has a right to say what we feel without scorn. Personal attacks are always unacceptable.
And one does not always have to be right.
