Maybe Logos is talking about it so much so we all feel like we should give him a point every time he mentions it. As it continues he’s on a slow but steady climb upward to more points. He’s using it to his advantage while making it seem like he’s very ticked off.
Nice try. What burns me is that I have to share the forum with such callous and vile individuals. NTM cowardly. They have no consideration for what others have bequeathed me. Assholes stealing from the tip jar. Pathetic.
Well, this kinda sucks. I was scheduled to have tonight off, but was called in because the manager screwed up the schedule...
What happens to "Sorry, guy. I already made plans."?
The censorship on this forum has gone beyond rediculous.
NO DISCUSSION! ONLY PRAISE!
This is why I stopped reviewing US products in the first place, but now even when feedback is asked for it STILL gets deleted.
I don't know if it's power happy mods or US staff but I know multiple people are unhappy with it. No wonder we lose so many good members.

Might it have to do with how you phrase your critique?
I don't have a Diamond board but I did read Isola's comments and constructive assessments. I can see how the direct to the point wording could be taken as somewhat hostile/unfriendly... or at the very least negative. But for those of us that have been dedicated to the use of, legacy and improvement of lightsabers... this kind of clarity based upon experience is much needed information. Not only to help future buyers but also to provide feedback to the saber companies and developers that are wanting us to continue to purchase their products.
There are a lot of up and coming new innovative sabersmiths worldwide that are offering artistic and functional saber designs. These include the newest in electronics capabilities such as Bluetooth Apps... therefore giving the established companies genuine competition.
Those that have chosen blind loyalty to one brand with none to minimal experience with other sabers ... well it's a shame and at times a missed opportunity for many reasons. All this drama does is split the saber community. Those that basically gather together on a forum... want to be able within a friendly non-judgmental place to be able to share their love of sabers and SW. And also to express in great detail any related concerns, positive realistic suggestions and more often than not said with enthusiasm for the forum owner's offerings.
In my humble opinion there is great danger of a censorship backlash that results with the old guard no longer feeling like their saber related contributions are appreciated. Many have grown weary of the stagnation and limitations for growth and find no reason to continue to share their valuable time and expertise. In the past year(s) we have lost some established members that were the heart and soul of this forum... that helped make it a home away from home... and were a wealth of knowledge and very supportive.
You are referring to compare/contrast vs. "complaining"?
