I understand but have mostly stayed out of it.

One question...


What if a vendor actively takes an anti freedom stance, in message or in actions?  Surely we can't be chastised for criticizing them, right?

Just a question, but do you mean it's legitimate along the lines of another company like what happened in the past with Troy?

I appreciate the point of what you're saying and this thread, but that could be applied to a lot of industry partners over the years.

I must have missed all that.  Course I'm not a fanboi of anything unless it is .gov issue.  Any .gov, BTW. Preferably from the early part of the 20th century.

I feel that I am not really progressing at work and there is little professional growth opportunities available for me there. Is it time for me to start my own business?

Same here, I've been staying out of GD for a few months   Apparently from before the specific problems, just to get away from normal knuckleheadedness around here.  Guess I didn't miss much stuff I needed to see.

Oh I'm aware. I'm wondering if its okay to talk shit to them, because I saw it happen a few days ago, and IMO they kind of deserve it.

Obviously we'd like to keep shittalking to/about anyone to a minimum, but I think I know who you are talking about and that isn't the kind of situation that this rule is intended to address. IMO, legitimate criticism about a company, its products or work, or its business practices should be fine. If they stole from you, fucked up your gun, left you hanging for months, or whatever, you can put it out there without having to worry about anything. If you don't like their owner or don't like them because they are competitors to your favorite company, you'll be better off posting about that on Facebook or something.

Of course. They aren't competitors to any of my favorite companies, I just think the way they handled a particular dispute was shitty, but I think it attracted enough attention that most people who would do business with them would know. I do think they are on the edge of advertising without being an industry partner though.

Arfcom has always been fair when talking about a legitimate grievance though, IME.

Any further attempt to stir up trouble with or between our membership, over vendors, their products, whatever, will result in the loss of your posting privileges.

We don't care who started it, who makes better stuff, who's poop you like more, it ends now. If we think you're trying to cause a problem, your account will be locked. So if you want to try and be cute, and we mis-read it; too bad, too sad, your account is going to be locked. So knock it off, and get back to worrying about protecting our rights.
