I have read the postings on this topic with some dismay and feel the time has come for common sense to prevail, so I'll not add any comments to those already made.
I will however add a few comments of my own to sum up the situation as I se it.
1) One of the forums published some over the top criticism of Bachmann. --- It doesn't matter which forum, it could have happened on any one of the three. We all make mistakes / miss something vital from time to time, so nobody should say "it couldn't happen to us".
2) Somebody went "over the top" and let their comments become libellous. --- I suppose there are idiots in all walks of life, but just because you are typing away at your keyboard in your own environment doesn't mean the rest of us should have to suffer when you hit "send" before letting your brain send the "engage common sense" command.
3) Some posters are Blaming Bachmann for being over sensitive, some are saying less than complimentary things about other forums. --- So far nobody has really ripped into the real culprits, the originator/originators of the offending posts, so allow me. If you are a member of this forum, get the F*** out of here, we don't need you. If not allow me to give you some advice, DON'T JOIN, WE DON'T WANT YOU. To our members, may I say "don't blame the messenger", there is a place for all 3 forums and each bring a different and valid approach to the hobby.
Finally to Bachmann --- Please be aware that 99.9% of us are supporters of the ongoing improvements you are making to our models. Please be aware that 99.9% of us point out inaccuracies only because we want to help make your models as close to perfect as they can be. Please be aware that 99.999% of us have no desire to upset you in any way and would rather like to continue knowing about your new releases.
So please could you get over your strop as soon as possible and start talking again to the people who are your friends ( and customers ). In other words, WE'LL TRY TO PLAY IN A FAIR MANNER, IF YOU'LL PROMISE NOT TO TAKE YOUR BALL HOME.
