Where to begin?

To start, I am not affiliated with CS so I am not schilling on behalf of them or anyone else. I have purchased and continue to enjoy numerous CS products as well as examples from other companies including the one you mention. Having made that clear, and having followed your rants on this and other sites, I feel compelled to point out a couple of things.

First, your assertion that CS has somehow conspired to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes is utter nonsense. There isn't a company on earth with a marketing department worth their weight that doesn't assert that their product doesn't have some advantage over their competition. Also, for you to assume the people that frequent these forums are so blinded and deceived, is both insulting and presumptuous.

Second, I don't blame CS for removing references to other companies and/or products as it is their right. I am very active in several FSX company forums and it is a common and understandable practice. Why should a company who is trying to sell their products, go through all the effort and expense of forums and a web site to facilitate sales of someone else's product? Now I know you will no doubt point out that this is not necessarily the case at the other guy's site but this is one of the few exceptions. Most simply do not.

Third, you go on and on about how superior the othe guy's product is. Correct me if I'm wrong but it has yet to be released. How, aside from a couple of released promotional videos, on earth do you know exactly what the end product is going to be like?

Again I want to make a few things perfectly clear. I am not standing up for any company. Truth be told, I preordered the competitions product. That is my choice. I also think that the moderators of this forum have been quite lenient with regards to you voicing your opinions. But for the love of all that's holy, move on. You've more than made your feelings known. Any more just diminishes your message and makes you look like a nut job.
