Francis, it couldn't have been you, you're innocent.
Adam -- it isn't just about vendors who support the site. There is a rule that vendors period should not be trashed. Many gunsmiths are single-man operations, and don't read BR Central.
Yet gossip amongst benchrest shooters spreads faster than fires in California. I don't get to that many matches -- 12-15 a year -- and you would be surprised how much talk I hear about so & so cheats (that's about other shooters), or this product or 'smith is no good... We all say shooters are great people, but...they do have some faults.
Wilbur decided, for both good and ill, there will be no trashing of someone's livelihood on this site. In times past, he has personally helped resolve situations, privately, off line.
Having said that, Wilbur also has to do all the monitoring of posts on BR Central. It is rumored that he also has a life, so sometimes a thread will stay up a while.
