I agree with you, on this forum if you're a newbie and you say something that isn't liked by the moderators or the people who has been with this board from the beginning, your opinions mean nothing unless you suck up. Look how some other members jumped on maydays defense.
I thought dfisher comment was in a joking manner and if not big fucking deal, it happens to guy a least once in their life time. That's why i don't put reviews up, because you can't be honest about it, you have to sugar coat everything.
