I don't buy the conflict of interest at all. There are two other partners and Rokslide operates as a stand alone enterprise. There was an obvious conflict in marketing and editorial philosophy though. The desire for complete control of Kuiu's image vs an open and comparative dialog. Aron did not undermine kuiu with his editorial ability in any way and if he had tried the other partners would have put a stop to it. Robbie and Ryans interest and personal integrity would NOT align with attacking a paying sponsor. Rokslide is an incredible platform for competitive companies to market to a very distilled market. It is not a glossy print magazine with paid promotional reviews and a big print ad at the end or sidebar. Rokslide is an open forum on the Internet and it will be as messy as any congregation of people. There will be fanboys and there will be haters. In the end if you have an outstanding product honestly presented you will win here like nowhere else. You come to the open competition and stand then you have real credibility in the market. Kurt came here with his Stone Glacier with much trepidation that he wouldn't get a fair shake but took the chance. His products now have have a respect and credibility that I don't think he could have gotten anywhere else.

I hope there is very little deleting going forward and the philosophy of an open market of ideas is the best market and it will attract the best companies and products.

Very well said, and I agree. I do think that when a thread gets ruined and steered way off track by continual bashing of one company, it needs to be put in check.

One mans bashing is another mans valid point.

I agree, bashing is as relevant as praise, but when multiple threads turn into bash fests on the same topic, there is a point where it becomes unproductive.

Unless they're all bash Obama, that's always productive.

an opinion that is well stated and validated by field use or personal experiance is a valid point. people lobbing sh@t grenades from the cheap seats does nothing but degrade the integrity of the site and the conversation.

Members need to be accountable for what they post. Make your point and move on. No need to keep saying the same thing with 15 posts. I can guess pretty accurately what the responses of some will be just by the thread title is this productive?Must be they keep doing it.

There are indeed a couple of topics that never run out of bashing. High fence hunting , Obama , and another one I can't remember... for me at least.

Thanks for rubbing it in. Turkey season can't get here soon enough.

Some people just get a little too worked up, not sure how they survive in real life when they can't even handle an internet forum. Relax, you'll live longer.

Great advise.
