Are angry threads being deleted from the Shop Experiences topic? If so, why? I realize some people have harsh words for certain shops - but shouldn't those comments stand as a warning to others? Anything extremely aggressive, which is usually just blatant flaming, can be interpreted as such by the average reader. But this wasn't even the nature of the post in question (which was in reference to a Denver Ducati dealer).

If anything, the shop owners themselves are more than welcome to come and dispute the claims. And we have seen shops that do have accounts, and do post on the CSC board.

Of all topics, I feel Shop Experiences should be a place that allows for the most blunt language and open discussion. If not, it begs the question: what interest do the Admins have in protecting the shops? And are they receiving some incentive by doing so?
