 That thread was the last straw for me with VI Control. I actually unfriended Mike Greene on Facebook over it. Regardless of where anyone stands on the Henson/Spitfire situation -- and Greene professes to be pro LGBTQ and very liberal -- censoring community members only to protect an advertiser is not ethical. It's not a shock, but it's not ethical. But Mancuso's takedown vendetta thread -- which also served as Greene's takedown vendetta thread -- was a toxic mixture of dishonesty, exaggeration, bullying, a disregard for civility and truth, libel, hidden agendas and bad ethics that I'm not going to forget.  I do music for enjoyment. That thread reflects the bad ethics of VI Control's owner more than anything and using his forum to attack enemies.  It makes me grateful that the worst stuff we have here is pretty small by comparison. 

I’d been an active member on VI control for a couple of years and was amazed what I was reading in ths that read. Posts were being deleted very quickly… I posted in there that I was surprised the thread was still open and people had a choice whether  to engage with 8Dio products or not.

I was subsequently banned…without warning with a message written like a child.

“You have been banned for the following reason: I hate, hate, HATE when people bump a thread with "Is this thread still open?" posts. You do realize you don't HAVE to read or post..”

No rules where broken and yet I was banned on the owners whim…
