Guy, First of all Sean Adams (the SlimDevices founder) locked that thread, not me. I was actually OOTO at the time and never even saw it until after it had been locked. Secondly, locking a thread is not censorship. It is the result of violating our forum rules. Which are clearly spelled out here... http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=269145&postcount=1. We get to set those rules, because this is our forum. Thirdly, if you cannot resist the temptation to attack other forum members, including me, than perhaps you should stop participating on this forum.
