Names may not hurt you physically... but they could put a severe dent in your pocketbook!
Say the wrong words and some dealers/manufacturers will sue! or call your boss and complain! Even free speech doesn't cover the hassle of dealing with the garbage from the jerks who bite you if you just state: "I think, after hearing XYZ, that they are not worth the money" in a post. Some folks want to think that is libel... and are willing to harass...
If I owned this site I would be very worried about what folks start spouting too. I am certain the owner of this site enjoys it and started it out of love of all things audio. But it can and could lead to a serious lawsuite if some of the stuff fo;ks want to say was allowed.
