Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?

I have mostly been taking part of this forum occasionally, and from a distance if you will.  I have to admit I don't really know the kind of things that can go on, disputes or disagreements that can occur.  I have occasionally done searches in this forum using the search function to only come upon a thread that has been removed, oddly enough.

I have seen some discussions, and taken part in some others that become somewhat of a debate on certain brands, and they have become critical in some instances.  Usually fans of the brand in question rush to the defence, and from what I've seen, a healthy discourse occurs, with back and forth and occasional posts removed.  I'm thinking of smaller internet direct manufacturers such as your Emotivas, Schiit Audio, Ascend Acoustics and the like.

What I'm wondering is, have such companies had negative discussions stopped or removed?  Has anyone been part of similar discussions in which moderators suddenly step in and either lock or completely remove a discussion?

The important point is that it took the posting of the thread and all the comments to spur them into action.  Otherwise...….

Tekton, as is often the case with criticized manufacturers, missed a great opportunity to reply to the OP with a reasonable confession that they lost an order or somehow accidentally bungled the thing. An apology! How innovative! That would have gone a long way to assuage the critics, and maybe a few reputation bonus points toward the company could have been salvaged from that. As it was, Tekton lost some credibility for sure. Also, Elizabeth, what are the black goo, magic paper, and Green threads? I need to see those!

It in't at all clear that the poster's complaint was valid. Perhaps that's why the OP deleted the thread. Perhaps that's why Tekton didn't apologize.

@wolf_garcia , @cleeds ,

There are always two sides to a story. But, in the Tekton case, the owner never articulated why the OP was incorrect nor why it would take this long to make the pair of speakers-despite his changing the original order.

There's no reason to doubt the OP's veracity, however, Tekton has been building a certain reputation characteristic of the sort of complaint the OP levied. 

I'd probably want a thread removed too if some ranting fool like me went on like I did, but I think my point was proven when Eric tried to impeach the honesty of his customer, then threatened to get legal on people. Imperfect management decisions indeed, I'd say, and so would many others given how the tide turned.
