So why was my post deleted, No abusive words were used. >ONLY AN OPINION WAS EXPRESSED. I think making the statement is okay, as long as you back it up with some hard facts when making a statement like that. You cannot just want to rip into something without cause, other than your opinion. Opinions are great, as long as they are fully back up with some evidence to match your statement.

What I wrote is an opinion which is not wanted here, nor is there anything to back up my statement, other than opinion.
