I think people should feel free to criticize programs, and while I can't speak
for everyone, I encourage people to criticize mine, since it is easier for me to
fix a problem when I know it exists and that people care about it.

I also think that people should feel free to discuss business practices, since
it must be true that a lot of people read this group in order to make purchase
decisions, I know that I have.

This doesn't give anyone the right to try to wreck someone's reputation or
business with persistent and repetitive attacks though, we are here in part to
get away from that kind of thing.
