You might not always agree with the ideas of customers, but I don't think you should censor the VO blog because you don't agree. I know some of the responses might sting a little bit, but hey that's life. I have noticed you removing posts from the blog you didn't like or agree with, thicken up your skin a little bit or maybe ask yourself this ( What would the French do?). What is the feedback you are looking for? A bunch of butt kissers, who agree with everything you say or do. Y.T.
