Actually I'm expressing an opinion.
I didn't intend to stir up any bad feelings. I hadn't really paid attention to who said what. I saw people making jokes about the guy being a crook and I didn't feel like that belongs in a forum like this. So far he hasn't done anything very wrong in this situation.
It was beginning to sound like a one sided flame war and my hope was to inject a little calmness. Obviously I didn't succeed.

Good e-reader are known crooks, what makes you think they have to do anything wrong this time to prove it?
In fact, that is an extraordinarily silly position, IMHO -- you're saying we can't suggest this is a scam until
after they walk off with the money.
You don't want to hear Good e-reader being "flamed" on, you don't have to listen to it.
Or you can chip in on the other side, play Devil's Advocate.
But I expect you to do better than "just because they were crooks before, doesn't mean they still are".
Expressing your opinion is perfectly alright. But if your opinion is that others shouldn't be expressing their opinion, then you've moved beyond that...
