I don't remember any "official" objections and, in fact, was beat up (verbably) by other posters for even objecting to them myself.

I think we all have very strong opinions on the subject, even company reps.
Oh, I agree - and I think the forum is richer for the people who love (or hate!) their devices! I don't mind RobertB talking about how much he loves the Astak readers (particularly on a personal, rather than professional level) - I just don't want balance distorted. I think the one thing that he needed to be more careful of is any potentially denigrating talk of competitor devices - just as a mark of professionalism.

As strictly consumers, most of us have a bit more freedom on that front - as long as we're bashing devices and not their owners
