RE: Threads closed to easily?
I think that for a business, KittyCatS has been remarkably open about what they will allow on their forum. They run it - and I'm glad - as a sponsored hobbyist/fan forum with all the highs and lows and enthusiasms. Some threads have remained open longer than I expected. In this case, I was surprised that it was shut down sooner because of the past history, but then, perhaps it was a decision from within that indeed they had let those others go on rather long before intervening.
I'd like to point out that far from it being impossible to have a civil discussion on the issues of pricing, loss-leaders, and undercutting in an industry, in the Real World this is done every day in newspapers, economist magazines, and websites. It simply requires that people push their emotions to the side and focus on the analysis of the facts and dynamics. It can be done.
It is done.
Over and over again.
Successfully.
This does not mean of course that parties from different demographics (KittyCats hobbyists versus KittyCats business people and every shade in between) will come to an agreement about the future. But meaningful discussion Can Be Had without drama.
