Bobby Joe- None of the people you mentioned have been banned, and in fact are welcome to post here. Sphin and Rick post when they feel like it and have something to say. Pic is taking a break, and will hopefully be back when we have some real news to discuss. The only people who get banned here are the real trolls, those who persistently and repeatedly post negative comments without contributing to the discussion and who do nothing but incite.

Opinions of all types are also tolerated here, if not always warmly welcomed, as long as they are substantive. As an example, two of the posters you cited, Pic and Sphin, have very different views about this company. As you pointed out, if PQ and company would straighten out their act and provide us with more information about what is going on, much of the negativity and conflict would go away. It's sad to see posters piling on each other when their real beef is with PQ.

We need some real news about real developments.
