Meja - To my knowledge the only posters who were 'attacked' were those that were obvious plants. In other words maybe we were talking about the service at a restaurant and someone would say something like "The place is great - give it another try - they have excellent crab fritters deep fried to a golden brown..." This person has an affiliation with the restaurant and it is obvious.

No one should be put down for an opinion. I've posted things and then been corrected by someone with more (stated) knowledge. I would either accept the knowledge (maybe even apologize if my post was somewhat mean spirited) and then move on or just ignore the knowledge knowing that the poster has no clue.

I think that there are many reasons that lurkers exist in the web world of forums but no one should be timid because of fear of reprisal.
