Venger is an intentionally inflammatory troll with neo-nazi leanings.
Dismiss other views and call them Nazis.

I went to his blog site. More praise for them approving the recent one that was pulled to be examined. Found their review fair and reasonable. And the staff professional.

I have found his marketing persona childish but a decent amount of his actual RPG work to be interesting and really in the gonzo spirit.
 

Which to me seems much the same as companies attempting to suppress bad reviews (even if such reviews are warranted) be it by deleting them, denying service to those who post them, or even in rare cases issuing groundless legal threats and-or C&Ds; all of which makes the entire review system suspect at best and near-fraudulent at worst. It's simply corporations trying to control what people say about them, and this seems to me like more of the same.

A corporation is not a person and does not have feelings, and thus in theory cannot take offense over what someone says/writes about it unless it crosses the legal line into libel and-or defamation. We have courts for that, and due process.

It's odd that you would argue in one paragraph that a corporation is "trying to control" what people say and in the next paragraph argue that a corporation can't have its feelings hurt. In the first paragraph you treat the corporation as if it's a person and in the next you deny that its a person. Which is fine, a corporation is a ficticious person for legal convenience, but odd. I think we all know that a corporation can't really feel anything because it's not a real person just like we know it can't really do something for the same reason. But a corporation is made up of people, some of whom might take offense.
