Bashing, flaming and generally rounding on any form of life deemed inferior has been an endemic problem on the Internet since the beginning. You just get used to it and use the 'delete' key or filters as appropriate. It's like graffiti -- its not nice to look at, you don't want it but it appears anyway so the best you can do is make with the paint brush.
I'm very appreciative of the vendors. I actually think they're crazy to try and make a living out of this hobby. Think about it. They're selling specialist, fairly low cost, low profit items from an uncertain supply chain to a customer base that's both inconsistent and fairly picky. They have to either love what they're doing or they're masochists. Maybe both. It doesn't surprise me that sometimes things are out of stock, orders get lost and information is inaccurate or out of date. It does surprise me that so much works and orders usually turn up exactly as expected. This list is supposed to be the information exchange and place to look for ideas. So -- some ideas, please. I want to get a new open class sailplane to replace a venerable Alcyone which has seen one repair too many. There's a lot of choices. I don't need the ultimate contest winner, just someting that's fairly light, fairly strong and not too expensive. The most popular contest plane round here is the Addiction.
