I think it's pretty bloody disrespectful to sell things that are under par. If I buy a knife, and it turns out to be made out of sub-quality metal, I don't shut up and swallow it because I might harm the merchant's feelings. If you're going to run a business, run a business, but if you're here to stroke the egos of the merchants at the expense of consumers, then please, let people know beforehand so we can be aware that our concerns matter less than keeping Mr-30-differently-colorized-versions-of-the-same-texture happy. I don't see how it's disrespectful to keep an eye open for products that aren't as advertised or are broken - what if the merchant only finds out because of a consumer report like what /P is suggesting? I doubt seriously that he is suggesting that merchants have no say, or that they be ambushed with it. If people can criticize Daz3d or CuriousLabs on here for problems with their products, why are these individual merchants immune?
