It's not about discussing the product, it's about discussing a situation, one in which none of us have any knowledge on. The appropriate place to ask about a situation at another store is at that store. I can't tell you what's going on at RDNA because I don't work there, and the people I do know that work there, I know on a superficial level. Sure, Sydd, Colm, and I are friends on facebook. That's about as close as it gets. I'm also "friends" with Zach Braff on there, and I don't have an insight to Scrubs, either.
My point is, all a speculative thread would serve is to fan flames. If you have definitive knowledge of what they're doing, we're all "eyes", but, I doubt anyone here does.
Also, on a legal level, let's say someone says something that turns out to be patently untrue and turns out to hurt someone on a professional level. We're just as liable in a libel suit (no pun intended at all) as the original poster, if not more so. Historically, the community gets out the torches and pitchforks, rather than politely discuss what's going on. Remember Mendhi? Sure, she dug her own grave, but there were dozens right there ready to help her out. That's not fair to anyone.
This place isn't a court of law, and we can't treat it that way. You're free to speculate, even post your speculations elsewhere, but, out of fairness to the staff over at RDNA, who are working right now to get through the situation (which rarely takes less than a week, if done properly and fairly), and to cover ourselves legally, we're not going to allow speculative posts on what's going on over there.
Feel free to post reviews about products. Ask questions about products. From any store. We're not trying to say you can't have an opinion. But, let's let RDNA work this one out for themselves, shall we?
