Especially vendors - should really be ashamed. I would advise vendors to stay completely out of the forums, only because it will farther your business if people don't see you as combative.

As a vendor, being in forums does not really affect sales. And FYI we are customers too. Also, would you not want opinions from people who make content for a living that can say what is required? Or would you just prefer comments full of fairy dust and praise? Past experience tells me that has never been beneficial to either side of the spectrum. Sometimes honesty is good and lets people know if they need to up their game. More useful than typing "oh that looks great, can't wait to add it in my cart" meanwhile they have no intentions of buying. All to be nice I suppose? That doesn't help anybody. Maybe it helps the spirit of a peaceful and happy community, but has no bearing on the business side of things, and does not help the vendor.
