So, the above referenced thread has been moderated with the deletion of at least 5 comments (one of them mine-completely innocuous in my opinion-only pointed out the apparent temporary ban of the OP). The following post was made by a moderator:
How in the hell can the person who most likely did the sanitization of the thread say "all other conjecture or conspiracy theories are off topic" The comments deleted specifically shape the topic to favor a poster who has a financial interest in Uniden's continued success, as more sales will, in theory, also lead to more sales for him. Obviously RR has a lucrative contract with Uniden that Uniden's failure to warranty repair the OPs radio could make them appear in a bad light, and obviously they can't have that. It also completely emasculates the original poster, who appears to be on a temporary posting ban and cannot defend his position. If there isn't a conspiracy, transparency would be their friend.
