even if he did have something negative to say, so what. not everyone has to agree on everything. tbh, some of the best conversation i've had on forums had to do with people and subjects that people didn't agree on. if i were some lurker browsing this thread and saw nothing but love going out to topboxer and bill, and saw a picture with shitty qc issues on it and not a single person mentioned it, i would dismiss beaulieu and topboxer as brands altogether, and never purchase from them, because it would look like everyone is a shill for the product.
if the goal is to project their brand as being top flight, posting pictures with such obvious flaws on it doesn't expose the brand as top flight.
as a consumer, i read all of the reviews, even the bad ones. when i read a bad review i do not automatically dismiss a product, but i will be more cautious before entering into a purchase.
