I think the thread in question deserved at least a little ragging. It was entitled "Bad impressions of X3" and yet consisted of a few cut and paste quotes from people on other forums talking about Cakewalk and Gibson as companies - none of it related to anyone's actual bad impression of X3 the product.  
 
So in my opinion it was spreading needless negativity simply by virtue of its title. If I see a post title like that then I'm immediately going to think "uh-oh, someone's had a bad experience with X3." Who wouldn't? So to open it up and find that it was nothing more than a couple of quotes about Roland, Gibson, and past versions of Sonar....well I'm not surprised it got a negative response. 

Ok, to all, I come in peace. I remember this thread. The title was completely misleading and the the person who started it posted stuff that had nothing to do with X3 or anyone's actual impressions.
 
I edited the subject line.
 
Then I took another step to check the OP and he had about 12 posts or something. I looked at his email and he made very little effort to hide his real identity. Someone we have banned here about 50 times. You probably know who it is. I believe he is also using another alias. I deleted the thread and banned at least one of his identities. 
 
The point is we don't try to be heavy handed. We can accept criticism. I am not sure what others said afterwards but the thread was removed due to the GP...I mean OP.
 
I just want to clarify this point. 
 
Please continue on with your conversation :)

Heh...

This is the icing on the CAKE...very sad Andrew...very sad...
This statement says VOLUMES about the character of you
as a Cakewalk employee, and Cakewalk in general as a company.  

I think it's time to move on...to my friends I bid you a civil adieu...
because, based on this...I'm banning myself from the forum...
and from Cakewalk....you will greatly be missed.  I cannot, in 
good conscience, continue to support a Company that behaves
like this, and it saddens me greatly.

I'm a bit baffled by this response.
 
I have absolutely no problem with Andrew's actions in this matter.

I must be missing something. Given his explanation, I don't see what Andrew did wrong here. Oh well, mind the door doesn't bang your arse on the way out.

As the senior moderator for another popular forum, I can say that this is very normal behavior.  It still IS their forum.  It's like playing for the Yankees baseball team and complaining when they require you to be clean shaven...
 
So I wouldn't let it get to you Larry.  Heck, I think that's pretty nice that the mods actually come in here once in a while and explain things - they aren't being paid to do that you know.

 
I may be wrong, but maybe Larry just took a quick glance and thought Andrew's post was referring to this thread?
 
 

Could be.
