Only if you ask nicely!!!
People get way too reactive on this issue. Instead of talking about the monitor or the forums or what is happening, the first resoponse is "APPLE BASHER!!!".
Come on guys! You are allowed to say whatever you want, but just try to couch it a bit better. "I have had no problems with Apple service and XXX YYY ZZZ, have they tried this?".
Try defending the system by expousing its relative merits, not by bashing its critics. This is consumerism not politics! If Apple has a product defect, they should address it directly, and work to solve it, ESPECIALLY on its high end products. It should not remove posts and other things that criticize w/o any sort of explanation. If it is a duplicate post, a link to the original and a thread lock is the humane way to do it.
I think, regardless of how they run their overall buisness model (that is NOT the point here) that they may be screwing up with allowing the PR guys a bit too much sway on the tech suport side.
I do, however, agree that this is not really a monitor review article. This is more a news article bordering no op-ed put not quite there. It should not have been in the display review section. Minor point, but whatever.
