Doesn't matter if it is a vendor or another member. You can't be hateful, vulgar, or threatening. Respect each other. Perhaps it depends on your definition of bashing. Keep it factual.

You appear to have done so, but I would remind others to give the vendor a chance to resolve the issue first. And if it degenerates into two very different stories from a poster and a vendor it usually stops being constructive.

There is a vendor forum here for this discussion as well
