I couldn't careless about your preferences. You post something with speculation, then it should be expected to be pointed out the obvious flaws of such an statement.
I was using that speculation as a counter point to the person I was talking with. He had speculated that BD had dropped their quality because his friend received a toy with a bubble. I tried to talk to him, mentioning the possible reasons for that, and told him he should have his friend contact BD to get it resolved. Without that confirmation, it's hard to fault BD.
By then mentioning those two things about Zeta, I thought it would show the other side of the fence. Helping to drive my point home.
I had hoped my mention of "not raising my pitchfork" would have keyed in that I did not take these rumors to heart, and that I was not trying to bash your company.
