JRW,

Truth be know, BW bashing is as much a result of the elitism of BW owners and their own bashing of any other manufacturer' s bow as it is people bashing BW just for grins. I have seen many a thread where a person asks about a particular type of bow and someone will post, trash it and then tack on " get a real bow, but a BW."

And yes, is is a wise marketing scheme on Ken' s part, but frankly I think it has very little to do with BW bashing. He may be limiting participation to avoid confrontations on his forum, but I think the purpose of his forum is pure and simply SALES.

People talking about BWs on forums are a positive for Ken whether the comments are perceived to be positive or negative. He gets much more marketing in the threads than anyone, other than maybe OL since he brought out the ACS. I just think it is comical to read some of the comments by the BW owners.

They can dish it out, but they can' t take it when it is thrown back at them. And now they are about to turn their shorts yellow because they have an elite place where they can go and talk by themselves. I have gone in a couple of times and looked at the forum. It is rather vanilla and I predict it won' t last very long.
