There you have it.

The reason that the "hate" threads are out there is because there is some evidence that there were some shady advertising/marketing practices going on, and now BD has made their bed. If they didn't want the reputation they should've stayed a bit further outside the gray area of giving people incentives to talk up products on a public forum.
