I dunno.. I think that was more personal attacks (and some completely off the scale) between members than anything else... or maybe that was what I remember more, because it was shocking, even to me 
Yes, those exchanges were not only shocking examples of bad behaviour, they took place on a platform (PCC "forum") provided by geobra, which I think shows terrible disdain, like being invited to someone else's house (remember that?) and having a stand-up shouting row with another guest about the host's choice of wallpaper.
But I remember thinking other posts were frankly rude about some company policies or actions, like talking loudly about your host's behaviour when they were a child. I cannot quote specific examples, sorry to say.
Like Lego, Geobra do want adults to buy their products (TV and Film-based themes aimed at people old enough to remember them- such as Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Scooby Doo, or themes popular when those adults were children- such as cowboys and indians clearly show this), but it is clear they don't want to hear from adults who clamour for specific themes or sets, unless those themes and sets have a wider market. Put another way, collectors are like members of the audience at a gig rather than guests at a party- their paying attendance
en masse is appreciated but their opinions on the programme are unwanted.
Like you, tahra, I am still not over the axing of the PCC. However, I think the hosts have been put off inviting guests into their home again.
