About Moderating Comments

In the last few week we have received two comments on the blog as well as on Facebook that didn’t only criticize our software or business behavior but also directly insulted us as persons. While we usually never moderate comments or threads in our user forum ((/redirect.php?id=principles text: see e.g. our business principles popup: true title: Read our business principles)), I did in these cases.

This week we have received a letter from Doctors Without Frontiers that I would like to share with you as it were the software licenses you purchased in January that enabled us to help. Thank you!
