Be brave, what is the point of open discussion if you are too afraid to speak your mind? If you get banned or your post removed, so be it. Why self-censor? You are doing a disservice to yourself.

The laggy UI is what irritates me the most. I do not have a smart TV, though I do have a cable box, and there is no excuse for an interface to lag in [current year], or even for anything in the past 20 years, which serves to merely display

tbh, the abhorrent behavior of VCF employees (and former employees), as well as some of the commenters on Mr. Scott's page, has proved his point in spades that VCF East is a disgusting organization.

I do respectfully disagree with you. The bump model allows chaos wherein you, the reader, must critically evaluate everything with no preconceived notions or pre-filtering. This is how you question, re-evaluate, and sharpen your knowledge
