Kevin,
Explain how it is that you are allowed to post about granite issues, yet you get your panties in a wad when others do the same? If the info comes from stone sites, how can it be considered “negitave propaganda”?
Plenty of solid surface issues are spoken about here on Fabnet yet no one gets upset, why should we? Being honest and forthright means never having to worry about what you said in the past. Simple ethics.
Wood and sheetrock fabricators aren’t stupid enough to over sell their material, only stone and quartz brands have a tendency to do so.
Ethics seems to be the big divide between the granite guys and the multi material shops, selling the material honestly, warts and all. You guys can blame imports and low price hacks all you want, what is really doing you in is the lack of integrity in your marketing.
