Questionable Tactics By LED Company?

What are your thoughts on this?

Mike Maddox is a case study in conflict of interest

Ecotech Marine's Radion XR30 LED Light: a Swing and a Miss? - Captive Aquatics: An Aquarium and Ecology Blog

If this is inappropriate sorry, but I felt that this was worth sharing since many use multiple resources and may use blog.captiveaquatics.com as a resource on orphek lights.

I think it's funny to read the comments but really, it's just bad business on his part...

S. Wilson @ Orphek.

Yeah he is a zealot and he isn't doing Orphek any favours talking like that. He isn't in any way affiliated with Orphek other than being a reseller. I'll pass the word onto him to be reasonable about his comments. We (Orphek) stay out of negative marketing campaigns and I have had to talk to a few hobbyists and vendors myself about this kind of mud slinging against us. I had the pleasure of talking to Tim about his new light at Macna and I hope he does well with it. The Radion is clearly designed for a different market and it stands on its own merits. I can't stop him from saying good things about Orphek, but I certainly don't want him saying overtly negative things about other vendors.

Buyorpheklights.com has already been bought by someone else. I heard mikes contract was terminated and he was forced to remove his slander. Maddox is a bigger tool than a sledgehammer IMO.

From MM's opinion piece:
Update 9-12: EcoTech's lawyer made a feeble attempt to get us to remove this post. If it weren't true, would they be worried?
