Wow I am a bit shocked! I agree with Dom. This type of attitude will not help your cause.
I do not understand why you blurt out that you spend 10s of thousands of dollars for this forum membership. It kind of really puts a bad taste in my mouth hearing you say that. Almost like your unhappy with the results so far!. Not a good thing to say on your part.
I had the pleasure to meet Doug last year at the CBG event in Niagra Falls. I can tell you he is a well liked member in the community and sticks his out for his community. He also will come to the aid of an affiliate program should it be warranted.
Being the wonderful kind man that he is – you have to understand why Judy and many others will come out and protect him. He is just that nice! 
Affiliates hate when programs take advantage of them. Specifically non payment is always a concern. Yes you did pay him in he end – that’s cool.
But you cannot expect everyone to shut their mouths and not share their views. I for one trust Judy’s views with 100% trust level. She is not trying to ruin your reputation. In fact you can read many of her posts where she shares success stories of programs.
Its lnot like she is attacking you – shes just sharing her thoughts!! Whether you pay 100s of thousands of dollars – i don’t think any of us care – that is your business. What we care about is to be able to express our thoughts about programs here good our bad and have discussion without people making demands to remove our posts.
NO posts need to be removed at all!! Affiliates are not to be muzzled! Just like you can share your thoughts , so can we.
People are intelligent enough to make their own minds up, and to put so little faith in your program (by thinking this one time post will ruin your reputation)seems odd to me.
Let it go!! Breath in and out and move on.
Whether a big or small affiliate – we all deserve to be listened to. You as well – but under no circumstances should you demand a post removal – that was uncalled for.
