You really hate your members that much?
Some of us old timers at Yahoo! were around long before the "moderators" that sensor any perceived thought or comment without credit for the state of public discourse these days.
I doubt any or many have ever carried a US flag marching in formation or lugged a box of munitions in battle.
This is the respect you get these days. Just shut up, tow the line. Never question "authority" or the proprietors right to serve who they will .. or won't, for petty reasons even, for a few simple words that go over the tops of those who should know and been taught better.
Some dare call it censorship... when it is a form of societal tyranny.
You seek to sell a product but fail to respond when the quality is lacking. Maybe the next owner will do better.
But I doubt it, sadly you are a harbinger of things to come and already here.

I don't like to bite the hand that feeds me.. but sometimes, ya need to just stick it out there and hope for the best... but that doesn't mean you should just accept the worst either.
