Two possible reasons, as I see it:

It is a new and misleading (troll) ID.

Of course, there is no significant verification on user IDs, and no charge for them.

The problem for DPR is that these (trollish) posts and subsequent response too, perhaps, may injure the sales of Sigma (and other) products through this site and the purpose of these forums is to provide useful information *to potential buyers* who visit and use this site for purchase. This is not a free-for-all, it is a managed by-product of an intention to assist in a commercial venture. Trolls are a PITA in that regard. They cannot benefit the sales effort.

Hence we have moderation.

What is the message we are sending out? What if some of the folks who responded so harshly are wrong? What are we, Richard...? A heard of legal Kangaroos? How about we simply apply Occam's Razor to this? Some things are what appear to be - at least until they can be proven otherwise.
