Yes, there is some animosity going back and forth from different builders. I know as I unfortunately wind up mediating some of it. I can't stand it personally and nobody wins. I also believe that how long someone has been doing something like commercial plug building has little relevance with whether or not they "sling" barbs. These are my own observations.

Anyway, I think that the past few years have shown that those that get down in the weeds to sling barbs about the competition do little other than to hurt their own reputations.

I also believe that the more "Stand Up" people are both overtly and covertly, the more likely they are to stay out of the slinging that occurs.
