"Generally our reviews are done by reading the contents of the
companies website. We strip away all the marketing fluff and we
look for untruths, poor grammar, quality of service, team talent
and capabilities, site clarity, etc. If the website leaves us with
questions, or sounds too good to be true we call the security
company being reviewed and engage them in conversation about their
capabilities and offerings."

You'll notice that the above is an exact quote and not some altered
version of what was said taken out of context by someone ("trains")
trying to sound smart.

So you take *their* contents and strip marketing fluff, but you don't like
it when somebody else does the same thing to your text?

Per the earlier re-re-posted paragraph, It seems he is saying its OK
if someone strips out the fluff from their email, as long as they
follow it up with personal communication and interaction to
re-evaluate their opinion and make a decision. Evaluating the websites
first just sounds like an easy way to filter out the LHF :-) After
all, if your sales team writes your SLA, how good a company can you
be?

You are slipping V :-p
