Nosmas,
I believe what he is trying to say is that you cannot necessarily trust the board sponsors themselves - not the board, the mods or BigA. In the event that something occurs with a board sponsor, you can bet that the mods and BigA will take care of it justly, but the actions of the sponsors themselves are totally out of their hands. I think what he is saying is that it has been proven time and time again that ANYONE can turn scammer, sell fake products (whether knowingly or unknowingly), etc. regardless of the board in which they are sponsors of, so putting 100% of your trust in anyone is in a sense being naive.
With that said, I know you are just defending your 'home' and for that I give you respect.
This is a very good post and I appreciate your respect. Thank you.
*I hope that my statements do not imply that I blindly trust any particular sponsor*
