I didn't see the other thread, but the general rule of thumb seems to be that you don't have to deny the existence of other brands - like in this thread - but we don't have threads to show or denigrate other brands. So, a thread like "Check out my great Les Paul" or "This is why Strats are no good" probably won't fly. Whereas this thread is "Look - guitars are blue".
But that's only my interpretation.
I made the mistake of replying to a thread like you describe, and I received an incredibly rude, overblown response from one individual in particular, and lesser cautions from a few others. I have read the posted rules, and there is no mention of other makes being taboo. I can understand keeping other makes limited, and maybe confined to the general section, but you'd have thought we were posting endorsements of genocide. And the most indignant of the bunch has an avatar that is borderline to actually violating the posted rules.
Just sayin'
