Feel free to keep that middle finger to yourself, that's just plain rude. Why can't there be a discussion about Neve or Vintech around here without it degenerating into a free for all?
I did a quick search to see exactly what you are talking about, typing in "2-610" and my screen name "NathanEldred".
1) The last time I even mentioned the 2-610 on GS was about 14 months ago, so either there hasn't been a thread about a 2-610 since Summer of 2004 or you are exaggerating.
2) Never said it sounded like "ass" once, just that it wasn't my preference (and also specifically encouraged others to hear it to make up their own mind). I don't even think a Mackie sounds like "ass", it's just average at best. If something sounds like "ass" it's either user error or the unit is broken, or the source is bad.
3) Always was professional and gave specific constructive criticism.
Mainly my problems deal with the lack of headroom and how fast it breaks up at high gains. Those are legitamite concerns.
A thread with an example of what I said:

4) I've heard the rest of the UA line, said I liked the La2a quite a lot, admitted I hadn't heard the 2108 at the time and felt the 1176 was decent but prefer other things a bit over it.
5) I also had about 5 x 2-610 units in my posession, so it wasn't a one off judgement, it was based on a larger sample of pieces.
Like I said, everybody has the right to their opinion, but maybe it's better for people to qualify it and do a little more thorough research instead of jumping the gun so quickly.
