Make a little research about the user you are quoting and you'll find the answer...
The "numerous commenter" are 3 or 4 in a 2000+ posts thread, and not a single one could demonstrate he didn't bend the phone incidentally due to his fault. Not a single one.
You know what's disturbing, the fact that if Apple actually WOULD try and prosecute the criminals, they (Apple) would be labeled as the bad guys. Painted as trying to cover up a conspiracy, going after innocent customers trying to prove a point.

the Galaxy Note 4 may be suffering from quality control issues, where the phones large screen doesnt quite meet the edge of the body. In some photographed cases, the gap is large enough to fit in two pieces of paper, or a business card.

There are not going to be any "gate" about a Samsung product. The Note 4 was launched days ago but very few were interested....
And as for all those commentators on this site with "bent phones", I see VERY VERY few photos posted. Even that site everyone's passing around, that 9 of 10 or whatever, there are only like 15 people on there, and many of them are phones in the apple store. You'd think that site would be overloaded with people posting their pics.
I would love to see someone post up a video of an IP6 or 6+ in your pocket, walking, jumping up and down, jogging with it in your pocket, sitting standing... REAL WORLD tests, and show whether it bends. Can someone please post that? Or pass the word around for someone to do it?

iPhone 6 Bendgate Isn't Over. It's Missing A Scientific Test

IPhone teardown shows a structural reinforcement. The design flaw is an unsupported hypothesis...

sure, those are real world tests but there are hundreds of other scenarios.. if i were to try to bend a phone in a real world situation, i'd do things along the following lines--
• put phone in a smaller front pocket and bend over or sit down.. in a small pocket/female jeans combined with the larger size of the ip6, it's more likely one end of the phone will be on a thigh, the other end extends beyond the pocket and rests on the hip, then the hem(?) of the pocket will act as an opposing force.. (in essence, mimicking the three-point tests we've seen so far... though in this case, it's likely more force will be applied at the edges of the phone instead of evenly across the middle).
• put phone in front pocket then order a beer at the bar (or any similar scenario where the phone will be pressed against another object.. desk, stove, pingpong, etc..)
this type of scenario could prove to be bad if the phone is found to have a weak spot which will crease the aluminum when hit with a relatively small amount of pressure.
anyway, if phones are truly being bent in 'real world, everyday, front pocket, etc' situations then someone will find out how&why.. and i imagine you could come up with a better more-likely-to-bend situation than jumping up and down with the phone in your pocket.. it's not impossible or improbable even to generate a decent amount of force while doing mundane/everyday actions plus, as the size of the phone increases, so do the forces which will be generated.

This precaution/warning is ALSO present on the user manual of the Note 2 and Note 3. It is pretty much nonexistent in both. Stop making something out of nothing...

BGR (very Pro-Apple) has also updated their post regarding this with a comment about this being present in the Note 2/3 manual. http://bgr.com/2014/09/30/samsung-galaxy-note-4-gap/

Apple taking the ball away. Petty.
Nothing in real life? Really???
It has been shown by several people that putting this phone in your front pocket(under the right circumstances) will put stress in the middle of the phone. One example of how this is accomplished is kneeling/squatting with the phone in your front pocket: the fabric in your pants will hold the phone tightly in place while your thigh muscles push into the back of the phone causing it(in some cases) to bend. When this process is repeated the iPhone's frame will weaken. This is not a complex subject and has been explained fairly well by several people IMO.
PS. I stand by my original statement that both tests(CR and YT guy) are valid and are VERY different despite being visually similar.
Apple temper tantrum.

If this story is true (for now I'll assume it is true because who knows what's true any more), this is exactly the kind of arrogant, crybaby, temper tantrum stuff I absolutely hate about Apple. I will admit, Apple is completely within its rights to invite or not invite whomever they want to their events, but if this is how Apple deals with any negative comments they are a bunch of sniveling cry babies.
Humm let's see, if a White House reporter attending a briefing by the President of the United States was subsequently banned for writing a critical article, the screaming within the world press would be deafening. Presidents and the like have to simply "take it" and move on, but oh no, crybaby Apple bans reporting organizations that don't drink the cool aide ... it's absolutely pathetic!

It being a "feature" is taken right out of the Apple playbook. It also just may be an incorrect terminology someone used while writing this (I've seen numerous incorrect wordings and instructions for items. Some instructions don't even remotely match up the product).
Ultimately however, it is NOT a big deal because it has been on the manual for both the Note 2 and Note 3. I cannot remember seeing any complaints about some gigantic gap until recently, and that "huge" gap is relatively a small one (based on the images floating around). Remember, this product is not yet released in the states, if a gap is there, it may be fixed by the time it gets to more markets. This is a sensationalist story brought about and highly overblown because of the current issue (or possibly lack there-of) with the "bendgate." But hey, Apple fanboys and diehards will clamor at anything to make them feel better "if" there is indeed a bending issue, need to deflect the attention to something else afterall.
Go and Google the Note 2/3 manual, you will see it night and day in the "Troubleshooting" section. Only an idiot could miss it... Does this abolsutely mean it will be present? No... it means it "could" be there. Or better yet, look at the damn link I posted that contains the manual for the Note 3. I'll even re-link it for you (page 176): http://www.galaxynote3manual.com/
But I'll wait for a modified manual from the Iphone 6+ and see if they even add a disclaimer that Samsung had the courtesy of having. But I don't believe it'll happen because they currently don't have the nerve to admit of possible fault because they've screwed up numerous times prior, they have to save face and keep their "perfectionist" image.

It's even worse when they put it in the manual and call it a feature! Only an idiot could miss that.
A feature is is not necessarily a "positive" thing, can also be negative, or even neutral (informative). Not my problem you cannot understand the word, "feature"
fea·ture
ˈfēCHər
noun
1. a distinctive attribute or aspect of something.
I'll put it in terminology you can understand. Number 3 should be easy enough to understand...
1. "This gap is a necessary manufacturing component (a synonym of "feature")and some minor rocking or vibration of parts may occur."
2. "This gap is a necessary manufacturing factor (another synonym of "feature") and some minor rocking or vibration of parts may occur."
3. "This gap is a necessary manufacturing element (another synonym of "feature") and some minor rocking or vibration of parts may occur."
