The difference, Shemp, is that Andy built his reputation on here long before he was involved in Guru drums. If it was a new poster aggressively marketing, it would be different. Neither was the case.
I'm sure it won't. Like I said, you're that arsehole.

I think what I did was express an opinion about something...if you don't like my opinion or the result of my comment, then you find that I am less than a good person...
If you apply some logic to that, it might put you in a rather dim light. think about it
Some one posts a thread to an entire community....
"Come check out my website and give me comments"
That's not how it was framed. He was asking for design improvements on his newly self designed website
Does that expose a product to a community? Yes
Everyone has already seen these products, there was nothing new being pushed
Is it saying "Come look at this great new product"? No
If it's not saying come look at this great new product, why the issue? It seems like a contradiction of the statement 2 lines above
For someone new here to go to that website they get exposed to a new product
Egregious or not, that is the definition of thinly veiled marketing...it's simple logic.
But you are accusing him of something that was an unavoidable consequence of his main purpose, asking for website design improvements. That's like saying when I walk on the sidewalk, I am deliberately trying to kill ants. No I am actually walking to the store. If I step on an ant along the way, it wasn't intended. Am I to be labeled an ant killer because I needed something from the store? Puh-lease.
Whether I'm here a day or 10 years does not make any difference...My opinion is just as valid and sentient as anyone elses...
I do frequently and I very rarely resort to the ad hominem. Thanks, I'm quite capable of logical reasoning and do it every day.
Hiding 'being a dick' behind being 'logical' is a nice cop out.

I guess. I don't think you will win the hearts of the people here with your actions.
So yea a sub forum so we can put this thing to bed.
It is a place for me to learn
Larry, I;m not here because I;m looking to be accepted or to be part of a popularity contest...I don;t need validation from this community.
It is a place for me to learn...
So, without caring what the community thinks of you, without regard for the value of your contributions, without regard for what you may destroy in a community, you came here simply to learn.
Taking without giving isn't being a good part of a community, in my opinion.
Thank you for your opinion....using an emotional outburst to try and offend me and telling me to go away will not alter my thinking or my behavior.
I stand by what I said...it is marketing; like it or not...and it should not continue..in my opinion
