DISQUS

Yes, congrats Scott. This thing has caught fire, can't wait to see it grow to 200k.

Ok, 8 + 4 is, mmm, 8 (counting on figers) 9,10,11,12.

Yes, twelve, right? Let's find out! Clicking submit.

Awesome! In fact, there's now proof of the awesome-nicity.

hehe, yep, i got it wrong, sorry.

It's confirmed Scott, you have too much time on your hands :)

All that time spent to stop the one spam that gets through, you must really hate spam! :)

Oh, and I can't add, make sure the numbers stay below twenty or I'll have to pull my calc out.

We have a date with scotch or martinis Scott. Remember, the winner buys...

C'mon Scott, you make it sound like being a design snob is a bad thing! You and me are gonna throw down martinis at the summit and see who's left standing!

Yeah, I'm loopy, having just spent the last two days driving to a funeral and back, with family and 4 kids under 5. Um, who am I? Seriously, can someone help me? 1200 emails in 36 hours?

Where's the scotch?

Did not see first post with rules. By all means, take us off the list if we didn't meet those guidelines.

Cough...ahem... can we get on that list? :o

See, that's the thing trust, you think you're helping people out, or the industry, but you're not, you never have. You make noise and waste time, that is your legacy.

I didn't take my own advice and fed you like I said nobody shouldn't, so here I am spending time worrying about you when I know it's pointless, utterly.

You can have the last word here or anywhere else, this will be the very last time I fail in my ability to ignore you. You are hereby banned from my comments on any blog I publish (not revenews overall), just my blogs, whevever they may be. Any comments you leave will be removed. It's the only way to keep my promise to myself.

The offer for drinks still stands, but no more talking to you online.

Trust, I'll speak for myself here only when I say the people that you call out, including me, have done 1,000 times more for this industry then you ever have. More vocal, owned businesses, put themselves out there for public scrutiny, everything. You have done what?

When you actually do something more than being a web board loudmouth, you can talk, until then, it's just noise. Maybe I'm wrong, and you have done something?

I don't believe I'm being unprofessional, or snobbish, when I say that because it's the truth from my gut. Anyone who knows me personally knows I'm loyal and I don't hold punches. If you prove me wrong I'll apologize to you.

But if you want my respect, you can earn it. I've earned mine in this business a long time ago through integrity and fair play and helping the industry grow in my own ways.

One day I'd like to meet in person and have a few drinks and just have a good conversation. In the end I believe we're all about the same thing, these online comment things are just losing that translation.

Ahh, the ABW inevitable reference to "clinch" the argument.

I'm unprofessional and I love it!!!!

#1: Don't feed the trolls, especially during xmas time.

#2: Everyone linkbaits, it's when you bait with boring content that you get in trouble. This is good stocking stuffer here.

#3: The conversation needs to be happening outside our little circle in my opinion, with the rest of the online marketing community. I can't figure out if it's us keeping them out by the way we act, or them staying away because we're misunderstood. Either way, we have to find a way to get them in, because continuing the discussion in our own ranks I don't think is going to get the brand of affiliate marketing any points... but many tell me they don't give a poop about what others think. Maybe that's the right attitude, however, in my experience when you want to grow you need to expand your circle of influence and understanding.

FYI, I will NEVER visit this blog again until you remove the extremely frightening image of the giant bird-man thing in your header. I will have nightmares for weeks now, thank you, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Scott, it's an honor to be there with you. Beth too.

I say, the winner buys drinks!

OMG, Shumly, he's right, you are General ZOD!

Kneel to Shumly! Too darn funny.

Jeff, what's important to me, personally, is fairness and integrity, and being upfront and honorable.

I do apologize to Sam for bringing what I found to his blog. It just shocked me. There's poking fun, then there's over the line mean. Again, sorry Sam.

And no, I'm not going to call it out here. People can do their own investigation if they wish. Personally, I'm dissapointed, but make your own decision.

Wow, got curious, did a reverse IP lookup at domaintools.com on affiliate2dot0.com. Found something pretty lame and petty.

Dude, that's over the line.

Thanks for the rub Sam. I asked that question over there because it needed to be asked. Check the comments so far. The first person didn't get that we even had a brand, and the second one thinks affiliate marketing is all about companies like iwon.com.

What does that tell you? I fear that the rabbit hole may get deeper and darker as we probe outside of our industry more.

Sometimes I think you are simply misunderstood Jeff, but then you bring me back to my senses and all of those thoughts wash away into thin air like a fart in the wind. Phhhttt.

I'll take butterflies and lollipops over a pink shirt reality any day my friend. :o

Have you bought the parrot for your shoulder yet?

Congrats Scott, and Wayne is right. I have two under 5.

We're a crazy bunch Duncan. Let me ask you though, do you have kids?
