Hey, just like the good old days !
or
Why I oughtta...
Posters signing up at Go2Net for the specific reason of attacking on the Welcome Thread is an attack, clearly. That is the attack I was referring to.
When posters like Cheeky and Josef and yourself speak about an issue as clearly as you have about this one, it is not a "few" posters, it is many. You don't consider this when you count your "few" posters, I do. For each post saying that "Henry, that is exactly how I feel" there are hundreds who silently concur, SI knows this.
You and your fellow protesters are not right, you just think you are right. What apologies have you seen from SI or for SI. We were never promised no ads, and if I see a banner pop up I better be able to turn it off.
Perhaps you better reassess what bombardment is. I fail to see your point. A part of the page is bombarding you because it is there ? It isn't a Banner, any Link Exchange member would laugh you out of the room for suggesting it was. If you look at this thread, #Subject-8301 you can see a link for Carlson On-line, you see it every time you read the thread. Where is your troubled reaction to that bombardment.
One of the things that bothers me is "Quisling". Anyone who disagrees with you on this is a Quisling ? I honestly think, "What do I want for nothing, my money back." and I feel entirely justified in thinking that. So now, they add a link to a sister company and change the color of a portion of the main screen. I am supposed to flip ? If I don't flip, I am a Quisling? You got me there Henry.
Most of my SI is incoming. I read a lot. The contribution that I receive from the community is overwhelming. I won't say you are right or wrong on the community issue Henry, I will say that I could choose to go either way with an issue like this, any poster could, the operative word is choose. It is not fair to suggest that people not siding with "GREEN SPAM SUX" are Quislings.
Like I said, I read SI a lot, it is small, it does blend, it is built in, if it wasn't I would ask "What is EFFING going on ?", it may not matter to you, it does to me.
I think i'm gonna put my visor down, maybe tighten my greaves <g> |
