I'd rather make less money, represent what I know is right, and earn longevity in this biz.

10/10 for your sentiments but I have two problems with the way you expressed them.
The first is that Lars is not a messenger, he is a representative, he is the public face of AFF and other sites. Which is why speculation about his personal position is totally irrelevant. Anyone who opposes what has been going on has enough smokescreens to deal with, without creating more.
Secondly, sometimes ethics, principles, call them what you will, do carry a cost. But this is not one of those times, so let's not hand that Lars that excuse - feeble as it is - either.
There are many webmasters who prove over and over that they have no more self respect than they have business sense. But does it really take much of either to tell someone: you work with me honestly, or I walk away.
