Actually you have. Which is why you received the response from me you did.
While I concede your point, I simply refer back to my previous point about the ignore feature. I'll take it a step future and give you a story.
When I started here years ago, I tried to be nice and go with the flow. You know what happened? Endless bashed. When someone new comes to GFY and tries to ask questions, learn something, give input, help people, or talk from their experience and results, what happens? They are bashed relentlessly.
Over time you get people who endlessly troll you. Do not like you, your posts, your business, what you sell, how you sell it, and what not. You could do like many and simply choose not to post. That's what most big program owners have opted to do. They have gotten tired of being bashed all the time, and spending days defending themselves against fry cooks, they simply stop posting here all together..
Or.... over time you just do not give a fuck.
I still do plenty of business off the boards. Regardless of a few whiners or certain people's perceptions. I also know that most of my client base is around 7% of the people who post here. So I do not concern myself with the other 93% who are not buyers.
I am not alone in this little story above. There are many who understand it well, and I have heard it myself from program guys at shows that no longer post here. I will continue doing business on the boards as I always have. Regardless of the same couple of dozen whiners who cry/bitch/slam every thing I do, or offer.
The point I was making is, these same guys who for YEARS have been so annoyed that they make these 'Barefootsies' weekly threads, or follow me around from board to board, or troll my sales posts relentlessly should just use ignore. Those who I will never do business with, or will do business with me, should just put me on ignore instead of bitching about it.
In the real world, if you do not like someone, you can simply stop talking to them. Or ignore them and you move on with your life. A message board is no different.
