Physical threats are dumb, I didn't make a direct threat, but still apologise. Don't think I've ever said anyhting like that before and think people that do are idiots. |sad|

And I also apologise if I put your words in your mouth you didn't intend.. I called it how I read it and didnt mean to do that if i have.

Neither Rocco or I would drop your links for talking shit unless you demanded it, so there is no problem from this end in that regard if you are happy ;)

Sorry for any grief I may have caused you.

I am just curious about this. Going way back, what do you make of Rocco spamming the board in response of someone complaining about getting spammed by him?

So Dave.... sticking with this "opinion" still are we?

Do I really need to argue who's ethical "opinions" are worth listening to all alone.... or are you going to come back here and justify this bullshit opinion?

Start with spamming you if you like... that sounds nice and easy.. lots seems to agree with you there by looks.. tell us how Rocco spammed you..

On a side point.. is this thread even relevant to you? when was the last time some random person asked you for a link trade that you did help them out with?

You are a PUSSY "dangerous" Dave

I think Rocco made some mistakes... I think calling his post spamming the board is harsh... but i agree it looks dumb.

I know how he was told to work.. and it was not "spamming"... it was over kill.... and he was really a RUDE person to deal with.


It wasnt "someone" complaining about it as well Jim..

it was: http://www.iconinternet.com.au/06jul02/Sydney.html this person.... a person who has no reason to complain about Rocco to start with... a person with no ground to stand on when complaining anyway... and a person who knew what they were doing.

Look what the asshole did to Jay the other week? OK I dont expect you kick his ass in public... but I dont believe many people.. and any fair person like you, would really not look at him and wonder why he would try and hurt a long time colleuge like that!! One who is strugllling to get a new program off the ground!! It shouldnt matter if Jays program is the shittiest piece of crap in the world ... if he isnt stealing or cheating people who else but Danger Dave would trash it knowing how it would hurt business at a crucial time?

Sorry... but I am late for appointment... very late... back later

Just one point because the only thing I know is what I have seen in this thread.

His post was the exact email he has been sending to many people, several times. So, what would you call his first post on this thread? I mean if I was harsh calling it spam, I will be the first to admit it.

No, I wouldn't call it spam as he didn't start the thread and HE was the subject. But I accept it is spam if it meets your definition by this board's standards. Whatever we call it I do agree it looks like a very weird response to AcidMax's post :D

I've since found out that Rocco thought that was a professional response.. rather than trash someone trashing him, Rocco thought it would be better to simply show others what he had to offer... he does now understand why his post looks crazy to you and I... but there was never any intent to push his product as the point of that post. Rocco has had such a different cultural upbringing to most of us here he had no idea at that time why his reply post was being ridiculed.

Anyway Jim... I didn't come here to defend Rocco, simply to try and cut this dumbass thread off asap... maybe I am an egomaniac.. but I really did expect me asking people to cut him some slack, with that explanation, might have been enough to see it die again.



Dave's ICQ works, if he really felt Rocco was such a terrible problem, surely a personal message would have been any reasonable persons first choice. Until the sexy new sig he has now, anyone would think Dave owned purpledollars.. a day or two before his obnoxious effort here I told all my people that any of their affiliate webmasters submitting a freesite hosted on the purpledollars domain get auto-approved and sorted higher in the listings than regular sites... and personally I do expect something back in return for doing that, NOT to be stabbed in the back by people owning/working for/representing the company.

And before you try and tell me "I dont see anything wrong with Dave's post"...... I woke up to one of my guys asking why the guy from purpledollars has banned us and anyone linking to us, and a couple of other people pointing out what an asshole DangerDave is... so it was obvious to a few people.. and the ridiculous number of views this thread got BEFORE I came back and posted again is pretty good evidence people could see an accident waiting to happen and wanted front row seats ;- ))

Just FYI... I messaged Dave and suggested he try and fix this thread before I posted...... and left it 24 hours... and if by some stretch of the imagination you are not aware of what is really happening here.. please talk to your partner.


Dave, I know you don't give a shit about anyone past the end of your nose... but even if you are too cowardly to come back and justify why you said Rocco was so unethical "I would never swap links with this person.... NOR with anyone that swaps links with him"........ you could try something like, "I'm Sorry Brad" , on a pretty card with some flowers |smooch|

But you should come back and explain how Rocco spammed you... promise I wont change the subject and tell anyone what a hypocritical bitch you are if you do.

You did decide to make this about who's opinion on Rocco's ethics was more worthy. The only other option I see now that Jim and Greenie look like they want to line up behind you, is answering your own questions.. ABOUT YOU. And NO ONE wants that.. (that's a lie... lots of people do... but a few people I actually care about don't. Do you care about them too Dave?)


Stop cowering behind Greenguy and Jim.. they will start to stink like you, and neither of them deserves that.

Here's a deal... just admit you really have no good reason to warn people off giving Rocco a second chance.. or even easier... give him a nice link on the index of dangerdave.com.. and I will go back to leaving you alone in that comfortable little reality you have built up all these years.

Opinions are like assholes & we let all kinds of assholes post here & RARELY do we censor anyone.

I really don't give 2 shits who trades with who, but I too have serious doubts about trading with someone who was called a spammer on the board here & replied with the same spam that he was sending out - I don't care what he thought he was doing or who he worked for or what he was told to do - that's just fucking stupid!

As far as Opti & DDave go - you 2 have some issues going on that I don't think should be done here on the board (or in public at all for that matter) so work it out on your own & not here on the board.

|buddy| Be With You

I have watched this thread for a bit ...

I have trades with Rocco on http://www.link-fabulous.com/

I am happy with the trades and more than happy with the professionalism that Rocco has conducted himself with during the process.

Thanks Opti for reminding me of that great night we had in Sydney! It is always great for us to get together like that!

This pic is my particular fave:

:) I am sure it will all work out for the good!

I've traded with rocco with every site i have and never had any problems, hes always been polite and prompt with his emails and i've always come away with (IMHO) the better end of the deal.
I'm more interested in what someone can offer my sites than their methods of attracting the trade.|knockout|

Too much bitching...
