A lot of sponsor reps would rather treat us like horny school boys than marketing professionals for two reasons: it's easier -and- many male "webmasters" act like teen boys when they see a naked girl.

I'm not an idiot -- I understand the reasoning behind marketing the new product to salespeople, but I also think it can be done in a way that doesn't make the poster come off as an immature teenager raving to his buddies about how he saw a classmate's older sister walking through the house naked.

Let's face it, she's not even bright enough to know that she doesn't have a signature nor that she didn't even link to the affiliate program within her post. Met-Art should fire her and hire me.

The fact that Loryn didn't even get that GG was joking annoys me more than her calling me an asshat. I've been called worse by better. Hell, I've been called worse by GG.
