Being an asshole as a business strategy?

[Ms Naughty]

Good point - feel free to delete this thread if you like. I'm sorry if it's a problem

But I guess that's the thing... if people like me get pissed off and make threads about him, yes it draws attention to his company.

But is the net effect worth it? Before yesterday, I didn't know about him, or his company. Now I know he's a cheating asshole. A thread denouncing the guy may result in people going to look at the program's webpage, but how many are stupid enough to start promoting him?

Is it better to just shut up and let others get sucked in, or better to post threads drawing attention to what he does?

I don't know, just thinking aloud.
