Regarding "Roman Maroni" reason once again

[ecchi]

TOBY

am fully aware that there are cheats and scoundrels out there

Then when I infer that some LL WMs use underhand practises why do you say "That is 100% pure USDA prime bullshit."?

ecchi, You've made some rather broad assumptions and statements about LL owners as a group.

When? All I inferred was that there are some that use underhand practises.

you've insulted the integrity of some very good people

Not true, it is you who insulted their integrity by assuming that when I pointed out that "it is in their interest" that this meant they all must do it. I never said any such thing.

SURFN

I don't like people that stir shit just to make other people think they know some dark untold secrets.

I don't see that it is stirring shit to say that some webmasters are dishonest, I thought that was common knowledge. And as to knowing some "dark untold secrets", the only "secret" I told was that some LL owners use underhand methods, I doubt if there is a single webmaster or even surfer who is unaware of this !

USELESS WARRIOR

Could you please show me where I said that?

Post 103 - "Your whole argument is baseless, preposterous, and completely unfair."

Why does your apology sound like another insult to me?

I have no idea, I assume you are just trying to find fault with me to give you an excuse to continue this argument.

But your initial statements about link lists seemed to imply that it's some secret general policy to screw the submitter.

I have no problem with the majority of LLs myself, however the fact that you and Toby assume that when I say "it is in their interest to refuse to list the the more profitable sites" this means that all of them will automatically do this, kind of gives the impression that both of you have it in the back of your minds that all LL owners are crooks, otherwise why would you jump to this conclusion from an innocent comment like this ?

Who? We're not above naming names. Point them out.

When I find a site I have reason to object to I just drop it from my list, I don't keep a blacklist except in extreme circumstances. However even if I did I am above naming names.

MAD MAX

If you've got proof that some Link List or another is intentionally fucking over submitters then post it here.

(Same reply as on my last point to Useless Warrior.)

Any LL owner with their head anywhere except their ass knows that the ONLY way to succeed with the LL business plan is to find good submitters and list as many of their sites as possible, then send them as much traffic as you possibly can.

Yes, but they don't all have "their head anywhere except their ass", a few have it firmly embedded up there.

If you can't name at least 3 link lists that have caused you to have the opinion you posted earlier, you might as well be bitching about the black helicopters that fly over your house to spy on you.

I don't keep grudges, I don't keep a sad little black book of people who do me wrong, I just drop them and move on. As to "bitching about the black helicopters", the sort of paranoiac who does this IS the sort of person who keeps a grudge book. If I were that sort of person I would be able to list more that three (and be prepared to list their names in an open forum).

I understand that perhaps you didn't INTEND to say that "only a few" link lists are like that

Umm is this a typo or did you misunderstand me, because I DID intend to say that only a few link lists are like this.

the shit you're taking right now is the result of your broad generalization

I made no broad generalisation. I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here, but I think (and I apologise if I am misunderstanding this paragraph of your post) that you, like Toby and Useless Warrior, are assuming that because I say "it is in their interest to refuse to list the the more profitable sites" this means that all of them will automatically do this. As I said before, this kind of gives the impression that you have it in the back of your minds that all LL owners are crooks, otherwise why would you jump to this conclusion from an innocent comment like this ?
