My post here nor on my blog neither one come across as the least bit psychotic. You are just not used to having someone express their true opinion.
I knew the name John Scott sounded familiar. I remember reading something not long ago where he was catching it about his version of paid posting. And it looks like I was also right about the fact that he gets off on this controversy. So get off your high horse and stop making him sound so innocent and me the bad guy.

John Scott has launched a new service for bloggers to make money (see Contextual Links) and
he has (once again) stirred up chatter.
One thing John Scott does very, very well is stir up & create chatter 
. Kudos to him!
Although it isn’t my cup of tea here on SuperAff or on any of the blogs I run, I don’t have a problem with paid links in blog posts–as long as they’re identified as paid. John’s new service forbids it with a non-disclosure agreement:
Contextual Links @ V7N are undetectable to search engines. Whether it be by human or algorithmic filtering, our links are impossible to detect. Additionally, an enforced non-disclosure agreement prevents both publishers and advertisers from revealing participating publishers and advertisers.
I know full well why John has that in place. It comes down to:
our links are impossible to detect. I think he’s onto something. As both an advertiser and blogger, it’s an ideal situation. But for the blogger’s reputation with readers? Not so sure.
