JOhn nice try but I think the bigger question would be - if your telling me that I am driving up your post count and making you money what does that say about the other people that post here? Is there some kind of rev share when you sell or do you think of them the same way you think of me? that would be an interesting question cause I am posting crap, bringing stuff that ads no value yet your tactic is to try and get me to stop by some asinine 6th grade tactic? lol sure whatever but anyone that reads this far into the thread and posts here should be asking the question of what you truly think of them if you think so highly of my 40 posts!

But the choice to take a joke into something further could be in the hand of anyone. If I wanted to I could take offense to whatever, but I choose not to because it's much less stressful to sit back and look at all the silly or hurtful things said . I believe as long as no one is infringing upon my rights, I could care less what someone "says".

You sound like a really good person, I'm actually really sorry this whole ordeal struck a chord with you. Thanks for the lengthy response.

I understand that it was inteded as a joke, not intending to be an insult to gays. But when you have seen jokes turn into something else you realize that the jokes actually had something to do with it. You have no control over how people take or use something that is said. But if the t-shirt leads people to insult gays, that t-shirt has just had a hand in intolerance. If that t-shirt is worn by a person who hates gay people he will feel that his thoughts and feelings are condoned by the people who made the t-shirt. And gay people who look at that t-shirt will feel that not only the wearer but the company who made the t-shirt condones intolerance. It is breeding intolerance and hate already. You don't have control what people do with a homophobic joke, but amazingly you have control of never having to worry about someone using your t-shirt to promote hate in the first place. I think everyone agrees that the marketing ploy of bashing competition is in fact funny. I have seen to die for funny adverts out there bashing the hell out of competition. But you made the mistake of adding a phrase in there that promotes hate and intolerance. I wouldn't want the thought that someone out there could be bashing and laughing about gays from a t-shirt I made as a marketing ploy. I would rather them be laughing at and bashing the competition.

David E shows how good an SEO you are if you pay any attention to PR you are not worth the nut your daddy wasted on you!
WF is less than 8 months old with over 4000 members and over 100k posts - that is not bad for a niche like this!

Regular members get freebies quite often. Sometimes it's free hosting, sometimes free submission to a directory or two, and sometimes other gifts. Right now we have 50 iPods on order, to give away to v7n members.

Unfortunately, no gifts for folks with red rep.

LOL! 90% of the posts are just insults and other nonsense.

John Scott · 01-28-2007, 12:25 AM

Nobody wants to bet on how many more posts I can make seasickmedia do?

seasickmedia · 01-28-2007, 12:26 AM

damn, free hosting? I don't think you would give me a free server or 2 would you? I don't have much use for 1gig of space here or there and I tend to give away my gift certs from azoogle that I get so...

oh and directory listings? lol really, say it aint so! that is just such a great gift I could not stand not to get one. Is there anything I can do to get on your good side? If I was a fag for 1 night with you would that help?

seasickmedia · 01-28-2007, 12:27 AM

I see you are going back to the stupid stuff so I will see how many more pos....

seasickmedia · 01-28-2007, 12:27 AM

Brian · 01-28-2007, 12:28 AM

I know PR don't mean that much (it count's for something and PR4 is bad 8 months or not), I had never heard of your forum untill just now, it is the community which makes a forum and the poeple on here and DP are sound and they don't go dising other forums to get attention!
