    Since you erased your earlier comments I decided to quote this one because now it looks like I am talking to myself. LOL. I will resume ignoring you after this but its kind of unfair to make inflammatory comments and accusations and then to go back to delete them after the person replies. A little bit sneaky and in a way unethical, no surprise there.;)

    Don't worry I am on ignore. Its just not fair for someone to make really nasty comments and they go back and delete them. Some of the sites I have been to have a modification on the edit button to avoid things like this. Trolls will visit and make nasty statements about someone and when the person replied they would go back and erase the original comment so that they were not in violation of the rules. Typical. Just wanted to snag one comment while I still had the chance. That's all.

    Huh?

    A private room might not be a bad idea.

    Sorry I didn't mean to drag anyone else into the fray. Looks like I am not the only one getting attacked. My apologies. I guess I will just have to start another thread since this one has been ruined by paranoia.

    Not paranoia, the actual question was one thing. Yes I find it unethical, but to keep up with it and not show any proof of what you say is another. Plus not to mention someone can do something unethical, figure out it was and change. Don't see the point to keep going on about it myself.

    True a person can change. That's not the case here. I just wanted to know the way the business deals with stuff like this. The Tom Cruise theatrics were started by someone else. Just want to know the ethics of this business and the thread got derailed.

    That's why I wanted to start another thread. LOL but OKAY then...

    Actually the way the thread went in my eyes was you trying to bait someone with the opening salvo of the thread and how you continued. Start a new thread if you want, I don't see why you would though as the question has been answered. Yes if it steals in anyway shape or form using content or brand name from another be it traffic or members it is unethical IMO. Next question?

    Well I guess that's the point, its not baiting to ask for different people's opinions on something. Not everyone thinks it is unethical or otherwise why would they do it?

    Its not my fault someone thinks its an OK thing to do and immediately assumes I am referring to them. So far, I see one person who has no problem with it and several others who do.

    Maybe I should have done an anonymous poll. Whatever. I guess my gut instinct was right then.

    Thanks for your input.

    It's a bit different though...when someone has heard the same thing again on another message board.

    And then their blog gets spammed with posts pointing to their threads here, and then someone magically shows up. And they get a PM from another member telling them someone else is PMing them about this.
