Everyone that has tried to sell something know's that unless you shove the details in someone's face there will be a few that just won't see it and will have to ask.
Whoa. Maybe you should have PM'd all the forum members instead of insulting their intellegence in public. :shrugs: Are you really suggesting that the majority of forum members are not bright enough to be able to figure out your website is without it being shoved in their face?
See, I can read between lines too. And we can all be thin skinned and cry foul.
I refuse to respond in your sales thread, because I do truely feel I shouldn't have posted there and now I won't, not even to defend myself. However, your last posts left some things to be addressed.

I am not afraid of conflicting opinions, just there is an appropriate way to present them. Not via controversy/slander!!
Slander would involve an accusation. No accusation was made. You were suprised by negativity and I just gave my opinion on my perception of the post at first glace.

I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO START A DEBATE BY PLACING MY WEB ADDY IN A PICTURES THREAD.
Debate? What are you talking about? There was no debate. I gave my opinion and never stated it as fact. It was my opinion and my opinion only. What is there to debate?

If Carol really didn't mean to turn all eye's to my ethic's then she should have private messaged me about her thoughts.
I didn't mean to turn all eye's to your ethics, or I would have said so. There was no "everyone look at this and throw tomatoes", I tried to stress in my comments that my feelings were only on how things appeared. I guess it's kind of a compliment that you think I am so influential, but I assure you I am not. Again, I respect the forum members intelligence to be able to read what they want and form their own opinion. I've said it before and I'll say it again, no one is going to make up their mind on your reputation based on what I say. And to be clear, I never attacked your reputation. I was just calling "tacky post", and it got blown WAY out of proportion.
Since it was taken so terribly wrong by one person, I'll explain for others my intentions in case someone else has gotten the wrong drift. Geoff was surprised at negativity and said he was just trying to get more hits to his site. I left constructive criticism on how to be even better at getting hits to his site. When I originally read the Photo Gallery thread with his website in all caps in the title, it turned me off to checking out the website. It could be my personality, but I recognized early that something was being thrown in my face and I resented the insult to my intelligence. I don't like things shoved in my face, and when they are, I take a big step back. This is just my opinion, and it may be the opinion of others, it might not be. However, when he wanted to know why some people were caught off guard, I offered my thoughts on what the post
looked like to me.
Geoff has paid for advertising here, and has a right to post whatever he wants in his banners, forum, and sales posts. I do believe there is a time and a place for everything and the Photo Gallery is not a place for hype/advertising. Again, just the views of this poster and they don't necessarily reflect those of the station or it's sponsors.
It is a fact that certain people view things differently. LOL, proven several times in this thread. If one of my posts looked a little tacky to someone, I'd want to know. I'm not the kind of person that would really care if it is in public or not. If my shirt is on backwards, I'd like to know. I'd rather someone come forward and tell me (in public or private) than let me walk around all day like that because they were to shy to speak up. :shrugs: Case in point, I was just sending IM's back and forth with my husband. He was telling me about a task he was assigned that has nothing to do with his job. (Public speaking at a trade show and he's the IT guy) I typed, "Shouldn't you get a raise when assuming another position?" I'm so glad he brought to my attention the comment sounded bad so I could realize the need to be more careful about how I word things.
So now I am a Munson? I wish you would have PM'd that opinion. :grin01:
