No in all seriousness I like Lars as a person and really enjoy our conversations when we meet up at shows. I just think Lars has been strung up as a crucifixition in this industry and it's sad to see... Aff has thrown so many parties, sponsored so many functions and threw what 2 Playboy Mansion Parties and gave away a fucking ferrari?? LOL!
I think there are much worse people in the industry that should be up on the gfy martyr slab than Lars. Lars in my opinion is one of the GOOD guys in the industry, fuck I could name alot worse that do nothing but rape and pillage our industry.

The reason Lars gets "crucified" so to speak is because he constantly puts himself on a pedestal, brags about revenue and being the number one affiliate program and claims to be an industry leader. If you're going to play the role of leader, your followers expect you to lead. If you set a shitty example, you're going to be martyred.
The same thing would happen to anyone in a high profile position in this industry who engaged in shady or thieving tactics. People would attack Lensman constantly is Adult.com admittedly used spyware to steal signups. Look at how many people still slag 12clicks. Hell, you've been targeted yourself for accepting to propagate installers.
What makes things worse in Lars' case is that he came out and admitted what he was doing. He literally said that he was using spyware and that his use of spyware stole traffic and signups for affiliates. People aren't too impressed when you brazenly admit to screwing them.
