Why should someone show respect for someone on a message board? I fail to grasp this comment. It's a message board correct?

Do you respect the bum walking down the street just because he happens to be on your street and you encounter him? This is a message board. Nothing else. Why should someone respect a person they've never met beyond posting on a board.

If this is your threshold for respect, I feel sorry for you. Post count or popularity on message boards doesn't fit in a determining factor for respect.

You respect people because they've earned it. This rep seems to have adopted the ibill manual for customer support.

Arrogant affiliate reps should never be hired. They aren't working as affiliate reps because of their knowledge or success. They're doing so because they can't succeed on their own in this business and need a job. Much like the drive through worker at mcdonalds, they should understand their job is to keep the customer (in this case) the affiliate happy and serve their needs.

A company looking for growth would fire this chris person. Why should someone with traffic send it to a company that has people like this representing them.

This frank guy whines but that's the job of an affiliate rep to deal with it professionally. Why should someone who can't or is unwilling to do their job in a professional manner be defended?

This industry boggles me at times. When representatives of programs imply physical threats against a current, former, or potential affiliate, there is no justification for that behavior and the said employee should be terminated asap.
