You'll never see Robert Ulrich (Target CEO) or H. Lee Scott (Walmart CEO) ripping each other apart in any kind of public forum, online or off, and they are serious competitors. God damned amazing some of you even have business contacts, if you truly do. A lot of business is based on personality. I can tell you right now, there are a lot here that I would not do business with, simply because of their asinine post and behaviour.
Jesus, grow up and get over this petty shit.

As with any industry, there are intricacies that only the truly successful understand. It just so happens that one's ability to attack/defend, brag/retract, spam/promote etc. etc. in a public forum are qualities of success inherent to this particular industry. This is not a politically correct industry and it never will be. If you ever doubt that, refer to the header of this site.
For example, it would be completely acceptable for me to reply to your post with:

who the fuck are you to come onto this board and question how we conduct business?

Now if I were an account rep and afraid of losing my job because I didn't know dick about how the industry worked, I'd most likely reply with:

I agree! It's a shame that more webmasters don't communicate more like we did at my last job at Walmart! Hey you mentioned Walmart in your post! Let's be friends. Our sites convert great, you should give them a try!

While this forum is very-much a business oriented forum, the reality is that a lot of us know each other very well off the board as well. A lot of business done is done not in public, or on forums, or meant for other people to see.
CreatineGuy is a good example of a complete fucking moron that will never be successful in this industry no matter how hard he tries, however. Other people you'd be really surprised if you met them in person how creative and smart they actually are compared to how big of an asshole they can play on a message board.
