I'm glad I don't make my living selling anything to adult webmasters, but if I did, you can damn well be sure I would play nice on the boards, and no matter how much I disagreed with your opinion and thought you were a tool I would still show you respect, because you are a potential paying customer.

I see people on here all the time that are selling a service to adult webmasters, be it design, hosting, or an affiliate program, and then go into thread after thread and act an ass. Then they have the nerve to call themselves business people. Really? Alienating potential clients makes you a business person?

I'm not bashing on you Alien, because I don't know you, but is trying to prove whatever your point may be at the time to anyone on here making you a single dollar? You're selling a service, and there are a ton of people on here that have you exact skill set and probably charge the same price. Why alienate potential customers that might use your attitude as the reason they skip you over for another designer? I know it's easy top get baited on any forum, it happens to us all, but someone selling something has to be 10 times as careful to not let it happen to them...
