This door swings all ways, including those that do business with them simply because what was said.

Personally, I try to play a balance game. Debate and argue a bit, and post in the need info/help business type threads. But I've gotten into with more than a few people on here, even with some clients and my largest affiliate. Even told a few people off, in not so nice ways, and oddly... people still do business with me, if business needs to be done.

If you have something I need and you're not a total fuck up, I'm going to do business with you. Anyone not willing to do the same, is willing to give up money for other peoples opinions, and that's just ridiculous. It could be a lot more than some money on the table, it could be vaults of money... never walk away from business, if the person is legit, the deal is legit, rock it and ignore what they say!
I know this is redundant, but an individuals personal beliefs are not my concern. I have no issues doing business with anyone that handles themselves in a civilized professional manner. If you are prone to flying off the handle and need to enter every debate or discussion with insults and threats,that tells me enough about the personality.

If I had no shortterm solution,it would be high on my *list of things to do* to find a new source for that service or product. Everyone is replaceable.
