And it wasn't a troll post. I was wanting input from other affiliates. I only discovered allt he new stuff because I started researching it after a mpa3 program suddenly collapsed on me in conversions and rebills. I knew vaguely of the incident in the past but I saw some new things this time around after researching.
Garry popped in and basically accused me of being a troll or part of a conspiracy. I stated some opinions (such as never seeing a real apology over the incident and all their comments about the incident being PR doublespeak) and asked them to post where they had made a single honest apology in the past or where they honestly explained the incident. They then posted some old AVN article where they didn't really apologize and made a claim that basically the shaving features were to "help fight affiliate fraud". I then replied asking them to explain how the "shave all webmasters" and "shave individual webmasters" features were to help prevent "affiliate fraud" but I don't recall them ever replying again to the topic.
My original intent wasn't to start shit with mansion. In fact if they would have posted an honest apology and explanation at any time or linked to one in the past I probably would have left the whole thing alone. The thing is I think the owner of Mansion Productions is too proud to sincerely apologize and too "slick" to think he should have to honestly explain things without the PR speak or double talk. To be honest this bugs me much more than the original incident itself. Anyway I think I learned enough of what I needed to know AND THEN SOME.
