GFY serves an essential service though... it reveals people for their professionalism, or lack thereof, and thus helps determine if you''d ever want to do business with them, or the program they represent ;)
I can say without hesitation that the lack of professionalism shown by some reps on this board has made us avoid working with them. Similarly, I know some program managers who have rejected, or outright deleted, an affiliate's application based on the way they act on the board(s).

agree with all of that.
i can take an insult. i can ignore trolls. but it does get tiring when threads are full of language that wouldn't be tolerated in any corporate office (much less a boardroom). and that's the problem with gfy. i don't go to gfy daily. i visit maybe once a week to scan for business-related threads. i do go to xbiz daily and participate because the majority of members (90%+) are people in the biz that are actually working and making money.
a lot of what beaner/judo said is absolutely true. if you are unliked at xbiz, you will be bounced. but look at the behavior that leads to it? beaner, you had a total meltdown that was the end result of weeks of back and forth arguing with the 3 guys you mentioned. the 4 of you slung personal and slanderous insults at each other day after day, in multiple threads, often just repeating the same bs over and over.
what was the point of it? you don't like each other. so what? i don't like a lot of people. am i going to waste hours and days of my time arguing with them? hell no. i have a grand in billable time to get through every day.
all this fighting and back and forth bs is just not worth it. as robwod said, the only thing the fighting achieved is making you guys (all 4) look bad and lose current and future business. what is more important than that? why be online at all if you aren't making money? if i didn't need to hustle every day i'd shut my Internet off and sit on my porch watching the bamboo grow all day..
