I don't know how you can't see this. I know you don't stand for liars. In fact, I know you hate them.

MetaformX lied to build his business. That is WRONG.

Rich and Lenny may have been the ones starting threads, but I know for a fact that many people were talking about the situation "behind the scenes". When somebody lies about money, sales, AND business... it is a BIG DEAL.
It does not take a scientist to see what metaformX was doing was publicity.
I saw it as a publicity stunt anyways.
No one comes out with 200 signups per day standing on a single Anal site the first week anyone with half a brain knows that.
No one drops to a 50/50 and states that it is for the benefit of affiliates.
Totally different perspective, maybe some of ya folks missed the joke.

Lenny and Rich made it way uglier than it was. They saw an opportunity and beat em like a baby seal.
Metaformx maybe lied to potential affiliates but not exhisting ones.
Metaformx didnt attack programs to gain a spotlight, he had his own thing even if it was self destructive it's completely bad form for other affiliate program operator's to talk mad shit and spam there wares in the midst of it all.
There position and tactics stepped over some boundaries in fairness IMHO.
