I hate it when people I like fight.
Here's my view....
Whatever the issues were between MB and Lia are not my problem, not my business, etc.
What is my problem, as an affiliate, is the fact that I am sending traffic, (albeit minimal traffic b/c I don't have as much as I'd like, but that's really not the point), to a blank ass site. Whomever removed that content without notice just fucked me, every other affiliate, and, if Josie is paid a percentage, they even fucked her. Obviously fucking MB is a result, too, but it seems that was the goal, so I left it off the list.
There are a lot of allegations being tossed around here on both sides, but the issue that affects us outside the disagreement is the missing content, and I would have a lot more respect for the party responsible for that if they owned up and said they did it, and if they didn't think about the repercussions for people other than the MB crew, say so.
People make mistakes. I do it alllll the time, and I refuse to hold people to a higher standard than I could reach myself. It's how you handle those mistakes that define you, and that is what I think of when I consider doing business with someone. I have a sneaking suspicion that I am not alone in that.
