All I did was post links. Please show me one example where I talked shit and told a Twistys affiliate to F off.
We work day and night for our surfers and affiliates. There are not many other companies that care like us that I can 100% guarantee. That is why I'm sitting here debating and replying to posts. Most other companies would have said f-off newbie or ignored the negative comments. Instead I'm replying and with every reply working to understand the mindset of those that disagree.
Through all of this we've already developed a number of potential solutions to what I feel is a problem (abuse of promo content use) and none of the solutions involve us telling anybody to F off.

If you don't see how you saying "i wouldnt lose sleep if I lost 2% of my sales" telling babeblogs to fuck off, then I'm just at a loss for words. That's definetly not "tuned in customer service".
I'm not going to continue this discourse, I don't feel like arguing point and counter point on the same topic all night long. I feel how you handled this situation was uncalled for and wrong. You say you contact your affiliates 1 on 1 but you didnt do that here.
Anyway... you have every right to do what you want, it's your content, you could cancel accounts posting more than 1 pic in galleries for all I care. Just try to be a bit more tasteful and tactful from now on.
Babe blogs drive sales. It may be a fact that you and a lot of people in the industry aren't ready to admit yet, but its true. If you don't understand the marketing theory behind how blogs reach a potential that is possibly light years ahead and superior to that of TGPs and Free Sites when it comes to conversions, then you have a lot of catching up to do.
The only proof I need in this statement rests in all of the other programs that validated your claim that initiated this thread and agreed with how you called out those blogs today.
