Dave,
I am unsure where your hostility comes from, especially as I do not know you. So please refrain from using nasty tones with me.
As far as whatever your views are with Fox, if you have problems with them, contact them. I really couldn't care less what your newscasters look or sound like, and your descriptions of what your newscasters sound like have nothing to do with the thread or the post.
The topic of this thread does have NOTHING to do with cycling... but HOT DEALS is not necessarily a CYCLING forum. I think you are confused about this. Please take the time to read through this link for the definitions of each of the forums:
http://www.bikeforums.net/ and understand the difference between what "Foo" is and what "Hot Deals" are. This is correctly placed in the Hot Deals, even if you do not agree with the subject matter in general.
Finally, I ask that you do take the time to read through the forum guidelines. Go back to that same FAQ and understand what harassment and disruption. The only violations on this thread seem to be the ones committed by the offensive tone you seem to take towards me about this thread. If you don't agree with it, that's your business, and you may even state you don't agree with it and even state why, but when you begin to use offensive wording in the process, you are violating the forum guidelines. I think you are confused-we may send out links to this public forum if we wish, but let me reword the Forum Guidelines you attached:
Solicitation... Refrain from using BikeForums to advertise your site, items for sale, commercial services or website. You may attach a short link to your site within your profile or signature. Feel free to also post a link, and short description of your site in our "Shameless Promotions" forum.
Clarifying what this means so that you understand clearly what the meaning of our guidelines:
Solicitation... Refrain from using BikeForums to advertise your site, your items for sale, your commercial services or your website. You may attach a short link to your site within your profile or signature. Feel free to also post your link, and your short description of your site in our "Shameless Promotions" forum.
So, if I choose to post what I consider to be a good deal, and I choose to send this site to someone else, it is within my right and my discretion. I did not imply in the slightest that there would be a
threat towards a forum member of sending their view to a third party. I merely wanted the person responsible for pointing out these hot deals to read the firsthand account about a contridiction. I am totally within my rights to do so, and if you don't like it, that's your perogative.
If you have problems with our forum guidelines, or if you have any further problems with correctly interpreting the guidelines, do not hesitate to contact myself or any of the other moderators via PM. We are always here to help, and we want to clarify the rules and regulations for our members so they are clear as to what is acceptable and what is unacceptable.
