Perhaps this topic has gone on too long but.....
I don't think it was "at best" a mistake. I think it was just a mistake. I searched some earlier links that apesmom had provided earlier and links looked clean.
Yes, people should check links, but it is obvious that many people were not aware of the whole affiliation thing. The aff link policy is still pretty new and I suspect apesmom did not know what to look for. I didn't know (although I do now). apesmom was quick to apologize once the problem was pointed out.
The initial post that the link was deleted because it was an aff link was okay. I don't think the one informing apesmom that she(?) was a liar was. It was just plain rude.
