I will try my best to make this my last post on this subject, because going on will just add to the resentment, but I have to speak up this time.
If MR does not want this forum to be a sales platform, then whey did MR not stop RobertB when he posted his very first Astak thread (you know, that thread which just keeps going and going and going?), when it was quite clear that he was pitching his product? Again, I have to repeat what I said in my previous post---moderators have the power. They can't just let something happen and then later on "whine" about that something that they let happen. If MR policies are clear about acceptable activities, then nip the thing in the bud decisively when you see something which is not acceptable by MR standards. Whining about it later on in the game does not look good---after all, you didn't do anything about it in the first place.
Another thing I want to point out is that, by allowing RobertB to freely post in these forums, to interact and discuss with MR members and answer their numerous questions and even tolerate not-so-polite doubters, he has made a considerable investment of his time and effort to MR members and vice versa. I don't think this has been considered thoroughly in these discussions nor how such an investment from both sides can change dynamics in a forum (e.g. friendships and loyalties can arise).
Finally, what's up with this business of cherry-picking posts from another thread and transferring them to this thread? In my opinion, doing this is a big blunder.
