i've got a beef with your robot marketing strategy of not buying ads and then pretending that you're all whatever and just posting youtube videos and links to freaking myspace pages as if we cared what you thought just because you found this site and came up with a nickname that is approximately as clever as anyone else's that posts here? which, you know, wouldn't probably bother you normally, except that i also have the ability to delete your stupid viral crap, and have begun to use it.
so here is my new rule, and i hope that anyone who posts here that actually isn't paid to do** so will weigh in with their opinions on this matter: if you are a jerk as outlined in the above paragraph, you can post exactly two pieces of ridiculous marketing bullshit (ben kweller's grandma? who gives a rat's ass?) and have the chance to respond like a decent person to all our polite messages urging you to behave like a respectful community member before i delete your dumb threads.
you want us to go check out your social networking links? TRY TO BUY AN AD. try to actually do something that supports community instead of exploiting it, annoying it, or polluting it.
sincerely,

**and by this i do not mean people who post here instead of doing day jobs. by this i mean people whose jobs include trying to post here in order to get more people to buy more stuff.
woo hoo!
