You're wrong, at least in my case.
Objecting to an ad being included to appear as though it's something I had posted is not bashing IHub, it's protecting my own name and integrity.
IMO, it's no different from if Matt opened messages from people and inserted his own opinions in, without identifying them as such, but making them look as though they had been written by the poster.
Banner ads, fine Ads that appear on each page outside the shaded block containing the response, fine. Matt has to pay for the site, that's fair. But not in a way that implies endorsement of ads.
Disclaimer: Whatever advertisement appears below was not selected or approved by
me, and appears under my name without my permission or authorization. The
advertiser's decision to advertise in this way IMO reflects very poorly on their integrity
and principles, and I, personally, would never do business with such a company. If you
choose to do so, you have my sympathy.
I suggest everybody who objects to advertisements which appear to be posted under their
name include a disclaimer like the one above. If you want to copy mine, feel free. Maybe if
the advertisers realize that they lose credibility with serious investors by these tactics, they will
decide to put their advertising dollars in more appropriate places.
