It seems to me that you went out looking for something that would sound sensational on your ***** [edited to remove content contrary to forum rules IMHO] blog and win you kudos among the phorm-hat3rz on this and other forums. You weren't talking to him and you sure as *** [edited to remove content contrary to forum rules IMHO] weren't listening to him, you were thinking only of how great it would make you sound.

The whole thing reeks of a late night, local radio telephone prank call. Except without being funny.

Bad show.
I'm comparing this post to the forum rules, and struggling to get my head round how to reconcile the post, and the rules. I hope we can continue to discuss Phorm, Webwise and Adverts without baiting or hostility or personal comments as we have been so recently advised by a moderator.

I shan't be joining in for a while as the standard has just seriously deteriorated. I'm not reporting this post, as I don't currently feel that would achieve much except probably to my disadvantage. Perhaps those reading can make their own judgements. Good night all and I hope things return to sanity very very soon.
