Sliqua-jcooter, everyone has a right to their own opinion. Whatever happened to Plank in the past (like you said, his car exploded) or whether you worship Plank like a brainwashed North Korean who reveres Kim Jong-il as if he were a god, is none of my business. But that doesn't give you any right to tell me what I can say or what I cannot say about your "Dear Leader."
Sweetie, you saying that Plank has bought cars (and multiple ones at it -- I didn't say at the same time, but still the same case nonetheless) is one way of proving his wealth. No ordinary citizen, much less a single American person, can buy multiple cars without the money, right? Second, his association with Autism Speaks is by itself a contradiction of his principles. He used to be against them -- now he is for them. Your words alone are proof that he works with those Aktion-T4 bigots.
But then again, it's not about you or me or Plank personally. It's about the ads, and Plank's inaction on that issue. And again, I'd like to repeat this in boldface, and please don't imitate this. It only makes things worse. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. Whether you worship Plank like a brainwashed North Korean who reveres Kim Jong-il as if he were a god is none of my business. But that doesn't give you any right to tell me what I can say or what I cannot say about your "Dear Leader." That part is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Enough has been said about Plank and opinions. Back to topic please. Sliqua-jcooter, if you have any more problems, there is a tool called "Personal Message." I'd recommend you bring your diatribes there, sweetie.

The thing is your whole basis on calling him money bags is wrong. Alex said that video ads are not allowed on this site and noise ones aren't either.

Again, I am entitled to my own opinion on that part where I called Plank "Mr Moneybags" (which IMO he really is). Like I said to Mr/Ms Whoever-That-Was, it was an endearment, and if people are offended by the "honorifics" I offer, that's not my problem. Also, I normally don't repeat information I already posted before, but let me do so anyway. If Plank said that video ads and noisy ads are not allowed, why do we still see them? See my point?

I have not received any information about these ads via email or PM.
I cannot blacklist these ads without knowing the domain of the advertiser. I have not seen any of these alleged video ads and have not seen any screenshots either. Consequently I cannot block then ads from appearing.
And if you think my only intent is to make money, it is foolish to conclude that I would purposely run ads that would result in users leaving the site or blocking ads which would decrease revenue. |

You're going way too far with the snide comments and insinuations - it's looking more like a personal attack with each post you make so I'd advise you to cut it out now, please.

That is a part I know already, thank you very much.
Though, to admit, it is pretty contradicting. His words doesn't match what the user actually experiences (well, for those without AdBlock). Kinda similar to his collaboration with those Nazis at Autism Speaks, whom he used to be against.
And, yes, Plank. That is my impression. Any problems?

All right, you want to shut me up? Okay, then. I'll shut up. I could call you a name for shutting me up, but as a civilised individual, I'm not going to do that. But next time, could some users put issues like this on PM instead? Because seriously, I have to defend my point, and if you have any problems with what I say....
As I mentioned, enough has been said about Plank and all that.

Why are you acting so thick? Alex said if video and noise ads are not pm'd to him then how does he know about them. If he knows about them then he will get rid of them. So because of that you don't have right to complain about them unless you pm'd alex about them a long time ago and he didn't fix it.

See, Cornflake? That's what I'm talking about. I was supposed to shut up, but then this one is so callous as to call me out.
But to answer your question, I'm not being thick. I'm being upfront. He doesn't respond to PMs. And he's not ridding them at this point. And I have all the rights to complain because I have been a long-time user of the forum. Okay!?

I don't care much what you say and you're more than welcome to say it - provided it doesn't stray into these areas: | WP Rules wrote: | The following activities are unacceptable on WrongPlanet:

Unacceptable content includes swearing; racist, sexist, homophobic language; behavior intended to provoke or belittle other members; violent or sexually demeaning content; sexual fetish; and discussion of excretory function.

This includes insinuation, ridicule and personal insults, regardless of whether direct or indirect. Attacking an opinion, belief or philosophy is acceptable, but attacking the person making the comments is not. |

This thread appears to have outlived any useful purpose so I think it's best to put it to sleep now.
