Tom BoblittJay does (or did....and still COULD) make valuable posts but the VAST majority of all the posts he's made since the ads went up (and even immediately before) were and are negative attacks on Leon and the whole concept and execution of the ads. The ads happened and they aren't going away. The personal crusade is mildly admirable, but I've always heard the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. The results are the same. Leon's still here and so are the ads.
This stuff goes in cycles and I'm sure you could chart it similarly to charting a stock. We get 2-3 months of peaceful, beneficial discussion, then the Mastro thread or the Banner Ads thread or whatever, and all Hell breaks out for a couple days. People who don't normally post--positive or negative--pop out of the woodwork, and then after it dies down, then shrink back to lurk.
And if you're worried about personal attacks, get out the mirror.....a lot are coming from your way........
