Apparently you did not read the rules to this web site and have decided to blatantly advertise on this site.

 

I for one am supprised and dissapointed that they have allowed you to do this!!!!

 

Perhaps this is how the web manager of this site is trying to tell the rest of us who have followed the rules that we are no longer wanted on this site.


I am sure Amvic, Build Block, Polysteel, and Quad lock who spend the money to advertise on this site are dissappointed as well.

I agree 100%. I'm a distributor for one of the above mentioned companies and do think this is bogus. I'm old school and believe in playing by the rules. Boycott the violators is what I say!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rules where created for a reason those who do not follow the rules often end up in trouble.

I am not an advertiser on this site but give of my knowledge freely to those who post, and will advertise when I am ready to advertise on this site.

We do extensive training on site for our first time buyers I can not answer for those who advertise on this site and pay there dues so to speak. but I will continue to honor the rules of the site despite those who choose not to.

As for the name calling, well look at how you responded.

Seriously...Cattail Bill I say you rock! My experience is when you call someone on their BS they tend to word vomit on you in an attempt to deflect attention from themselves.

The confusion in the ICF field comes from individuals who are narrow minded and or short sighted and try to get jobs/sells anyway they can. I say grow the ICF industry so the world benefits and stop the block hocking and foam sellsman mentality. I would hate to see reputable ICF distributors viewed as used car sellsmen...ie sharks!

I like Cattail Bill am a rules follower. Maybe the powers that be are on holiday and that is why Mr. Westley's post got through.

The post has been deleted. It was posted on 6/19/07, and I deleted it the same day. I was away from the site on an extended weekend, but want you to know I do delete all blatant advertising, and send messages to those that posted, that blatant advertising is not allowed. Thank you to all who do follow the Green Building Talk rules.

And I was also gone so I missed all the fun!!

However, to be serious for a minute, I have been on this site since it was started, and I mean way back when the webmaster had a sudden health issue and subcumbed. I am still active on this site, and like everyone, try to get just a little edge by being here. I call it subliminal inuedo advertising, but its really spending our time for very small return!

Some of us are builders, some are resellers and some are design builders yet we ALL pretty much attempt to provide info so someone can make an informed decision about one of the most important purchases of their life....their home! If each of us constantly spouts Brand XYZ is better than your Brand LM versus premfg versus knockdown....then this site will die!

I prefer to think that all of us are trying to better ourselves by being here! That means both companies making money....and buyers being satisified with the end result!
