Wes, I am in agreement with many seemingly contradictory points of view that have been made in this thread. I have seen many people complain here and around the internet about having their ads pulled from kingsnake when they are clearly not in compliance with clearly stated policies. And I agree that rules are rules.
At the same time I also agree that there is selective enforcement of rules for the "in crowd", the "common folks", and the "out crowd", three distinct classes of people. And I have noticed that some people that are ordinarily quite outspoken are obviously afraid to anger the great OZ. The bottom line of it to me is that if a person is not politically astute or not willing to occasionally walk on eggshells or to pretend not to see that the Emperor has no clothes there is no point in spending money to advertise in this particular venue.
