They are a paying advertiser, not subject to being criticized.

Some newspapers are careful not to let disparaging remarks be printed about their major advertisers. Similarly, TV stations used to cancel shows if they offended an advertiser. Not much different here. Still you would hope that the businesses could stand a little bad press, but then maybe it wasn't a little.

TOTV is not a philanthropic endeavor.

It is basically a for profit web based advertising medium. The amount a site can charge an advertiser is calculated on "hits", or how many times the site is accessed. Msg Boards generate LOTS of hits.

[QUOTE=LndLocked;975056]TOTV is not a philanthropic endeavor.

I haven't bought the GPS that's advertised yet but I will because so many people here said it works. If the advertising policy is deleting anyone that says the GPS doesn't work then I'll do my research elsewhere. That kind of policy would hurt business in the long run. Would you agree?

And do you really think anyone thinks this message board is a philanthropic endeavor?
