I don't really care to be honest, as long as someone isn't trying to hide who they are.  Nobody seems to go mental whenever the Ritewing guy turns up and then goes again.

I explained it in the other thread, I will explain it to you when I see you if you need further clarification.
That seems to be the case, please do explain more when we meet ;-) I was apologetic to others, you were very entertaining lol
To fly or not to fly? this is the question

There's a big difference.

Chris from Ritewing comes on here to personally promote and provide assistance with HIS OWN PRODUCT.

JAB1a came on today with an overblown, over the top, so called "review" about a flipping back pack.... seriously.... I've never seen anyone so enthusiastic about a back pack. Just so happens that the brand that sponsors him is plastered all over said back pack... funny that.

I bought a backpack case for my DJI Phantom last year (albeit a cheap hobbyking one).... it drastically enhanced my ability to take my phantom and all it's kit out and about in one easy to carry bag... but I didn't feel the need to shout this from the roof tops, with lots of pictures of this magical bag and a link of the website where I bought it... did I?

I can see that there's a bit of a difference, yeah.  But as a total bystander the reactions were so extreme that I ended up feeling a bit sorry for the guy.  I can't believe people were genuinely as upset as they were making out, it seemed all a bit out of proportion.

As a total bystander, you may not have been aware of his affiliation with the brand, some people were and they were right to point it out :)

People get sponsors....and then try to promote those sponsors.... really?


LOL

I didn't see the thread so have no idea, but isn't that what sponsored people are meant to do?

The idea behind this Thread was to create a place to have a quick - get-it-off-your-chest - type of rant on any subject.
You learn something new every day.

Lol, if I get really bored within the next 627 years I might translate it all into German.

I want to know why women think that Boots are the ones being sexist for charging more for pink razors than they do for blue razors, when they know they are both exactly the same but feel they have to buy pink razors instead of blue ones.

The Q+A and reviews on these are great:

haha, yes I saw those yesterday. The top review reminds me of the good old daily mash days.
