What's the trophy look like? A donut with a big gaping hole in it? *smile*

Nothing I like better than a thoughtful, well-reasoned post.

Reading your diatribe convinces me even more that Arrington is dead-on, and you're a greedy, opportunistic shill.

Hello, Bob H.

Prove that I'm a greedy shill. Show me where I've deceived anyone. Take the challenge.

You can either leave a comment here or on your own blog, except you didn't link your own blog so I guess leave it here.

Otherwise your condemnation leaves you in the land of the ignorant and uninformed, just like Arrington.

Simple, if you are creating a widespread market for deception you are doing a bad thing for the world. Sorry, I hate to be like this but you are acting like the ugly red headed stepchild to spam. You are taking a pure medium like blogging and tainting it with your un-innovativee mal-inspired poison. Live with it--I won't loose any sleep.

You haven't shown me here on this blog how I've created any kind of widespread market for deception, Jason.

More to the point, you HAVE been given exactly what you asked for -- disclosure and a policy for disclosure. So why aren't you joining the conversation?

I won't lose sleep either. AND I can look myself in the mirror in the morning, something I'd have trouble doing if I were using whatever clout I had to stomp on folks less fortunate than myself.

For the sake of boneheaded argument, I'll take the easy route. The answer to your question is, you don't have to be deceptive, you can stuff your guidelines under your pillow when you sleep at night knowing you have just put the wrong idea in a million lower than you if possible idiot’s heads, who will exploit your business method until it reaches the lowest common denominator just like any idea or concept that holds any value on this effing planet. Drunk on koolaid 2.0--you couldn't think of anything that would add to the conversation and so now you've just tainted the quality of every conversation on the web.

Don't act like what you've done is bright either, you no more than an extension to fake forum dwellers who get paid. Big whooptie. You are the type of person who makes things trendy, not because you bring it in, but because you escort people out the door.

What netscape has created is more evil than what Microsoft has done to them.

And so you prove that you also haven't actually looked at any posts I've written, or you'd know immediately that the approach you describe isn't mine.

Jason · 3 years ago

And you claim you are not part to deception. You live the tainting of the earth none the less

Arrington questioning the veracity of disclosure policies?

TechCrunch is well known for their (non)disclosures.

i just checked the disclosurepolicy website.
tried to generate a policy for my blog.

My blog 'earns money with advertising' but 'does not insert paid posts'.
I dont see any options in the policy generator which suit my blog.
am i missing something? or is disclosurepolicy.org not for me?

Hi Rayne,

The options in the menus are intended as a place to start. Once you've gone through and the text is generated, I'd suggest tweaking it to fit your particular style/blog/whatever. It's only intended to be a beginning. It would also be cool for you to leave comments in their forums about what specific tweaks you made to get it to fit your blog, just as a way for others to get some ideas.

I'd just delete the references to paid posts and leave the advertising part in there.

You shouldn't view the result from the generator tool as the be-all and end-all -- just a beginning for you to shape into something that works for you.
