SLIKSTIK & OSCAR.......
Frostillicus:
Ah, I just read the last bunch of posts of that one thread....
FWIW, I certainly hope I didn't spark the little controversy over in the 'DOT first impressions' thread (if that is indeed what this thread is about) simply because I just wanted to know about the free spinning quality of the new spinner. It's a valid question to an important trait (smooth free spin or stop after a few seconds?) of any type of spinner. If I hadn't asked I'm sure someone would have. I mentioned the other brand merely to illustrate what I was talking about. My intention was not to start a tornado vs DOT debate.... :P

Look GROOVEY, it's actually very simple. People don't care about self-promotion around here. But Christian's posts definitely had a note of "getting in OSCAR's face". To promote your product is cool. To put down someone elses product, as a competitor, in their own thread is not so cool (IMHO).
Someone described it as "lack of tact". I agree with that. No biggie, just kind of tacky.
Oh, and BTW, OSCAR *does* give back to this community as much, or probably more, than anyone. So, yeah, people stick up for OSCAR. I think he's earned the loyalty. That shouldn't be threatening to anyone. There's plenty of love to go around. :)

oh yeah!?!?? well my dad can beat up your spinner!
or uh.... nvr mind =P

"Besides cabinet plan vendors"
I decided to mention (because it is sort of on topic) CyberPunk sells plans (MAMEroom) , and he is a good guy! I don't really think plans should cost money, and they can be found for free. People like the convienience; they have other options. He gives a lot back to the community. He does make a lot of money on it (guessing by how much he gives away). He even put up another message board (and hosted mine for me ;D)
