If we can apply that to all the conversations here where people feel insult and not limit it to the board owner then that might be legitimate. I'm sure lots of misreading and misinterpreting goes on but fingers are always pointed at other posters as being the meanies while those that do much of the ...

I think for those that have business pages it is a exposure-marketing thing. Probably has some merit. Personal stuff, no. just creepy.
