Please do not post competing web sites such as TB's web site.

You can Private message anyone who asks for the TBs new web address but posting a competing web who has sponsors not on HNI's list is not.

That was the reason it was edited and why you might get PMs.

Thanks for your understanding

I respectfully agree with you guys.

Many of us here learn from those sites and then share the info on this site for debate and/or discussion. His site has started many post HERE about products we learn about through his site and other forums. Many of us here are also members on other forums and we intentionally bring the same topic here for members that are not on those forums or websites. Since bias may be a result of sponsors, its a good way to form an objective opinion and better the sport overall.

I may not agree with TB on many things but he brings more to this forum than he removes.

I run adblock plus so i dont see ads or banners here or there anyway.

When the government stops you from saying something, that is censorship. When the owners of this or any internet website stops you from saying something it is not censorship. Only a government can censor someone.

Just thought I would throw that one out there. I thought this guy TB was not well liked in the BP world? I would think from what I have read about him, anyone would not need much of reason to reemove him from the net. ?????

Actually anyone in a position of authority can be a censor. Parents, Teachers, Governments, Web forum moderators, and so on.
As far as Toby goes, he has been controversial at times but so are a lot of people. That doesn't mean he needs to be "removed" from the net.

censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body.

The ironic thing here is, this site has allowed individual shill to post, without verification, over and again and again and again, information about their product. The information posted here again and again and on and on by these shill, without substantiation, is far worse than one person, posting one time, a link to another shill' website. Isn't it?!?

Amen Ron and TOBY DOESN"T visit this site looking to push products.the product pushers are very obvious.you rarely see them, unless they want to post new info on there pet products or jump in on a post someone started regarding the product..say what you like about Toby, i find most of what he says interesting and informative.if everyone agreed on the same things, the world would be awful boring.

Well I for one apologize if I have ruffled feathers here. A simple e-mail back would have sufficed.

For what it is worth the only one in trouble here is me!
I made a mistake and apologize as you boys do provide great information for many others ~ me included.
