This wasn't actually a consideration. MP simply decrufted his desktop ; the situation is rather similar to one who, upon realising his kitchen countertops do indeed offer limited surface space, decides to discard a well defunct Rowenta mixer. This isn't a decision to "stop advertising Rowenta", notwithstanding that such could be indeed counted as one of the outcomes.

Yet the reason Rowenta needn't write lachrymose denunciations of the offensive example of undemocratic madness or whatever is that indeed Rowenta, while quite the obscure brand, nevertheless expends a little more effort towards acquiring some customers, building some market share and so forth than simply none at all. Consequently, it can afford the apparent luxury of not giving a shit whether you keep about old appliances you no longer use nor will ever again use.

As I use her log displayer multiple times a day, a 100% ham item is better for me than a more crufty version. Fortunately she was amenable to what for me personally is an improvement, possibly even because she actually came to the same conclusion independently -- I don't know, because I didn't ask ; and I didn't ask because I didn't care. I don't care still, what the fuck difference does it conceivably make ?

In any case you might notice that Trilema also doesn't have a sidebar full of dead links, forinstance. This isn't because of some concern about advertising -- notwithstanding that my blog does perhaps carry more commercial power in this sense than her log reader, I routinely link all sorts and manner of deranged fucks. But I also tend to maintain my workplace, at least to some sort of hygiene standard which, while I don't deem either obligatory for anyone else nor even necessarily recommendable, yet perhaps shouldn't be confused with random other things. I also don't breed rats or ants in the basement or raccoons in the back yard, and this also out of other concerns besides not advertising the respective animals -- though conceivably they might tell you differently.

In summa : I really don't care nearly that much what other people do.

It is true however that I would not likely *begin* such a relationship with someone whom I had previously negrated. The same, however, holds true for any other reasonable WoT user.

Must nitpick: specified IMHO very clearly in the prospectus that paying subscribers will only be banished for hooliganism. (This has not happened to date.)
