It's more than that, and it's my single biggest beef with this community. I'm headed to FTU, and I love what we do there, but what I DON'T like is the "gate lice" condescension.

My blog is proudly for the 99%, and I think that's the bottom line problem with some FTers' issues with affiliate links: they don't like their secrets being let out of the clubhouse, and GOD FORBID anyone profit by helping some plebe out there in the sticks get to his family reunion more inexpensively. FTB is CC link free, but I saw some pretty strong haterade from the trolls at the beginning for Amazon links that literally earned pennies.
