This post today, http://www.travelcodex.com/2016/04/h...rol-on-the-go/, is outrageous in how miniscule its disclosure is at the bottom.
When I commented that it should have appropriate disclosure, I first got a reply saying that Scott does all "necessary disclosures" even those that are "not required." I tried to respond by linking to the FTC guidance which requires conspicuous, upfront disclosures, but the entire comment had been deleted. (Putting aside how something can be "necessary" but "not required.")
And when I suggested that email would be a better way to address your concerns and discuss how to improve disclosure, you said you didn't want to "discuss" it. Rather you just linked to another document and said I should do better.

My blog is not your platform for public shaming. If you were interested in constructive criticism you would engage through a medium that allows us to discuss the issue in more detail, not through 140 character limits on Twitter and a one-sentence comment on a blog.
