. Maybe if you asked them not to swear you could get Amazon to change its mind?
See we're going in a different direction. I've already canceled my Amazon Prime.

I will be updating my moniker with my picture and my screen name as my name.
It's time to stand up out of the shadows of anonymity.
Stop. You are not nearly as stupid as Roberto Ribas.

Why do you hate FREEDOM! mell?
Who would participate in a free speech forum, and bitch and moan like a menopausing IHL about free speech?
Patrick.net has been banned from Amazon for too many favorable opinions expressed about the one political candidate who is actually a threat to the necrotic, nepotistic status quo
Sorry for too much #feelthebern

No worries, that was sarcasm in reaction to Winston's well-mannered speech.
However Logan is a good example of somebody maintaining frame and staying civilized yet assertive no matter how much one disagrees with him or calls him names. A good trait.
Do you think its wrong to call a spade a spade?
You can debate without insults with most if not all. Doesn't mean that insults shouldn't be allowed, but they often detract from the topic at hand.

i asked exactly what in specific violated their terms, and was again given a complete non-answer:
Dear Associate,
As stated in our previous communication, upon a review of your Associates account we have determined that you are not in compliance with the Operating Agreement that governs your participation in the Associates Program. We have closed your Associates account and you will not receive further payment of advertising fees.
You are not in compliance with Participation Requirement Number 1 and the Operating Agreement because the sites you are sending traffic from contain either sexually explicit, violent, libelous/defamatory materials or promotes discriminatory or illegal activities.

funny they still refer to me as "Dear Associate" when i am clearly neither! lol

It's probably a simple feedback-loop once you have been singled out to be non-PC that will re-send the same answer to any inquiry sent by you.

Youre a decent bloke, and i like you, but now i can see why you've been called dishonest

The grunts at Amazon support are completely worthless. Basically one grunt makes an arbitrary decision and no other grunt wants to question it and cannot figure out the basis of the other grunt's decision anyway. Unless you are a big cheese and bring in a lot of money for them, their philosophy is you're not worth our fucking time.

I don't want to rock the boat, so to speak but there are a LOT of people who use dirty words on this website. I mean a LOT. Maybe if you asked them not to swear you could get Amazon to change its mind?
Fuck that shit!!!

I already think Amazon sucks. I really don't buy much from them because it's usually cheaper to buy whatever I want elsewhere (like eBay or WalMart). Amazon sometimes charges people more, depending upon what browser they are using, if they looked at the item before. Fuck that shit!!!
The only thing that I actually like about Amazon is that their videos are included with Prime. Makes for good entertainment when at someone's house where they have it, other than that, f it's just for yourself, Amazon Prime is a waste of money. I like the reviews on Amazon, but rarely buy there.

The things Amazon chooses to charge you more for
What the authors find is that Amazon has carefully priced some items low, while leaving others more expensive -- in some cases, much more expensive -- to bolster its reputation as a place for deals.
And then there's this: Amazon seems to know, likely by studying billions of shopping transactions, exactly the time of year when many people will buy an item even if the price is high, the study said. For instance, the online retailer seemed to know that a lot of people would be buying HDMI cables in the fall and the run-up to Christmas. Boomerang found that a pack of Twisted Veins HDMI cables went from just under $5 in the summer to more than $8 before Christmas.

Amazon Charges Sales Tax On "Shipping and Handling"

After a bit of experimentation, it seems to me that what’s going on here is that those with a Prime membership are being quoted a higher price. Ouch. So the thanks I get for paying for the Prime membership and shopping at Amazon a lot is higher prices.

Previous research and media investigations since 2000 have found that Amazon and US retailer Staples had been charging users different prices for products due to estimations of their wealth and geographic location, a practice known as "price discrimination".

If you're looking for a one off tie or pair of socks, go to Alibaba. Sometimes (not always because of Prime/Bulk Resellers) it is cheaper just to order from Alibaba vendors.
I wonder if Alibaba has an affiliate program? They sell everything, even #10 cans for the Cannibal Anarchy.

this indeed is a badge of honor!
They would not answer my request for a clarification of exactly which of their rules had been violated. Sublime proof that politically incorrect speech will not be tolerated by our owners.
