| Re: Sponsored Builder's Forum Ethics A simple point from my 30-year business perspective is that if I have incurred great expense to create a forum\dialog for client interaction and another business owner inserts themselves unfairly, it's interference. Can you imagine your reaction if you sat down with a client in a coffee shop and another business person pulled up a chair and started pitching their product? I'll bend over backwards immediately to resolve disagreement or conflict and continue doing so for a long time but it's amazing how ethical interpretations are bent and twisted in the context of making a buck. All too often, when that buck is made, the business mission is damaged and it's time to resist. |
