So I removed the link. But not because they could have scared me out of linking to them with their ridiculous letter. I removed the link because crap like this offends me. The nature of the web is that you can get anywhere from any page. This usually happens through a succession of clicks to different links. A person can easily avoid pornography or any other "offensive material" by NOT CLICKING ON ANY OF THOSE LINKS or using a program like Cyber Patrol. The page I think they're talking about doesn't even link to them and to make matters worse, it's probably the lamest page on my site. For this company to tell me what I can or cannot put on a page that does not have a direct link to them is offensive to me. I send about 500 customers to Amazon each month. A good number of those customers end up buying something. They realize that any customer is a good customer. They realize that the more "eyeballs" they get, the higher the potential for actual sales. They aren't going to turn down business because of some petty issue of a page on a site that doesn't show any direct association with them whatsoever. Asimba apparently is and this is the reason I have removed my link to their page. Apparently they are so wildly successful that they have the ability to select where their customers come from. More power to them. I predict their business will fail within one year.
