I'm not getting anywhere with this, so I'll make one more post to try and clarify what I was trying to get at.
1) I consider multiple pop-ups bad for everyone in the business. (I'm not patently against pops, but this site was launching 10.) I could care less if affiliates get a console free option, I don't promote sites that annoy any potential customer away from possibly ever using internet porn. I have friends who stick to videos and mags for this very reason- the belief that adult sites are too deceptive and not worth the bother. To me, this is beyond ethics/principles, because it's bad for business and not linking self-destructive sites is long-term financial decision for me.
2) I chose to email Epic Cash to tell them why I wouldn't be promoting them because (presumably) if they saw they were losing enough potential affiliates, they might take it under advisement to stop doing something many people dislike. I wasn't trying to be dogmatic or force anyone to change over to my point of view. If I got a lot of emails from potential affiliates complaining about say, my site not having a graphic enough tour, I would seriously consider changing it.
3) Whatever you think of point number one, I didn't post to say, "what do you think of pop-ups? Do they make people money?" I posted to say I was treated incredibly inappropriately by a sponsor. If I read that one of my (few) sponsors treating someone else that way, I would most likely cease doing business with them.

Fury,
I'll be very blant because I know you can handle it.
1) pimpcock is a putz and
2) you are not very bright and you can stick your "principles" up your ass.
if I had to chose between being a putz or not very bright,
I'd chose being a putz.
