Nobody claimed you used those specific words. I posted what you said word for word in quoted form. If you want to view advertising giving away free product to everyone who gives you a like BEFORE they give you feedback as not purchasing that positive feedback, that is your prerogative. But I dont see it as a stretch of logic for others to come to that conclusion. If you werent telling people ahead of time 'we will give you free product if you give us positive feedback', but instead simply sent it out after the like was given, that would be one thing. But telling people ahead of time that you will is in fact purchasing positive feedback, imo. You are a businessman trying to maximize sales and profit, so I dont lay out any moral judgment over it. But I also dont have any moral qualms with saying that it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.Did I say those words?I don't recall ever saying that.
yes. Yes they are. Very much so.Nobody claimed you used those specific words. I posted what you said word for word in quoted form.

If you want honest feedback, my honest feedback is you would give a much better impression if you'd say something like "I can see where it could look like purchasing positive feedback, but that is not my intention". Some people would still view it as buying votes of course, but it would still look a lot better than you simply stonewalling by denying you specifically said the words "Im buying positive feedback". People aren't stupid, they recognize when someone is dancing around an obvious point.
You do realize that the dome is not able to be viewed by the robots since its a members only section right?It is free advertisement. You must not look down at the number of visitors this site gets. Keeping it in the top 10 by posting retarded **** only gives it more exposure.
