Hi Damon,
Welcome to 5 Star.
1) Yes, correct.
2) The sales pages your are talking about ARE offensive to many HOWEVER if the sales page is like that, why would you want to sell it - the product will like not be great (hence the hard sale tactics) or the product may be very hype filled too.
MOS IMPORTANT - If you are a newbie yourself you should not be trying to sell the get rich quick/here's how to make money online ebooks any way. If you don't know how, how can you try to sell others on HOW TO? Those type products are super competitive, the marketers that sell them are super experienced and aggressive.
IMHO most are sharks trying to take advantage of newbies just like you. "I'll show you the easy way to make 10K a month online" is a lie, there is no easy way. So I don't think you want to con other newbies into buying stuff like that.
Notice that if you are selling luggage or computers or most "real" products NONE use those long hype filled sales pages. So bottom line, if the sales page turns you off and you are afraid it will turn off your users, it's probably not a product you should be selling.
If you are selling "real" products, you'll be sending visitors to a page like this.
Product pic, description - maybe a benefit statement or testimonial - but no big sales pitch and no long sales letter.

It may be really helpful for you to stop, before going any further and read all the stickies in the newbie forum, then some in the niche forum. Find a not too competitive niche to start with that
is not about making money online.
Hope this helps!
