You know, I can understand his point to a degree. There are people who spend all their time on the forums then complain they aren't making any money, when that time could be better spent optimizing their site.
And you know what, sometimes people ARE stealing your affiliate links, but I wouldn't go on a forum and complain, I'd do what most good affiliates have done and warn people about how to mask your links.
He obviously has a gripe with somebody somewhere, but tough love isn't such a bad thing.
I come here to complain sometimes, but I always admit my laziness, mistakes, etc. and it motivates me to get encouragement here that others have done the same, and still turned out to be successful affiliate marketers.
Forums are a great resource, but some people are addicted to them, when they need to be out working their site.
