All I see are a bunch of self-promotional trolls, on both sides of the "issue".

Is setting up an entire website really a proportionate response to a dumb tweet? (Obviously, it is if you're stirring up controversy).

Seriously, guys... don't feed the trolls. You should know better than this.

What's wrong with self promotion? Who else is going to promote you for free?

What's wrong with self promotion?

It can make the signal-to-noise ratio unbearable. It cheapens the community, and makes it less interesting and useful.

Who else is going to promote you for free?

People who genuinely like your product. It's even better than free, they're paying you money.
