Dear Belly,

I speak not with forked or silly tongue. I want to see honesty in speech, writing and advertising. I would like to see gradations of value in speech rather than the proliferation of 'ultimate', 'superstar' and 'fantastic'. Superlatives should be limited to those rare occurences, objects or people who are unquestionably superlative. It would be good to limit the use of adjectives in general.

In the initial blurb that I cited the following appeared:

"Talk to motivated people who share your values"

When the advertisers found some values expressed that their target group did not share they were justified in withdrawing their ads.

It would have been honest to say that olo provides a forum for a variety of views rather than promising 'shared values'.

Gday David, you need to excuse me here my Grammar is awful truly I do not judge on how a writing is put together but its intent.
I feel I know you, do not but you talk as many I know do.
Total truth in advertising never existed ever.
I would have said nothing much different, and do not see ANY DECEPTION HERE.
If right now, you and I had the task here of attracting adds, to this forum to among other things keep it alive.
What would you write in one paragraph?
This is my not thought out effort.
OLO has[number of visitors]from diverse back grounds your money may well reach those who can not be reached in other media out lets.
List current users.
I however think you are looking for mullet in a long dry dam.

Dear Belly,

One never really knows another person, and all we get from email messages are shadows of shadows. I agree that total truth in advertising never has existed, but we can still try to tell the truth as best we can.

I appreciate your metaphors.
