Totally agreed. That's what I disliked of that basher. He basically took every Pavlina reader for an idiot just because he thinks that advertising is evil. Which is absolutely ridiculous. I understand when people make fun of the typical guy who re-sends every spam he receives, or someone who believes everything. But that guy pretended to be "special" because he realized Steve was evil and "most people" don't. Please. We can tell an ad from a site link, thank you.
But some others have expressed it best: we simply feel better after reading Steve's site, we feel empowered, happy, joyful. That site offered nothing but reaffirmation for the ones who envy or despise Steve. If you don't know Steve but stumble into his site, you'll probably read something interesting. If you don't know Steve and stumble into that bashing site, you'll get nothing worthy for your time. That's the big difference.
