Insulting the Sponsor

[Jason]

On Wayne's World, Wayne and Garth don't like Noah Vanderhoff, the sponsor of the their show, and they make fun of him. Anyway, would you make fun of the sponsor or allow members to do so? I don't think it's a good idea.

I don't have any sponsors. My forum is self funded by me and a friend.

would you like me to quote Musk on this matter?

Lmao Wayne’s world, love that movie.

I would try not to insult a sponsor.

I wouldn't believe in special treatment per se, I dislike any arrangement that shields an entity from criticism if deserved. Pushback if it's a poor criticism is to be expected. However I don't think there's a time or place to spout off insults that would fly, sponsor or fellow member. I'm not familiar with the OP example but it sounds like it's played up for comedy which is a little different and depends on what you're looking at.

trying to get hold of one is just as bad then trying to keep them

How is that?

How is that?

They always want to have something in return and if you can't keep that return they go crazy or times that they not like what they see.

Well yeah, that's usually the arrangement. Even the name is a more brisk implication of a trade/enterprise. Honestly I tend to see more issues with just generic advertising though, say, google going 'nuh uh, don't like that!'

That's just business, but no need for that attitude in some cases
