Reading through this article I was thinking "oh, so she's Alex Jones with a left wing slant and different genitalia." Started reading through the comments, and sure enough I see one that says "Hi, I sign the beer petion for list of ingrediants.Im soory i could not find the list of beers you said you had if you signed the petion on the alex jones show."

The Alex Jones interview she did was actually good for local brewers (even if they got there the wrong way). Jonesy was like "support your local brewers, not the big multinational lagers" and I was like "yeah, nah that's fair."

I think it's the only time I've ever agreed with him... and I watch a bunch of Info Wars (for research)
 
In Nov/Dec I started experiencing strange redirects while browsing BA. I would simply be reading a thread and without even clicking anything I would be redirected to another site. I started a thread asking about it, thinking at best there is an error with some banner ads, or at worst they are somehow force-redirecting for additional ad/click revenue.

Todd immediately responded that "there is nothing in their code that would cause this" and suggested the problem was on my end via either malware or an incompatible browser. I humored the BA apologists that chimed in by downloading additional anti-malware software and showing them the results, but in the end maintained my opinion that it was related to BA and their advertising. Todd disappeared.

Fast forward to my buddy forwarding me a link to this BA thread this morning. So I was right and apparently so many people began experiencing issues that Todd felt compelled to post about it (and, of course, to let people know that they can avoid these advertising pitfalls by purchasing a Premium membership). I responded to the thread basically to the tune of "I brought this up in December, Todd said it was my problem which was obviously not true, now he's saying the only solution is a paid membership, BA is a crock of ****."

I got a notification 2 minutes later that my post had been deleted for "Reason: Rude, untrue, and you haven't been following along." Then I noticed my OP from December asking about it was deleted as well.

*******, **** those duplicitous homies.

Here's some actual accurate info about the issue with those sorts of ads. Of course Todd is full of **** and has no clue what he's talking about:
