Is money MORE important than right or wrong?

The way I see it they can spend all the money they want to advertise to me but I am still not going to buy anything from them anymore.

Simple enough, who gives a crap where CTD spends THEIR money ?
It's where you spend YOURS that matters.

Ok well enough put Tom to quell my ire -

Thank you for letting me rant everyone.

When they first sponsored NRA AR show I tried to like them but decided I wanted something a little better than dirt.

Ahh, come on, that's what the internet forum was invented for .

There is something to be said for quality in marketing.  Cheaper Than Dirt has never appealed to me as I went through their mailings and online presence.  Even when I felt comfortable with their pricing, they just were not appealing to me.  There then came a time, when due to time constraints and lessening patience, I dropped them from my regular place to compare, because I knew their structure and my interests did not match.  Obviously there are people they appeal to, or they would not still be around.

Michael, Marshal, and others with Outdoor Channel, I understand they are a sponsor, and you are dependent on their help to produce what we like.  Michael has made some of this known to us back when Ruger was not viewed well by some on here, but there is also a time when we as consumers need to be honest, and I don't feel that anyone on this thread is going overboard with claims or charges against a sponsor.  If our conversations here cost the Outdoor Channel a sponsor, maybe new opportunities will be opened by sponsors who approve of our attitudes and wishes.

To add to what Tom said.........

I look at it this way:
If most of the core viewers are people like us who obviously "get it" (when it comes to companies like CTD), and have open disdain for their practices and refuse to do business with them (which is the right thing IMHO).....but CTD continues to stay operational, then the money has to come from somewhere.
I suspect the majority of their income comes from the patronage of weekend-warriors, fudds, and mall ninjas, etc.
So, I don't spend my money with CTD (never have)...but I'm willing to let the ignorant pay them to pay for something I like.

With all of the badmouthing CTD gets, it doesn't seem to have had much effect. They are still selling away. I'll admit I've purchased stuff from them over the years. But always at as good or better prices than I could get the same thing for elsewhere. And I can't complain about their service either. Everything came, and came quickly.
