They have apparently been extremely embarrassed by the public response to their outburst, and quite rightly so. Perhaps they will remember in future that there are other human beings at the end of an e-mail. Needless to say, they won't be working with the merchant in question, but Affiliate Window are happy to allow them to remain on their network. I certainly wouldn't have, but I respect AW's decision, and won't be firing off a tirade of abuse to them just because I don't agree with them...

Here's me always moaning and complaining about how merchants treat us affiliates like disposable amateurs rather than the skilled professionals so many of us are. People like this come along and portray us not only as amateurs but abusive, unstable, and alarming. It's hugely damaging to the many affiliates who behave with exemplary professionalism and can bring brilliant skillsets to merchant's marketing efforts. If I was a new merchant, an incident like this would make me think "Who the bloody hell are these people this network has sold me on?" I'd also be seriously intimidated by an e-mail like that. It only takes one rotten apple to spoil the barrel, so I think its definately time for a clean up. Couldn’t agree more John.
