“recycling to remove competition is another” is a very negative way of looking at what the company is attempting to do. They are encouraging owners of older and outdated stands to recycle them and for that are rewarding those owners. End of story.

As for the contest, there is no rule for posting opinions but your comment for it is clearly a contest entry and less of an “opinion”. It is just extremely ironic and hypocritical of you to first troll about the rating system and then go and enter in the contest anyway.

In any case, I am glad that you have finally come to the understanding that “maybe you just don't get it” because that is the first comment of yours that I can actually agree with you on 110%.

Thanks for removing my last name from your response, not sure why you felt the need to publicize that.

To be honest, I actually posted a honest thought and am surprised at all the responses. Recycling a gas guzling car and taking it off the street is one thing, "recycling" to remove competition is another. Maybe I just don't get it, but either way, I'm done with this post, lol.

As for entering a contest, I didn't see any rule where you can't offer your opinion, lol. All in all, have a great Monday everyone!

You keep responding as much as I do, lol. On a more serious note, an extremely serious note, remove my name from that post immediately. In regards to your TOS, you state that all information is private. You have used your privileges to publish private information, and I believe you have done it purposefully. Remove it ASAP!!

Kilbrai, there's a difference between constructive criticism and
knowing when to just stop talking.

We hear you. We got it. And we don't need to hear it anymore.

But you'll likely still respond because you cannot understand this.

Marketing, yes. Of course it is!

But the amount of actually energy used to recycle these (especially
when compared to a full size vehicle) is extremely minimal and
frankly, this entire subject is silly to even discuss.

But the fact that they are even offering a recycling program is a good
step.

Hmm, I'm sorry that you're not good at receiving constructive criticism. I usually take time to help people a lot (in fact, my whole job is centered around helping people). I invest a ton of time and energy helping people. In regards to online blogs, yes, I do that too (in the forums). Often, the character of a person, is most uncovered in the face of constructive criticism. To me, the idea of giving something away to a friend, or even selling it, is better than throwing it away, or taking up space in the recycling system (let's be honest though, most people won't recycle, they'll chuck it). Or the best option, just use the code below and get it for free without wrecking something that's perfectly good, and keep that competing product in the system, as competition is good. As for my blog, I have one, but it has nothing to do with iPhones, electronics, or technology, and it's really just read by those who know me, and want to follow my work (which is exactly what I designed it for). Thanks for playing though!

Okay, but rather than wrecking a perfectly good stand and (1) having it enter a landfill or (2) having it take up more plastic recycling energy – why didn't you just give it away to a friend, sell it, put it up as a prize here on the blog? There are waaay better things to do with these than wrecking them. I stand by the reality that this is a shameless marketing ploy.
