I think you guys are confused - there are several different people/groups at work here...
There is a site called dailyclimber. On 12-29, dailyclimber listed the woody's pawprints for sale with the text listed in the original post.
http://dailyclimber.com/2007-12-29?via=feed
Dailyclimber has two RC.com posters that I know of, docajen, who is a moderator for the dailyclimber forum
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...i?username=docjacen;
and aja175, who runs dailyclimber.
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...cgi?username=aja175;
The guys from dailyclimber seem decent enough, and I've bought something from them before. They have been admonished in the past for advertising their sales on rc.com. They also have a tendency to write up amusing and sometimes mildly controversial product summaries for their deal-a-days.
The second group is woody's holds themselves.
http://woodysholds.com/
They briefly had an account on rc.com, woodysholds, but that account was deleted, for spamming the same link (a story on their website about a veggie bus climbing trip) to multiple forums. As far as I can tell, these guys are only marginally linked to the dailyclimber guys by the fact that they have carried some woody's holds items on the dailyclimber website.
Lastly, you have 444rocks, who started this thread. Since it is his first and only post on rc.com, I assumed he was simply someone who found the dailyclimber.com listing offensive and decided to post here to bitch about it - hence the "is every rock climber an asshole" title. I seriously doubt this person is in any way affiliated with either woody's holds or dailyclimber, since both of those companies have been very open about saying who they are in the past.
It's up to you to decide whether you find the dec 29 daily deal wording to be offensive, but I wouldn't make any accusations that either woody's or dailyclimber were spamming, at least not in this case.
My point in all of this? It seems like people are jonesing to go on a witchhunt here, and the meatbombz and whatnot will surely take over before they get a chance, but I figure it worth my while to make sure there's one post with some actual facts and not random noise.
Oh, and for folks who aren't aware of it, the owned thread is here:
