So if you would like to be a part of this, please feel free to email
me. If you think i should remove the ads, i will.

You are completely missing the point.

The problem isn't the ads per se. They are simply the underlying motive
that shows why you felt a need to lie about the nature of your relationship
to the web site. The real problem is that you lied about the nature of your
relationship to the web site.

Writing articles takes time. Making them available on a web site costs
money (even if it's only a small amount). More power to the blogger who can
defray his costs by including unobtrusive ads in their web site. I've got
nothing against that.

Had you posted something like "I've written some articles in my blog that I
think would be of interest to you all, here's the link", that would've been
okay, even with the ads (especially if you acknowledged the web site is
ad-supported). But the moment you misrepresent the true nature of the site,
you've crossed the line to unacceptable behavior.
