YankeeJim:
BHenke2: My main issue was this person went back and deleted their comments from these club members profiles like they were trying to cover their tracks and be sneaky about it.
This is actually diligent on his part.
I would agree with the OP... it seems sneaky and deceptive...
If the person wanted to send a private message, they could just as easily send a personal message after sending a friend request and being accepted.
It may still come across a bit underhanded and if he wasn't willing to post something in public they should not have done so to begin with. Hence the appearance of a deceptive act.
That said, if I have read and understood the comments by various club owners... poaching members from other clubs is considered extremely bad form.
