> Hi MaaMaw
Hi Randall
> Now I hope you don't take this post off the discussion board....be fair
> now...ever heard of equal time...
Yes, I've heard of equal time. It doesn't apply here.
> below is what I posted on your discussion
> board before you removed it...
I didn't remove it. I love a good brawl. Alas, some of the moderators are more level-headed than I am.
> How come you don't allow freedom of speach?????
Because this is not a democracy.
> Can't we all just get along now MaaMaw???? Big Smile!
Big Smile to you too, Randall :-D
Now won't you ride along with me while I pick your theories apart one by one?

I do expect any and all comments about ANY online business. That's what my pinky is for -- to delete the ones I don't want here.
I already covered the First Amendment thing.

It does if my whole board is full of Emerald Passport hype (and I use the term "Emerald Passport" loosely; the same applies to any company).

Oh, but you're wrong. If I decide all I'm going to allow is discussions about whether a good sandwich has more peanut butter or more jelly, then I have the right to stop all other discussions.
Why? Because I grant myself that right.
Why? Because I payz da bills.

Oh Randall, hunny, if you only knew. I dearly LOVE my little corner of cyberspace! That's why I protect it like a mother bear protecting her cubs.
Right or wrong, if I think it's crap, then in *this* little chunk of cyberspace -- it's crap.
And I absolutely will *not* have people typing "crap" into Google and coming here to read more hype on the subject. There is *tons* of hype everywhere you turn.
When they come here, they're going to read the other side.

Thank you for the suggestion, but my board has been thriving since 1998. Maybe it isn't as dull as you think.

I'm so happy for you.

Not in the least.
Carry on.
Luv,
MaaMaw
P.S. One of the other rights I grant myself is to edit posts as I see fit. Your contact information has been removed from your posts. Like I said, we aren't promoting Emerald Passport here.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
