Discussion Boards

COMMENTARY FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY (THE BROWNIE BAKER) (YOUR HOST) (AFTER SHE GOT HER EYEBALLS STUFFED BACK INTO HER FACE)

Dear, dear Jodi Saloga.... I find it so very VERY *VERY* odd that you say...

"I was going thru looking at all the message boards out there, there are two other boards I found with discussion messages. One of them is called...."

and you go on to name an MLM board on which I immediately found the following subject line:

"Is anyone else sick of the ongoing EPI (Emerald Passport) vs LLI debate here?"

Bear with me while I quote a line from the body of said message:

" If you look through this board, about the only topics on here are LLI vs EPI. While I know its a hot topic because they are competitive programs... I'd like some new threads to start up."

Is it possible that board is being quietly turned into an Emerald Passport recruiting station? (Where have I seen that phenomenon before?)

Moving on...

The ONLY other message board you could find "with discussion messages" happens to be the brand new one started up by the woman who seemed determined to turn this board into her own private EPI recruiting station.

About said board you concluded:

"(it) seems to be more open-minded and accepting to other peoples businesses, while it is more insight-related material."

Then you asked us:

"What are some other thoughts of these two boards in some other opinions??"

My question to you, dear Jodi Saloga of IP#24.20.166.4, would be this:

Why do you need to know our opinion of these two boards? No one needs an "opinion" on this kind of thing. You either like it or you don't. It's a personal decision.

And if you need our opinion, why did you say this on the brand new board?

"it will be great to get to see more open minds out there in regards to working from home, in whatever you feel comfortable with.... I look forward to being able to visiting this forum often... We are all here to assist everyone else!"

Maybe I misunderstood your comment. Maybe you really haven't decided if that particular board is worth your time or not.

CAN ANYONE HELP THIS LADY OUT AS SHE WRESTLES WITH HER DECISION?

=================

If you weren't so obviously attempting to promote "the brand new discussion board," I would have to conclude you were a complete idiot when you say you only found two discussion boards out there with "discussion messages."

For anyone genuinely interested in finding other ACTIVE and RESPECTED discussion boards that exist to "discuss" and not to "promote," you might want to visit Tony Blake's board, or the Sowpub board, or Willie Crawford's board, to name just three of many.

If your interest is MLM, you'll find a thriving board at mlm.com (although they don't exist to promote Emerald Passport, but hey, why should they, because EPI isn't MLM, is it? it's "direct sales").

In closing, I would like to say that your blatant promotion of Kimberly's board isn't even well done. It is completely transparent, and you just made a ninny of yourself.

You know what's even funnier???? The post on the other MLM board you mentioned -- the one by James D' -- says, "I know EPI is a hot topic, but..." and signs off with a reference so HIS brand new discussion board (which also happens to be Kimberly's brand new discussion board). Hmmmmm. Could he be trying to lure people to his own board?

Since you only found TWO boards with "discussion messages" and he's trying to take traffic away from one of them, I think we're in real danger here! I think it's conceivable that the rest of the internet could become a ghost town!

Luv,

MaaMaw

P.S. You know the sad part? If Kimberly had made any effort to become a member of this little FIB community WITHOUT promoting Emerald Passport every time she opened her mouth, and WITHOUT attacking us for our "negativity," and WITHOUT attempting to control every conversation she became involved in -- (get this! big revelation coming up!) -- I would have been HAPPY to announce her board AND to send people there, as I have done with many other new boards in the past. Believe it or don't.
