I just came from another message board where there were DAYS and DAYS of messages about Emerald Passport and Liberty League. It followed the typical pattern:
==> Somebody asked an honest question about EPI.
==> The answer came in the form of sales pitches by many different EPI recruiters.
==> Then some LLI'ers jumped in to tell everyone why EPI was bad and they were good, but of course they didn't let on they WERE LLI'ers, they just said they "had heard" this and that.
(You know how I hate to get derailed, but I have to say it -- isn't it cute how "Liberty Leaguers" abbreviated sounds like a stutterer saying "l-liars"?? Sorry. Carry on. Okay, thanx, I will.)
==> So anyhoo, this went on and on, and eventually it became clear the loudest LLI'er hadn't just "heard" about it -- he was an LLI'er himself who was hell-bent on convincing the Wannabes to sign up with him instead of the EPI'ers.
==> Of course there's a loud one in every bunch. I don't know the EPI'er, but the LLI'er was our own Tony Rush.
==> The conversation got nastier and nastier until Kimberly (remember Kimberly?) came in as the Voice of Reason.
==> That's when ol' Tony decided that if she could be so mature and polite, he could be too, and he vowed to follow in her footsteps.
==> And the saga continues (and repeats and repeats everywhere they don't get their hineys banned).
It's like a bloomin' soap opera. I can't wait for the next episode!
Luv,
MaaMaw
P.S. My personal opinion (not that you asked) is this: They're all a bunch of LLI'ers even if they're EPI'ers. No question some of them are making money and lots of it -- but that does NOT mean you will do the same. What it DOES mean is that when these two finally close up shop, get shut down, or collapse in on themselves, there will be carcasses EVERYWHERE.
Another P.S. if you don't mind: Have you ever noticed how people with 100% legitimate companies with NOTHING to hide don't waste their time in brawls about their company? They spend their time SELLING their products to CUSTOMERS who are looking for (are you ready for this?) their PRODUCTS -- not "opportunity seekers" looking for a way to get rich quick (a business selling a valuable product to people who don't want to join their downline? will miracles never cease?). Watkins and Kaeser & Blair come to mind...

| 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.

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!!). |
