I acknowledged that folks can make a lot of 'money' (won't go so far as defining it as 'good') on Ponzi's and scams.

So long as eDave profits, I will not concern myself with the mass majority of people who WILL LOSE. Screw them, they don't hang around this forum anyway?

In all our tiffs I have never accused you of being dumb. Of course it's a 'money shuffling' game. You automatically pull posts of the same variety ($6 chain letter anybody?) Why are you accomodating this poppycock?

Irrelevant to the issue of DXgold. They smile in your face, all the while trying to take your place...the backstabbers. Good thing I don't seek a careet as a conman since likability is a huge ASSET in that game. After all, you've got to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their back on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in. I call 'em like I see 'em with no regard to how it will affect my favorability ratings. Suffice to say I've never been popular with the crooks and scammers. I've learned to live with that burden.
> eDave is NOT a troll.
eDave still has a vested interest (according to your info) in seeing the eCrazies chase their tails. I'll defer that he's not a troll on your word, but I don't think he's an unbiased observer of facts in regard to this dizzop since he still stands to profit as long as it is perpetuated.
McMillian and I both see the parallels between the 'almost ready to launch' PRSI (and Going Platinum for those that follow such). The 'they've been around for 4 years' vrs. 'they're not really even a company yet' ought to be a HUGE FLAMING INDICATOR OF SCAMITOSITY.
Enjoy.

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. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration. 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!!). |
