FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

I'm in the process of taking down the links to MaaMaw's Morsels, not because anything was wrong with it but because I "took stock" as a result of something that happened on my BBlowout site.
On BBlowout, I realized I was "holding back" on the blog (I don't have a bulletin board there, only the blog, so the blog is my priority).
Why?
Because I had a daily "tipzine" of sorts. I felt I couldn't put the best of the best in the blog because some people (darn few, but some) were paying for the information. Therefore, it wasn't fair to give it to some in the blog and sell it to some in the tipzine.
My choice was to cancel the tipzine, because in the long run, it will be to my advantage to build the blog and sell my other products.
So I felt it was a conflict of interest.
I'm giving MaaMaw's Morsels the ax for the same reason. (It's been in hibernation, but I was planning on waking it up this week.)
I know bzillions of people can handle this with absolutely no problem, but I can't. When I was going hot and heavy on MaaMaw's Morsels, I felt I was "holding out" on this board. I was always linking to something great on MMorsels -- but I felt I should be posting it here instead. I was promoting one at the expense of the other.
This board is my priority.
Dividing my loyalties doesn't work for me, although in an ideal world, one should complement the other and each should promote the other. It wasn't working that way.
Overall, I found blogging to be very time-consuming and not terribly rewarding. It was great fun -- but it wasn't doing FIB any good. As I said when I started it, I love "being in the thick of things"... but I can do exactly what I was doing on the blog right here on the board with people I enjoy. (Some boards are thriving communities, but I didn't see a lot of potential for that -- it was mostly me talking to me. Blecchh!!)
On BBlowout, I was thinking of doing a board too, but I'm sticking with one or the other.
Trying to do my best for both just wasn't workin'.
I'm really glad I didn't get involved in the blogging cooperative I was looking into. Geez! I'd hate to be locked into something like that!
I'd be interested to hear how other people are doing. Is blogging all you thought it would be??
Luv,
MaaMaw

| 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.

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.

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!!). |
