In Response To: What does originality have to do with anything, let alone the truth? (Bob Baroner)

>> When folks use the "originality" card to discredit someone who is telling a truth is totally irrational and the sign of the inability to cope with defeat.<<

You mean like you use the "you're ignorant" thing to discredit me? The originality comment was made in regard to this statement by Tony: "You have no idea what you are talking about." My point is that it's not really original to just say you're stupid and I'm smart so that means I'm right.

>> And then to boot the person playing the originality card makes claims about herself that are so far fetched. How can you take a person like that seriously?<<

Here we go again Bob. Mock me because I'm successful. You can't get over that fact, can you? It would be so much easier for you if I'm a loser. Guess what? I'm not!!!! I'm a highly successful entrepreneur.

>> The FACT of the matter is that there are, IN FACT, many companies that sell product and services that choose the MLM method as their marketing model that are not cults or cult-like and do not engage in any unethical practices or selling substandard products just to make it look like they focus on selling products.<<

Because companies engage in MLM does NOT mean that it is a good business model for the people in the MLM.

>>Those who deny it have no clue and those that use the "originality" card to try to try and discredit the truthsayer is, well, in all honesty, the sign of a person that knows they have been defeated but cannot yet cope with it, especially publicly. <<

Except you're not arguing the point. The point is not whether MLM exists. THe point is not whether people can sell products via MLM. The point is not whether anyone profits via MLM.

The point I have been making all along has been whether or not MLM is a good business model for the participants, and the answer is NO. You have proven nothing, other than MLM exists and people participate in it.

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        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!!).
