Dien (sowpubs owner) says that he is not in on it with Don. The only thing I know is he says that he deletes posts becasue of the No attack policy. I have asked him why he allows Don to post his obvious blatant ads and his was that it is because he also supplies info that is useful to the board in such posts. My posts are acctually not deleteted, instead they are never seen as I am on administrative watch, where he can decide if my stuff is worthy of being seen. Not certain if the things I have found would be PROOF in any court in the land, but would certainly make people think twice before trusting Don 100%. Not certain if it is ethical of Don direct people to a board to gain the trust of potential purchasers of his Biz opps, when He knows full well that any thing written negatively will be zapped. Does this mean that Dien is in his back pocket, NO! It does however show that Don has found a person willing, for whatever reason, to zap negative posts about him thus allowing him to use the board as HIS testimonial page. I don't really think Dien is being paid money from Don for this service, but it is the only board that Don hangs out at. People hang on the edge of their seats waiting for the next story Written by Don. I am not certain why, maybe it gives the people that WANT to be in business for themselves hope. Don is a great story teller and I do find his interesting and as Dien has pointed out to me, I have gained from a post of his. He posted about business cards a few times and it got my brain thinking..... I developed a market for these cards, and have turned a buck or 2 from it. I read through the fluff of how he has 2 (I think) people out every day making $800/day. here is the link
http://www.sowpub.com/cgi-bin/forum/webbbs_config.pl/read/24921
I know he was full of it becasue just a short time earlier (about a month) he was asking on the board for a source of these cards.here is that link
http://www.sowpub.com/cgi-bin/forum/webbbs_config.pl/read/24220
If he had been doing this for a while, wouldn't he already have a source.
So did learn anything from Don about the business cards, I guess he mentioned business cards and those 2 words got me thinking about a better market for them.
There is not guilty not guilty verdict in either of the above links, just Don being Don. I too love his "stories" they are quite entertaining, just not stories of a person who has "been der done dat"
Thanks,
Jason

| 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.

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!!). |
