Thanks, Education, and "Paul Joseph"

In Response To: Pelt me with rotten brownies, but I agree to some extent... (MaaMaw)

Well, I know I said I wouldn't respond to the thread, but I have to say 3 things.

1. Thanks, MaaMaw for your post. I actually didn't expect that, to be honest. I actually didn't expect you to even reply. I did expect that you might delete the thread, though, if you took it as an attack on Jim Wilson.

2. I do not despise education at all. But I do despise people who tend to steer others in the wrong direction too often and try to credit themselves as legit and "knowing what they are talking about because they have an education (or they are pursuing one) or even using other types of status that they hold to make their bad advice seem like it is legit. As I stated before, I myself have a post-secondary education so I would be a hypocrite to even pretend that I despise education. Education is good but shoving it and other things in other people's face for what seems to be an invalid or a self-serving reason is wrong, IMO.

3. I would love to know why Jim Wilson thinks my name is fake. However, more importantly, it would be interesting to know why he thinks my "real name" is Paul Joseph. I know I'll never get an answer on this, because even if/when Jim figures out that he is wrong, he will never admit it because he will still think my real name is not the one I state. I think he wants to try to get on my nerves to the point where I might "fess up" (or maybe even leave the forum). But there is nothing to "fess up" other than my street address and phone # and other personal details which is really nobody else's business unless I decide it is.

I did a search on the name "Paul Joseph" and I still couldn't find any info that would lead me to the reason why Jim thinks that is my real name and that Bluto Samartino is not. Oh well, maybe there was another blunt and senselessly bashed FIB poster in the past that went by the name Paul Joseph. I don't know but I did scan the archives and came up empty-handed.

Bluto Samrtino
AKA Paul Joseph, too. LOL

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!!).
