Join The Discussion On The #1 Marketing Forum On The Planet!

C'mon, Theo, get with the program!!

besides the OP being banned for something its been one of the better threads I have seen around for a long time for the discussion that arose out of it.

That's not really allowed on the main forum these days Kay.
The usual cronies start crying "negative" or "haters"
Anyone with an opinion that doesn't fit in with the "dream"
is discouraged from commenting.

Except threads down here are supposed to be silly and crazy.

Often a completely innocuous thread down here is just a pretense to lure people into an uncomfortable relationship with Claude.

But threads upstairs usually (should) have a point and that one went off the rails more than usual for the main discussion forum. I mean it went from questioning the OP's success on Clickbank to arguing whether one is a responsible father and what health insurance costs.

I was actually surprised how vocal wolfmmiii got. He has been around here a long time and I've never seen him go off like that.

We are agreed there and the fact that people are even answering such a post makes them worse than the OP (some of which are kids or can barely speak English). On most forums people wold just ignore it and let the thread die. That could go on for two pages based on some threads I have seen in the past.

Meh you are going back to your old stand by that if something rubs you the wrong way that you don't like its rude or abrasive. Whats rude about asking someone if they intend to do something until they are 70? I know friends and family that would ask me stuff likaethat. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Well.

A) You are misrepresenting the context. Post 65 mention being 20 year olds and then Wolfmii stated another 20 something thinking he knows it all (not all) - and yeah there are some 20 somethings that think they know it all - newflash! - you won't know it all even in your 40 somethings.

B) It would help. What? are we supposed to ignore that a lot of people who get sucked into the IM dream, easy money aren't young and wet behind the ears? I think IM MMO attracts them like sugar does flies precisely at a time when they are vunerable and also the time when they could get started making something of themselves. I'll say it . I know very few 19 years olds in The US mature enough to choose IM for a lifetime. I do know other cultures where you mature (and have to ) a whole lot faster but seriously is going around buying up WSOs and doing click bank advertising some incredible sign of maturity?

Sorry but you are all complaining simply because a poster was strongly injecting a reality check into a thread. Should have more not less. Especially since we know darn well this is a fake it till you make it prone business.

Serious questions - Don't you think having a climate where people don't inject reality into IM is part of its problem? How can you not see that?

Au contraire Kay. I know no such thing. Don't try to play mind reader so you can indirectly insinuate dishonesty on my part. I know you were misrepresenting because the 20 something came from the context of 20 being brought up before by someone besides Wolmii

And how many are living off that and IM? You've completely taken it out of its financial security context.

Of course it can be negative if in fact it turns out they can't support themselves and loved ones around them down the line. Thats the whole point Wolfmii was making and you missed it Did you even read his other posts? his issue is people giving up their jobs before they have established a continuity of success and are able to do so safely. Its what more than one set of parents have told their kids and been right when they have to pick up the phone and call mom and dad to help them or move back home. Life isn't a Disney movie where by golly "as long as you are living your dream that you put in your head its going to be okay"

And no you can't tell anyone how to live and they can do as they wish but its a forum and a poster is entirely within his right in a discussion to point out the dangers it may hold for the person and others.

Valid issue on a business forum. Short term success vs long term is completely legit discussion no matter what you think. Business 101 consideration as to profitability and viability. Saw no rules we can only discuss short term strategies or consider only momentary success. Sorry some old timers here think they have back seat modding credential they don't have. Further this is the nonsense that has launched a hundred shaky WSOs. "I did this and it will make you two thousand dollars like it did me" (when the person already knows it has diminishing returns why they are selling the idea in a PDF for $9.97)


and Kay that would be a perfectly decent counter point for discussion rather than whining that people shouldn't have different opinion than the one you hold to and if they do they are being rude.
