Rhetorical. Thank you.

[sarettah]

I have seen the light.
Graham Alexander, is your board tracker going off
Because you always have so much constructive criticism and wisdom to contribute to a conversation I had to take to heart your comments in my recent threads about 2mooch. Initially they stung badly coming from you who I have always considered my reluctant mentor of sorts.

So, I looked back at some past posts, I looked at the current posts in an attempt to understand and to put some context to the enlightenment that you have been trying to pass on to me.

I think I finally see it oh great master.

In the past you have said such wise things as:

and of course who can forget:

As for "surfmasters". Their ain't no such thing except on Oprano. It is an insult to those starting off in this racket. If you want to insult those who will pay your rent someday, then just keep it up.

and finally:

(That is just a small sample of the past similar wisdom that you have attempted to bestow upon our undeserving minds. Thank you oh great one. May R_n always place blessings upon you)


But in the present context you imparted this directly to me:

Thus, I was confused for a while.

But I am confused no more. Hallelujah, I have seen the light. Oh thank you great master for imparting this wisdom upon my worthless, poor soul.

I finally understand !!!

It was not ok for people to rip off newbies in the old days.

But here we are in the new internet, web 2.0, where it is perfectly acceptable for people to rip off newbies because the new measurement of whether something is ok to do or not is whether it makes you more money.

So, it doesn’t matter if 2Mooch targeted newbies. It doesn’t matter if 2mooch showed a pattern of selling one thing to newbies but delivering another. It doesn’t matter if they consistently place all blame for newbies failure with thier program upon the newbie and never accept any responsibility for the situation themselves. After all, they made money and that is the measurement of success, isn’t it.

So, thank you oh Rhetorical almighty. I am taking your great wisdom to heart. I will not fail you oh mighty oracle.

I'm thinking that toolbar downloads would be a good place for me to start on my new path. Whatdaya think?

Dude, you are losing it. This post is rambling and makes no sense. Sorry, Sar, but your recent post history confirms all of this. Like I said, I used to respect your posts and actually thought they had value. But now I kinda shake my head and wonder why. I think it is the wisdom of age. So, ramble on, because I won't respond to this thread because it is useless as is your "wisdom".

I actually think your wibble postings were the height of your contributions to this fray. So you just cuddle up to Shelleehale, another bright spark, and damn the torpedoes.
Sayanara Sarettah. You enjoy your part time internet career and press on regardless.

[sarettah]

Ramble, ramble, ramble. Oh, I'm a rambling guy. Give me an r, give me an a, give me a mble. What do you got, ramble. (thanx Steve Martin)
I can't believe you didn't see that when you did the quote.... lololol
I will spell it our for you oh great one.

You are a hypocrite.

'nuff said.

I won't respond to Sar, but I will respond to you. I thought your financial question was really interesting since you said you owned a cottage on the seashore. Dude, you are another internet windbag. I know you are a blog expert, but you still don't make a pot to piss in. So, as in the case of Sarettah, I will not respond to you either. The herd is getting very thin.

LOL, oh yeah, dude you said I was on your ignore list. I knew all along you were paying attention. Busted.

The ONLY reason I see what you post half the time is because of vbulletin and their damn email subscriptions, which oprano did what MP does and pulls that part from the email, then I wouldn't ever have to worry about you again

but since you are putting words in my mouth I never said, I will respond

My financial question was not for myself, I have never had any credit cards, never plan to, I deal in 100% cash, if I don't have it, I don't spend it. My question was because someone close to me is in trouble, and I was curious as to what his options would be, since I have never, and will never, have to deal something like that

I NEVER EVER said I owned a cottage on the seashore, where in the FUCK did you get that? I said we are moving to Wilmington NC soon to live in the beach, but I would not be buying a place there, we move WAY too much to settle down anywhere

And just to clear things up for a sec, yes, I deal with a LOT of blogs, why do you find that so offensive? You bring it up like it is a bad thing, it just so happens to be my specialty, and frankly I am damn proud of it. Right now I am working with 10 different companies at once, all paying me to tell them what to do, on top of that I have 5 more companies paying me to set up an internal traffic network for them.

and just to be clear on 1 more thing, this is JUST the blog business I have going right now, I also own 3 other businesses with my partner that are pretty damn successful.

EVERY single business I run, aside from the blogs, WILL be bought out within 5 years, there is no question about it. Hell, you probably use one of the business I am co-owner in, LOL, but yet, I am sure you will find something to try and bait me with again, and again, one day, i will get baited and respond to ya, cause it is painfully obvious how much you hate it when I don't.
