Hey Rob....glad things are going well for you. I think the post you responded to may have been a bit convoluted. The only place your name is mentioned or referenced was in an email exchange between myself and one of your previous "independent contractors". He mentioned that he used to work for you and then outlined why he quit.......I mentioned that I knew you and liked you both. I also mention later in the email that you and Kerry are some of the owners that actually do make good money. Thats it. If you read it one more time, I think you will see what I am saying. Nothing defamatory.
The only reason I reprint that email dialog at all is that it best exemplifies my feelings about the business and in general....is pretty objective which used to be my posture. This is not my forum and I am certainly not the person who started this or others like it. You and I obviously have different personal opinions about the business and that is fine. I first started posting here to offer some objective insight to people because at the time, there were only two types of posts on these types of boards.
One being the dorks that came in for two days and "figured it all out", and called the business a scam.
The other were the idiotic Scentura posts calling everyone but themselves a "weak piece of shit" that needed to "get a job/life/etc...." I didn't agree with either of these positions so I posted a third honest, accurate, intelligent and objective perspective.
Little did I know that some of your colleagues would go ballistic and start viciously attacking me, my character, and my family. I don't respond well to that stimuli and have since taken a much more aggressive and negative posture with regard to my posts.
I have no personal beef with you and wish you and Ricki nothing but the best....but do you really want to discuss how many marriages vs. divorces the business creates??? BTW...It too met my wife in the business and have three wonderful children. The fact that I dated half the cute girls that came through my doors and was lucky enough to find one that would put up with me for all these years is not a testament to the business.
I do agree that some run their businesses cleaner than others and I'm am sure you are one of the best. That being said.....everything I have posted on this and other boards is truthful and honest and I am entitled to share my opinion. That is what these public forums are all about. Feel free to email me directly if you care to outside of this bulletin board.
