FIB - Scams 101
After all these years, this curmudgeonly guru-wannabe is ...

well, still CURMUDGEONLY as ever!
Ok ... you'd have to have been around awhile ... you noobs most likely aren't likely to know to whom I'm alluding (but you can bet MawMaw knows :-)
Anyhoo...
He's still over there in his little safe-haven espousing his drivel. Lordy, you'd think he'd be an embarrassment to that site and the site-owner. (Not that there's much substance there to begin with)
He still gets up there on his high-horse ...snapping and sniping at people as unpredictably as ever.
Still has that all-important attitude, like he's a REAL "guru". But WHY? What
has he really done? What has he published? (Answer: nothing really . . . nothing of substance, anyway)After 10+ years, he hasn't changed...still a legend in his own mind.
NO NAMES HERE, Ladies & Germs...lest I incurr the wrath of MawMaw
(I think I detect a little grin on her face, though, 'cause I'm quite sure she knows who I'm alluding to) Sorry I had to resurrect memories of this particular TURKEY, but it *is* nearing Thanksgiving time...)And that unhealthy obsession with his idol/mentor is nothing short of creepy...what a load of BS
Okay, a little hint was just dropped there ... I'll bet only one or two of you got it
So he's dusted off the cyber-dust on one of his old "pet projects". And the forum ... LOL ... it's gonna reopen ...Oh just wait and see ... any day now...yeah, just you wai and see, but don't hold yer breath, folks.. And it's TOP SECRET, he proclaims! Already the threats begin: If you DARE divulge any of the top-secret content, he'll cut you down in one fell swoop!
What a joke--a legend in his own mind.
Of course, he stays in his little corner dropping names and trying to appear just SO intellectual, reducing the simplest, most mundane phenomena to formulaic folly. Maybe one day they'll bestow upon him an honorary "Pile it Higher & Deeper" Degree. THEN imagine him at the proverbial cocktail party. Egads!
Anyway, for those (probably very few) of you who have had the pleasure...yep he's still around, up to his old tricks (do they ever change?), still prancing around and preening his feathers like the proud (more like narcicisstic) peacock that he is...
I must admit I'd take a great deal of perverse pleasure in seeing him venture over to that BIG board. Oh, they'd run him out of there in no time! (After they first tarred and feathered him, of course). They's make mincemeat outta him!
Ah well, takes all kinds, as they say...

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| 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.

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.

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!!). |
