Who Died and Left You Boss

by Helen Smith Consultant

With the recent rash of attacks on the character of members. 

 

I am compelled to ask this question;  Who Died and Left You Boss?

 

Why is it that members spend their time waging campaigns against other members because they won't bend to their way of thinking.

 

We are here to market, and share ideas.  If someone does not like what is being posted, I believe there are steps you take to bring it to admins attention rather than trying to embarrass people in front of the community.

 

This does not make one knowledgeable, not does it endear you to members.

 

What it does is cost Wincer money!  I have downgraded my membership, and refuse to invite anyone here because I deal with professionals who are only interested in business related sites to build their business.  The garbage that goes on here is childish, and rediculous.

 

With a admin in place there is no reason for the self appointed scam police to spend their time doing someone elses job.

 

If you don't like something you have a CHOICE, not to join, not to like, report, or whatever you choose to do.  What you don't have is the right to malign someones character based on your ASSUMPTIONS!

 

Let's be the professionals we are, and allow others to find their way by offering valuable information based on research or experience, not PRECONCIEVED NOTIONS

Well Helen I have never posted anything based on Assumptions. And I willprovide the information from Third Party sources such as the FTC, FBI or other legal authority. And I was an admin until I stepped down today. I have a reputation to worry about and I also understand the law. I don't have to commit a crime. As an admin the only thing I had to do to be just as guilty as the scammers and spammers is to keep my mouth shut. And all I got for that was scammers and spammers attacking me, reporting me for abuse and whining because I dared to point out the spammers and scammers taking over the site and creating their paradise.

There are professional ways to deal with people. Verbal abuse and rudeness is not professional. Good article, Helen :)

Cheryl, you did the job you were placed to do, and even if members did not like it that was your position. I have no problem with anyone preforming the duties spelled out in their job description. As you know what I have a problem with is verbal abuse. We are adults, and as adults we can agree to disagree without maglining each others characters. For the record I started writing this before I knew you resigned,so it is not intended or implied that you are the subject of this article.

I do know you are through in your research, and to give you credit your articles are based on fact.

We HAD admins that were trying to work with their hands tied behind their backs. We were not empowered to carry out the tasks admins are expected to do. We asked to clean up the site. management agreed to clean up it never happened.

I know that Helen. And I have never seen you engaging in the behavior you mentioned. You have been nothing but professional.

Helen, far too many internet marketers are not adults. They are jealous little children who believe that the jam will be stolen off their bread - unless they steal it first.

Some of us are adults and can interact in an adult fashion - unfortunately interaction is not what most Apsense members want. As you so succinctly say, "We are here to market, and share ideas." I guess the social side of the site is simply a little top dressing?

I thank you very much for this Helen Smith. I am a little standoffish because of the battles that have been going on. Even when comments are posted on articles that are blatant dis-regard for the person posting and dragging this war through everyone here. I believe that to be a form of spam and that is just pitiful. Those involved should really be ashamed. It's just not right! I really hope this post stops this once and for all! Best post in quite awhile and serves a great purpose!

Hi Helen, I am not going to pretend I know what this is all about or that I have read every single article or comment in this recent "rash of attacks on the character of members". What I am going to say is that there is NO ONE on APSense who endures more "attacks" or "verbal abuse" than the site admin...not even close!! Yes there is more than one way to do things and varying opinions on what is acceptable posting on social networks and so on, but having personally been 1 of perhaps thousands of individuals who have attacked admin in the past but perhaps one of the few who talked it through and learned something, well, is it remotely possible admin is simply trying to help??

Today is not a good day for Apsense, had I known what was going on I would not have posted this article today. I have been here long enough to think of you all as my APsense family, and I am going to say here what I say when my biological family gets into a upheavel.

Let's talk about it, and pray about it. We are family, and families have disagreements, but they don't stop being family. To walk away is extreme. In families what goes on is discussed the miscreants are put on the pay you know mind list, and life goes on. At the end of the day we are still family. What I personally think is there is a snake in the hen house! Some one is doing a lot of whispering. In other words throwing the rock then hiding their hand. Follow your own counsel, and do the right thing. Don't listen to this person or persons, because they are following their own agenda and don't have your best interests at heart.

I truly wish we had a thumbs up thumbs down Helen because your last comment deserves a thumbs up. You have indeed pinpointed the problem.

the issue is Cheryl that I think Helen and the others are looking in the wrong direction.

This is a lesson in life. Apply the "don't like it, don't get involved" and you'll be much happier.

That is the part of the comment that Helen made that is completely and undeniably the problem.

Thank you for bringing these issues up Helen. It has been a very turbulent last week or so. Things got really heated up over here. A lot of members were wondering what is this? What is going on? Was the sky going to "fall down" on Apsense? God forbid. Thank God the turbulence seems to have diminished in intensity and "violence"
