I am at a loss today...
Seems like there has been a fair bit of debate around the community lately, almost seems as though some people would rather compete with each other than help each other. I have even seen some pretty childish bickering and complaining between members, for whatever reason, thats between them and they should keep it that way. When we compete we all lose.
Now, I ain't perfect, much as I'd like to be, and my remarks may seem competitive too, really they are just my opinions, attempts at real conversation if you will. If we need to challange anyone, it should be ourselves, our own ways of thinking. Don't think for one second my thinking hasn't been challanged here at apsense, it has and continues to be, and I love it!
Back to whats really bothering me, what made me come home from work during my lunch break just so I could get this off my chest already. The wining and complaining I have seen lately is enough to drive me up the wall. I don't care whether it's that someone isn't topping blogs, or someone isn't leaving comments, someone isn't taking the right action or whatever. Complaining proves nothing! It just gets everyone fired up, thinking in a negative fashion, and guess what, nobody's happy! You know, apsense was pretty awesome before all the bells and whistles that we now have were added. If all people are going to do is complain about how people use these features maybe we should just lose them. THE ONLY ACTION WE SHOULD BE TAKING IS INSPIRED ACTION, PERIOD! I'm sorry but the negativity of it all is driving me over the edge. The thing that makes this community great is the people, the people are the one thing that can decide: Do we make it great, or do we tear it down and destroy it just to serve our own selfish desires?
So, if you want to top or drop this, whether you want to leave a comment or not, no matter what you think of me, WHATEVER, Tell Me or Don't, I DON'T CARE! even if you think I'm a total jerk, it doesn't matter. I'm looking for enlightened, real discussion from forward thinking people. I will not disregard any remarks, good or bad, just be prepared to deal with my honest feedback, and just maybe together we can grow into some magnificent!

Good blog, thanks. I think a lot of the debate is just the equivalent of office politics, except that Apsense is our office. Hopefully once the venting is done we can move onwards and upwards, just as you suggest.

I totally agee with you too on all counts...the news is where we all can find enough drama to last a lifetime...why would anyone have the need to create more? Beats the heck out of me! It's all VERY childish, if you ask me! I'm alot like you in that regard...if you don't want to know...don't ask me! The truth may hurt sometimes, but...the truth shall set you free!
I'll take my time too...I believe we as people can be our worst emimy a lot of the time...in this case they are. The auguing will ge

Hi Garnett,
What you are saying is very true and is happening. Negativity breeds contempt.
Positivity is required to get positive results. What are new marketers or someone trying home business for the first time what will they think, what will be there impressions? We need to give out positivity to get back positivity. I beleive the owners are committed and will do what they can. I believe they are reasonable people and deserve credit where credit is due.
I personally want more positivit

Cathead,
I hear you as far as the copy and paste biz ops goes, but the rubbernecking??? If I want drama I'll turn on the news. These actions are simply uninspired people seeking to get a rise out of others for the sake of publicity, they are only hurting themselves and dragging everyone else down with them, they are causing the trainwreck! If I wanted to take the easy way out, I would act like a total moron, write a bunch of total crap, and magnetically attract a bunch of losers to my netw

Well, personally, I find all the drama to be a very refreshing change from the copy and paste biz ops, apsense how to's and help, and the other garbage that killed this place. I really wish I had the time to participate and encourage it more *grinz*
I'm sure most everybody secretly shares my opinion and lovez rubbernecking this train wreck too LOL
Well I'm tagging you too, like the fishie, so I guess you gotta read 10 blogz now LOL, sorry
Have a Great Weekend,

THANK YOU GARNET!!
This newbie was starting to wonder what she had gotten herself into and if Apsense was like this all the time. I was beginning to wonder if it was worth it and if I should even continue to pursue writing here at Apsense. Thank you for clearing this up for me and helping me to understand that it is simply growing pains and things will clear up and I should continue and press forward.

Hey Garnet,
've always been under the impression that this is where people help people.
But, I have seen some threads from some folks who seem to be "Holier Than Thou" which kind of negates the spirit of this network.
Most of us here are great people to deal with,
so don't get discouraged by the attitude of a few.

You must have read my mind, I woke this morning and like every day l take a walk down to the lake then l shower and read my emails and check out what is happening on here.
The first blog l read, messed up my day and my mind l felt the same way as you do at this moment and being thing about what l read and how senseless reading it really was. That was the only blog l read this morning and l though about most of the day and one time felt like writting a couner blog, BUT why would l want to low
