The Real Problem With APSense IMHO
I've been making a few observations here at APSense and have come to the conclusion that the real problem with this site has absolutely nothing to do with the owners decisions, nothing to do with groups, nothing to do with the direction the site is headed but everything to do with CONTROL. You see, we have several control freaks on this site that believe GOD went on vacation and left them in charge.
I expect a lot of flack from these personalities but I can handle them only because I was in the Mental Health field in another life, I'm not trying to diagnose anyone this is just an observation. You see, control freaks don't actually mean any harm they're just afraid. They attempt to control everything and everyone around them due to pure fear. They feel that if they can get you to their level of fear and anxiety that they have control of a situation and they couldn't be further from the truth.
They try to gather support for their little goals of control and unsuspecting people will just join in having no idea that they're playing along with this paranoid neurotic behavior, my personal thoughts are, if you have a problem with APSense as a whole and I don't, you always have a choice. In fact 3 choices to be exact:
1. Go somewhere and create your own site
2. Try to understand that the site is not yours and you call no shots but suggestions are always welcome.
3. Take your venom elsewhere and get the hell out.
This post could possibly get me banned but my motto is, there was a time when I didn't know APSense existed and somehow I survived, so do your worst. Never forget, if you throw a rock in a crowd of people, the only one that will hollar is the one who got hit.

WOW. I remember writing one a little similar to this one back a few months ago (i've since deleted it, so as to not cause any more conflict). So i know exactly where your coming from Paul. But since I wrote that article, I thought things have calmed down a bit in the reguard in which your speaking. But then again, I dont spend as much time here getting into all the DRAMA any more.. seems a waste of my time, when all I want to do is market. All the other stuff is caused by boredom in my opinion.

MY, MY, MY, This is what I am talking about! Paul wrote an article with NO NAMES, yet everyone assumes they know who he is talking about. Which indicates to me that everyone has had the same feelings at some time or another.(lol) At any rate there is truth in what you all say, however because you have authority does not mean you berate people, call them names, our launch a campaign against them, because you don't like their way of doing things! Wincer has provided us with a platform like no

Thank you all, including you@ Dave and you're right, in the beginning I did side with the issue until I had a minute to figure things out in my own mind. If you think I'm a snake and want to ignore me that's your choice, and although I may not agree with you, I'll defend your right to say it to the death. @Paula, if you think I've insulted you in any way I apologize.

Paul, the way you wrote the article, there were no names or roles, that was a good choice.

First of all this post is very insulting. Second the admins have the duty to monitor posts to make sure the rules for posting are followed and to help improve quality of APSense by fighting scam and spam. Third admins are entiteld to express their personal opinion.

Hi Paul, I can appreciate your article or should I say editorial expressing your views. This is always a good thing and always help get people thinking about being their own person. I understand your thoughts behind this article. I once wrote a song about this process of life and a line from that simply reads. "Changes happen, the old never stays the same" I have been here before and believe me change does strange things to people. I am not controlled by anyone and always stay true to that. Onc

Before the last upgrade wincer requested for suggetions and all my suggetions he implemented like alertpay payment option. And many more. Well you have expressed your mind and wincer already ask for your suggections now.
Let control remain as it is to avoid scam and spam.
So if you have someone whose activities towards your posts you dislike you can block him/ unsubcribe contact
or make yourself clear.

Thank you both for your comments, I'm just glad we can dialog about this matter sensibly and like adults. I don't expect my personal opinions to be written in stone and I take the heat for everything I write but I personally believe that without LAW there is chaos, anything else is Facism.

This is a good read Paul - and, as you pointed out, may cause a bit of controversy as members may have sharply opposing opinions. My opinions are more or less like those of Ian's (ianb1970)

wow...I am really Impressed with the way Wincer Song handled this, I hardly see him Comment, Maybe because of my level of activity, But his expression is simple and clear!...@Paul... Yes I get your point and I understand to some extent what you are Trying to say... But it's said that when there is no law,. there is no Sin....Just do your own thing, the owner has given you his words of what you can do on his site. it's normal to have CONTROL, Like @Paula said, WITHOUT CONTROL THERE IS CHAOS!....s

This article is the perfect example of what you had in mind for apsense Wincer. Paul has valid points just like anyone else here, and is allowed to express them freely. At the same time we are all building our own network space and helping others build theirs. Thanks for keeping the doors open for suggestions..

In my mind APSense is always freely for discussion, sharing your stories or tips, connecting to new friend you may meet here, but the scamming programs are strictly prohibited here. You can build your own network space at APSense, including your own business center, your own groups, even your own business pages. In the feature we will highlight quality content every week. Now don't hesitate to send your suggestions to me.

I kind of agree with your comments Paul, However, I have to go to the side of the people I suspect you are aiming this article at. In my time here at apsense I've seen these people working hard, helping others and trying to keep the site clean and free of spammers and the like..I don't see this as Neurotic Behaviour Paul, more like simply dealing with the reality of what apsense "could" become without some sensible controls. I know they are doing this for the good honest members here, of which
