Why are There Too Many Censors At APSENSE?

p.s. I have topped the discussion because - whatever the original topic started out to say - it has developed into something very interesting and WORTH READING

Hooray for Garnet!! He's done it again!

A big gold star for the man who has reminded us all that we do not make money "off the internet" We make money selling products and services using the internet.

With the avalanche of "home businesses" everyone and his mother is selling opportunities!
Oppourtunities to do WHAT?? LOL

All this paid to read emails and paid to click on ads ,makes a total mockery of advertising. i advertise my product because I want to sell it - not because I want someone

Thanks Lynn.
All the more reason to behave like grown ups. If non members of Apsense can come here to check us out, we want them to see a responsible, well managed, professional group of internet marketers and online business owners.
that means
Quality discussions - not blatant ads!
Honest discussions - not bickering between each other!
Open discussions - where everyone can give an opinion and not worry that a personal attack will be made for doing so.

And I know it's hard with the writ

San,

You do not have to be a member to read discussions here at APSense. Unless of course it is a private group.

Lynn

Thanks Eric
You know it just all gets a bit much sometimes and it's easy to get caught up in it. I was in a particular opportunity where the forum was just everyone immediatley trashing anyone who didn't agree with what they said, or said something bad about the business. It doesn't make for good business sense.
If anyone comes to Apsense and reads the discussions here (btw, not too sure if that can happen,but I presume it can), they will be turned off by supposedly 'professional' networkers

Very good reply San. I must admit i do agree with what you said...

I guess in addition to what you said, we also need to show a certain amount of professionalism in what we do online (and offling, but especially online).

Like it or not, people are "mentally judged" by the way they present themselves.

Well, I was'nt going to comment on this for a number of reasons. But I'm a woman (no offence intended to other women) and I can't keep my gob shut. Been my downfall most of my life and I doubt I'll ever change.
This post was made I presume in response to the high number of anti spam posts that we have all seen so much of lately.
But instead of discussing the author's opinion (ie. that too many people are taking it upon themselves to be the watchdog for Apsense) instead the thread has been no

There are police on here? No way...lol

Sounds Good Cheryl...you'll be right in time for the mosquitoes..lol

Mo..I think your right, I'm outta here..later

Hi Monika & Wayne,

I don't know who'se been topping it - not me, but it's almost worth it
for the great comments from some of you! :-)

Um actually I think I'll schedule the boonies during the summer. I'm severely allergic to cold LOL!

If you spammers are paying attention I think you get my point by now!

Police?

Ha, ha, ha, I love it!

The communities of the world have police because of the elements in every society who refuse to respect the rights and opinions of others!

Here's your sign.....!!

Thanks for standing up and identifying yourself!

Now I don't know about the rest of you good people, but brother mike did make a good point... we need to get out of the way and stop trying to educate a closed mind! Especially one that is waaaayy above ours!

I, for one, am removing this

Well I have to laugh now..LOL..and I quote:

"People it's the internet"

"I have been earning off the internet"

Funny thing about the internet...it is impossible to earn a CENT off the internet!

However People buy things, and the internet just so happens to be a COMMUNICATION TOOL.

How nice of you to stop by and Communicate!

Still sound like an APSense Cop?

Hey(and I quote again!):

"lighten up. Smile a little more, Read a good book (the bible), enjoy life a little more, Tak

You can count us in Cheryl.:-)

It's on my agenda Eric! I'll Have to catch up with lot's of you good folks "Down Under"

Would be great to catch up with you if you make it to Aussie Land Cheryl...

OK, lets do it...

Lets drop all the rules for a week online and offline.

While we are at it, why not turn all the traffic lights off, remove emergency signs, let people decide which side of the road they want to drive on, eliminate drink-driving laws, make drugs legal... lets forget about rules altogether.

It will survive by NOT becoming a hotbed of spam and blatant advertising. That's a big problem I have with some other "social" networking sites which have degenerated into nothing more than everyone spamming everyone else. I have a business that I'm happy with, I really don't want to go to a social site expecting to get to know people and make contacts that can be mutually beneficial only to have everyone on my contact list sending me this site they want me to join them in or that biz op they

The Apsense Police Showed up like I thought. All this waisted energy and bandwidth. I have better way's to use my energy. With All the bad energy in apsense and don't know how this site will survive on the Net. So many uptight people in one place. People It's the Internet.

REPEAT AFTER ME : We all need to lighten up. Smile a little more, Read a good book (the bible), enjoy life a little more, Take up knitting, learn Feug Shui.

It's about relationship-building. It's important to build trust.
