- Lon, if someone called you a thief and a child molester in a public forum,
- wouldn't you be tempted to try to clear your name? Most of the
- "incessant yammering" is started because 1) someone asks an innocent
- question, 2) some rabid anti-MLM person jumps in with the pronouncement
- that all MLMs are scams and all MLM people are slime, 3) the MLM people
- say "Hold on a second here," and 4) it degrades from there.
-
- In the case of this particular discussion (the "Yup, Amway's a scam"
- thread), it started with an unprovoked attack. Most of the "incessant
- yammering" STARTS with the non-MLMers, NOT with the MLMers.
