Do you think it's because biz has slowed down? Or the Holiday spirit? My Gosh!
I can imagine to the responses here, but you'll see actually what I'm talking about. Someone needs to bring this up! |
I'm a relative noob so no one cares what I think but I'll second what you're saying. However, I was thinking about this yesterday. Just about every single day I shake my head at what someone wrote, or some scamming hidden cross-seller pimping his program, or someone getting banned or a thread getting deleted....but you know what.....I come back to this board more than any other. So, it's sort of a love hate relationship. I do get business done here. I've recruited affiliates, I've found good quality sponsors, I've purchased links, I've found good designers, purchased templates, etc. The drama and negativity are just an amusing side-story. So, rather than complain about it, I just shake my head at it and chuckle to myself a bit and move on and don't let it affect my day.
I have found that the best thing one can do is to always be professional, never cast accusations unless you have documented proof, never respond to those baiting you, always make posts that at least took 10 seconds of thought and stay out of the threads that have drama written all over them unless you have some time to kill and are looking for some drama. In which case the drama thread really deliver.
Good to meet you by the way. I don't think we've ever crossed paths.
