Where Do I Sign Up?

By QBlog in

Look, I know quite a few IBOs and most of them are great people. They work hard, build their business and do so with integrity and honor. Sure, we may disagree on some issues but isn't that what makes life so exciting? Being able to debate issues and still be respectful?

So at around 2:17 p.m. today I received this message in my Form Mail (which can be sent using a bogus email):

subject: Quixtar Blog
name: bravo
email: johny_bravo_667@hotmail.com

message: Long time no hear. The only way you can deal with me is to block posts. That's ok, cause you are being stopped. People will not see your little negative site for much longer. I see it is already affecting you! That little deal you posted about the help desk and all. You sound angry? How is your 400lb gay friend Scott that was in business for 1 month? You are a loser! I also knew it would get out that you are getting paid to run this site. You are losing control and we are getting stronger! Bye BYe
Bravo!

Fascinating. Where do I sign up for this Quixtar thing? If Mr. "Bravo" is in any way representative of Quixtar IBOs then it's a wonder there aren't more around.

I won't even bother responding to this. Those who wish to give such fabricated vitriol a moment's consideration aren't worth my time. The tone of the email is clearly a threat meant to intimidate me. That's fine. I can take it. What I don't understand is why the rank and file IBOs aren't more outspoken about such animosity. Anyone have an idea?

Finally! Broke Loser attacks! I was starting to get spoiled by the pro-Quix around here.

I don't think rank and file IBOs come here. As before, the lack of web savvy. Few know what is done in their name, unfortunately.

heya, just reading your blog/moblog and thought I should mention, textamerica own everything you put up there. Check out term 17 of their T&C's.
check out www.moblog.co.uk
they have a texatamerica moblog import app that grabs all your ta images and moves them across so they cant make money off you anymore

It's nice to see the basement boy from Michigan (Qrush) rear his ugly head in here. I think he's been watching Harry Potter too much.

"You are losing control and we are getting stronger!"

Are you gathering all the "Death Eaters" and combining forces with Voldemort to take over the world? LOL!!

Qrush, put away the Dungeons and Dragons, the Play Station, and the Matrix movies. Come back to reality.

How do you defend this man, Chris?

Eric,
I appreciate battling wits with you every week and would like to wish all my new friends at Qblog a happy thanksgiving. As for JohnnyBravo if you are even real why don't you lighten up. When Qrush calls people names it is in fun to make a point. I do not hate anyone and am actually enjoying myself greatly. Battle on concepts not hatred Johnny. Gotta go eat some turkey have a great day.

Tammed indeed.

I think I really did hear a whip crack in the background! It was faint.. as if far off... in the distance....

I can offer a reason why the rank and file IBOs do not speak out against comments made by such people as Johnny Bravo:

The classic 'broke loser' attack is not really designed to bring the anti-Quixtar crew on side; it is designed to give current IBOs a fear of quitting Quixtar.

An IBO considering quitting will think twice when he fears being branded a broke loser by those who are still in Quixtar. Such fears of quitting will be exacerbated if the vast majority of the IBO's friends and acquaintances are inside Quixtar - after he has already dismissed his friends who would not join as 'broke losers with jobs'.
