Monday Reader Mail: 39
By QBlog in Reader Mail
I love Reader Mail. Here's another. As always, my comments are in bold.
name: matt m.
date: April 6, 2005
message: I'm sure you've been asked this a million times, but I can't help noticing that you say you started this Quixblog, so potential IBO's could get more information, help them make decisions, that none of your motives are to hurt Quixtar. Yet, as far as I can see, everything I have read on your site is negative. What gives?
What gives is that you haven't read much of the site.
You seem to be falsely telling people that nothing here is meant to be biased, yet again, everything is negatively biased.
You're right. By the way, did you know cigarettes kill, driving without a seatbelt is dangerous and the ACLU has a political agenda. Oops, being negative again.
I understand that you are telling people that this is all just one man's perceptions, but please give people the opportunity to see everyones perceptions, not just the negative ones. You say in your statement that you don't hate or love Quixtar, well come on, share with us some of the things you think are good about Quixtar, we've certainly read all that you don't like. If you need some help there, I'd be happy to lend a few lines...
Sincerely,
matt m.How bout this. You start blog, a real blog, and spend a few months posting the "positive" about Quixtar and I'll link it on my blog. Deal?
I don't expect people to read the entire blog archives before sending in comments but I do expect some deference when those archives haven't been fully digested. Maybe something along the lines of "from what little I've read, it seems that such and such" or "I've only read three posts but..." Matt M. makes sweeping statements about this blog and obviously hasn't read much, if any, of the archives.
Anyway, it's not a big deal to me either way, just a suggestion.
Comments
Matt M>please give people the opportunity to see everyones perceptions, not just the negative ones.
Imran> Huh?
1) Is this blog author or a particular person has to GIVE that ooportunity? Start a site, blog, forum, who is stopping you?
2) ANY one is allowed to participate here via comments feature and forum. In fact pros have been and still are participating there. Every one is welcome.
3) Participation went on further level in March of perception. There have been some uh...pros posting in the main blog.
I'm quite confused. Which blog Matt is talking about? Has he ever seen comments section or Forum? Did he not see MArch of Perception?
Last time I heard it was Quixtar who requires their IBO to get approval first to post some thing online.
WOW!
For once we can agree on something! I'd never thought I'd see the day...
Matt M,
I suggest you start taking a look at the links page on the sidebar===>
About half of those links are pro quixtar!
DMM and Imran is right! As much as I like to argue with them on the pro's and con's of quixtar, they still let me post. Not guaranteeing they'll ever let me win,LOL!
When information is exchanged in an open arena, everyone wins Michael.
BTW, saw your new blog. Lookin' good.
Thanks Rocket!
I am enjoying blogharbor better than blogger- more cool features. If you want to email me any suggestions, let me know!
I don't see why anyone who doesn't want to complain about this blog do so in the "comments" section. It's why you allow comments QBlog. It promotes an open dialogue and if people want to see or tell the positive side of the story, they have the ability to do so.
In addition, there is also this thing called the QBlog Forum. There is actually a Quixtar Positive section to said forum! If you have something positive to say, you have your own platform to do so and you don't even need to start your own blog! Sure if you post on the comments or the forum you will more then likely get competing opinions, but if you can back your opinion up with facts, most people here are understanding and willing to dig deeper to get the whole story.
