MY RESPONSES HAVE BEEN POSTED IN CAPS ONLY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN
DARA'S STATEMENTS AND MY RESPONSE.
: Shannon,and anyone who wonders..
: Not everyone knows about the Henna page-or any other forums on the
: internet and many people still do not have computers to access
: information!
MANY PEOPLE DO HAVE COMPUTERS AND ACCESSING THE PAGE FOR $5 FOR 15
MINUTES IN AN INTERNET CAFE IS FAR CHEAPER THAN ANY PAY PER MINUTE
SERVICE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I AM INTERESTED IN INFO BEING SPREAD
CHEAPLY BECAUSE I SEE RAISING AWARENESS AS A KEY TO KEEPING THE ART
ALIVE. I DON'T SEE PAY PER MINUTE PHONE CALLS AS GOOD OR PROFITABLE
WAY TO DISSEMINATE INFO. THIS IS MY OPINION AND I COULD BE WRONG. IF
YOU BUSINESS VENTURE WORKS OUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR RESULTS.
IMMEDIATE answers people might need rather
: than having to wait even a few hours,as time is of the essence in
: many situations,such as someone needing immediate advice with a bad
: ppd reaction!
PEOPLE HAVING ANY WORRISOME REACTION TO ANYTHING SHOULD SEEK
PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL HELP. SEARCHING FOR CLUES AS TO WHY YOU SEEM
TO HAVING CHEST TIGHTNESS AND BLISTERING IS FINE ONCE YOU HAVE MADE
CERTAIN THAT YOUR PROBLEMS WILL NOT WORSEN OR BECOME LIFE
THREATENING. I DON'T FEEL THE FORUM OR A PAY PER CALL PHONE SERVICE
IS FOR PEOPLE WHO FEAR THEIR HEALTH IS IMMEDIATELY THREATENED AND DO
YOU REALLY WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO BE LIABLE FOR PASSING OUT MEDICAL
ADVISE. I THINK IT WOULD BE A VERY SHORT AND UNPROFITABLE PHONE CALL
IF THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LEGALLY SAY IS GO SEE A DOCTOR.
see people posting on here all the time who may not get an answer
: to their sepcific question for several days,though most are
answered
: fairly quickly,someone who is panicky and scared of a reaction they
: are having may not necessarily want to WAIT even an hour for an
: answer much less a few hours or even days!
: I do not know why some people seem to have such a negative attitude
: toward this geez! I come on this forum and yes I have been posting
: for quite a while ,just not often,and I do visit the forum much
more
: than I post on it,and I thought people treated people fairly here
and
: with at least as much respect as they would wish to be treated with
: but responses like these are anything but friendly and fair! :-(
I HAVE SEEN A GREAT DEAL OF KINDNESS, RUDENESS, SUPPORT AND
DISAGREEMENT ON THIS FORUM AND AM NOT SURE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN READING
THAT MAKES YOU FEEL IT IS ALWAYS SWEETNESS AND BLISS IN THE COMPLETE
ABSENSE OF DISSENTING OPIONIONS. I HAVE BEEN READING AND POSTING
SINCE THE FALL OF '98. IT IS A DISCUSSION FORUM AND I EXPECT PEOPLE
TO DISCUSS THINGS AND NOT ALWAYS AGREE. RIGHT OR WRONG YOU CERTAINLY
BLASTED DARLA A FEW POSTS DOWN FOR EXPRESSING HER TAKE ON THE ISSUE
AND THEN TOLD HER NOT TO BE A BRAINLESS SHEEP FOR DOING EXACTLY THAT.
IS THAT YOUR IDEA OF POLITE, FRIENDLY OR FARE?
: I posted here just offering a legitimate business opportunity for
: someone who loved Henna ( and yes I am a Henna Artist,for many
years
: aside from being an American Indian Artist,and have been for most
of
: my life as those of you have visited my web page are aware of )and
I
: actually thought it would be an excellent idea and had someone in
: mind for it before I even ever posted about it as I thought they
: would have fun doing it,as I think anyone would!That person
indicated
: they may have done it before when they were not so busy,but are too
: busy now,and i respect that as a person would have to devote time
to
: it,jsut like anything else..
: I was also not counting on people on this forum to be the people
who
: would call in-I posted here LOOKING FOR AN EXPERT who would
: appreciate the opportunity!I also thought i mentioend this was a
: TRIAL thing,a NEW thing to see if there IS interest in it,and there
: definitely IS,much more interest and support for it than there is
: agasint it (s far only two negative comments out of all the
responses
: I have received so far on the internet and off!
: YOU may not care for the idea,but that does not mean everyone else
: does not,and in fact,many people I have heard back from think itis
an
: EXCELLENT idea and want to do it themselves!
I DON'T THINK MY OPINION IS SO IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE WILL BLINDLY
FOLLOW IT IF YOU OFFER THEM SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO THEM. THEY
ARE PERFECTLY ABLE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE ALL ON THEIR OWN. IF THEY
WANT TO TELL ME I'M A BITCH FOR WHAT I SAID IN MY POST THEY ARE
WELCOME TO DO THAT. FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS A WONDERFUL THING BUT IT
ALSO GUARANTEES THAT YOU WON'T ALWAYS LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR.
Darla being one of
: them,being actually the first person from THIS forum to respond to
it
: and I do not know how you can be interested in something on the one
: hand and cut it down on the other,that is a bit odd to me,but all I
: am trying to do is give someone an opportunity and I think there is
: no reason to disprespect someone because you happen to not agree
with
: it.I would not even THINK of doing that to anyone on this forum or
: anywhere else-not in my nature,

PLEASE REREAD YOUR ANGRY, CRITICAL AND SELF-DAMNING RESPONSE TO BOTH
MYSELF AND DARLAHOODS COMMENTS BEFORE CLAIMING IT IS NOT IN YOUR
NATURE.
and I do not understand why you feel
: you have to make negative comments about it..if you are not
: interested-just go onto the next post.

WHY SHOULD I NOT RESPOND TO A POST IF I DON'T AGREE WITH IT. I THINK
THAT SEPARATES ME FROM THE SHEEP AND THINK THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A
DISCUSSION FORUM IS TO EXPRESS IDEAS AND OPINIONS. YOU HAVE WRITTEN
A VERY LONG LETTER EXPRESSING YOUR OPINIONS AS IS YOUR RIGHT. WHY
SHOULD I NOT BE ABLE TO EXPRESS MINE? I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION
THAT WAS WHAT A FORUM WAS FOR.
That is what I do!
: All those who want to know more about it, can e-mail me and ask!
: Simple as that! What is the big deal???
I AGREE-WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?-PEOPLE ARE FREE TO DISREGARD ME AND ACT
AS THEY FEEL APPROPRIATE. I HAD NO IDEA ANYONE THOUGHT MY OPINION
WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT THEY WOULD SET ASIDE THEIR BETTER JUDGEMENT
RATHER THAN FOLLOWING THEIR HEARTS AND HEADS. IN THINKING OTHERWISE
I THINK YOU DO NOT GIVE FORUM MEMBERS CREDIT FOR BEING ABLE TO DO
THEIR OWN THINKING.
: I also do not know why it makes a difference or what business it is
: of anyone's how many people e-mailed me about this..?

I NEVER ASKED AND AM NOT SURE WHY YOU HAVE ADDRESSED THIS TO ME.

I tell you
: what,I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere in my life!

IF ONE BITCHY POST MAKES YOU FEEL SO UNWELCOME PERHAPS YOU SHOULD NOT
EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS ON THE INTERNET WHERE PEOPLE WILL RESPOND TO
THEM AND CALL IT HOW THEY SEE IT. EVERYWHERE I'VE CHECKED THAT SEEMS
TO BE THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.

: If people want to know about it,they can e-mail me themselves and
: ask! They are big girls and boys! They do not need someone telling
: them what they should r should not be interested in!

I DON'T REMEMBER STATING THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE AN OPINION OR A MIND OF
THEIR OWN. I WOULD BE HORRIBLY DISAPPOINTED IF THEY DIDN'T.
I do not like
: taking up forum space on stuff like this either as I stated
before,it
: seems ridiculuous and counter-productive for everyone.You have not
: seen me come on here and comment that any of your ideas are stupid
or
: unnecessary...nor would I.That is not for me to decide and it is
: downright rude!
YOU CERTAINLY RIPPED INTO ME FOR THE IDEA THAT PROMPTED YOUR POST SO
APPARENTLY IT IS FOR YOU TO DECIDE WHOSE IDEAS ARE STUPID AND
UNNECESSARY.

: Ideas are very relative and subject to individual opinions and
: preferences and it is pretty un-American for people to try and run
: anyones ideas into the ground!
Especially when they have no clue
: about it and have not even bothered to ask!
: Anyway,I thought anyone had the right to post Henna related items
: here,but I guess I was wrong! :-\ I also thought anyoe could post
: without being attacked or have to defend themselves,when the people
: making the negative comments have not even checked anything out yet!
: Or it is ok for anyone but me..for whatever strange reason?

HOW HAVE I PREVENTED YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FROM POSTING? SINCE WHEN DID
PEOPLE NOT HAVE TO DEFEND THEIR IDEAS IN A DISCUSSION FORUM? IF
EVERYBODY AGREES THERE REALLY IS NOTHING TO DISCUSS. I COULDN'T STOP
PEOPLE FROM HAVING AN OPINION AND REALLY WOULDN'T WANT TO.
'

: For the most part,everyone has been very nice and all,and only a
: couple seem to have a problem with it for whatever reason and that
is
: your right,but it is not your right to disrespect someone you do
not
: even know and insult their ideas..that is really rude.
: Anyway,if it would make a couple people feel better or more secure
or
: whatever if people with good or different and creative ideas did
not
: post here maybe nobody should post! I have read some pretty out
there
: posts from people trying different things,and yes,they involved
: profiting from henna and their henna knowledge and talent and I saw
: people ENCOURAGING them and I may not have liked their ideas,but of
: course said nothing so how is that any different than this idea I
: would like to know..?

: I have posted on other areas around the internet and nobody has
: reacted like this anywhere but on this forum! I think most people
: will not of course,but for some reason,some people must just feel
: better when they try and make other people feel bad.I would never
do
: that-try and squelch a persons creativity or orginality.That seems
a
: strange attitude too for people posting on a Henna page,with the
art
: of Henna being one of the most creative,expressive artforms there
: is! :-\
: Believe it or not,I am a NICE person (if some people would bother
to
: contact me and talk to me first they would have found that out!)

I NEVER SAID YOU WEREN'T A NICE PERSON. I WAS COMMENTING ON YOUR
IDEAS NOT YOUR PERSONALITY. IF MY POST SEEMED UNNECESSARILY BITCHY
ULTIMATELY I WILL BE THE ONE TO SUFFER AS IT WILL COLOR PEOPLES'
ATTITUDES TOWARD ME AND HOW THEY RESPOND TO MY ADVICE AND POSTS IN
THE FUTURE. EVERYONE BEARS THEIR OWN RESPONSIBLITY FOR WHAT THEY
POST AND CHOOSE TO SHOW OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THEMSELVES.

and
: the person that does the Henna line will not only benefit from
: working taking calls,as i pay EXTREMELY well,but will benefit from
it
: for their Henna business also,so you tell me how that is bad and if
: that makes me a horrible person for offering someone that kind of
: opportunity??? Geez! Excuse me for thinking I was going to help
: someone!
: I bet you did not think of that aspect of it huh?

Anyway,I am not
: going to sit here and defend myself agasint something and a couple
of
: people who have negative attitudes about things..

YOU HAVE JUST DEFENDED YOURSELF AT GREAT REPETITIVE RAMBLING LENGTH.
I WOULDN'T THINK YOU WOULD NEED MUCH MORE SPACE.

: Just because you may have seens some obvious scammers on here
: offering bogus work at home schemes on here,that they charge FEES
for
: (no fees here!)do not put that on me.I have been in business with
my
: current company here since 1989 with ZERO complaints,ZERO BBB
: complaints,NO negative stuff whatsoever,and started this netwrok
: BECAUSE of all the garbage I saw out there with fake Organizations
: scamming people and taking advantage of people working at home and
: such..so you are way off if you think this is a scheme as it is
: not,and i do not tell people they are going to be rich,or even
: guarantee they will make a lot of money,and am totally honest with
: people about the opportunity and what it may or may not do,and some
: people have the far-sightedness to beleive it will be a good thing
: and actually help people,and have the pioneering spirit it takes to
: help make it work,and that is the person,or people if we decide to
: have more,that we will choose to do it.
: No negative people are needed Thank you!
: I have said more than enough,and do not care to keep going on with
: this,so if it becomes a problem for you webmaster,site owner,please
: fell free to remove my posts and this string from your forum.
: The last thing i want to do is negatively affect a wonderful web
site.
