: 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.
: : Dara

Shannon-
You have missed the entire point and convoluted my statements beyond
recognition.
Yes,I did post that response to you (see your post and heading)and
also to Darla and assumed you both would recognize which referred to
which.
I NEVER intimated that Darla was a "Brainless Sheep"!!! Geez! Where
do you see those words ANYWHERE in my posts?? It is not there so you
will not. Shows how easily one's words can be taken out of contexct
and misinterpreted! That may be your interpretation,but it is
certainly NOT what I meant and I think Darla knows that! I meant none
of the comments in my posts as an insult to Darla,yourself or
anyone,and I apologize if you interpreted them that way,but I was
letting you both know I was offended by your posts NOT because you
posted your OPINION,which is of course your right or anyone's as you
stated,but because of the fact that neither of you bothered to check
it out first before making the comments.BIG difference!
I stated that people should think for themselves rather than having
to ask anyone else's approval,and find out for themselves about
something by going directly to that person,the source,rather than
going around every which way and asking other people.
The best and most fair way to find out about an idea or a person or a
compnay is to go directly to that entity-not to people who know
nothing about the idea or person or company!
Yes,I have seen people disagree on this froum and every other,of
course they do..BUT it has been in my estimation mostly
jsutified,those that were criticized were usually doing something
OBVIOUSLY scammish or hurtful to other people,and I was doing
neither..
As far as my post being "repetitive",sometimes something needs
repeating in order for people to " get it ",obviously,and as far as
my " rambling ",just because a person happens to be articulate and
educated and knows how to converse they should not be criticized for
that either.You also missed the point I was making about a lot of
people not having computers and not being aware of this forum or any
other-you are focusing just on YOUR experience and your knowledge of
this forum and that is limiting the scope of the idea..there is a
pretty large percentage of the population who are interested in Henna
and who know NOTHING about it or have no computer,as I run into them
all the time in my Henna business,so there is definitely a market for
this.
I also never said anyone else's ideas or opinions were stupid or
unnecessary,where did you see that? You have it turned around also,as
you and Darla are the ones who were posting in response to MY Posts-
not the other way around.
Anyway,I think this topic is about worn out and I will agree that you
have the right to post whatever you want,but not if it hurts someone
else or what they are posting about,which is the basic point I was
trying to make.
There used to be rules of conduct on forums and the main one was
always that people should refrain from posting negative and critical
comments about others and their ideas and posts but I guess to each
his own.

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. : : : Dara : : Shannon- : You have missed the entire point and convoluted my statements beyond : recognition. : Yes,I did post that response to you (see your post and heading)and : also to Darla and assumed you both would recognize which referred to : which. : I NEVER intimated that Darla was a "Brainless Sheep"!!! Geez! Where : do you see those words ANYWHERE in my posts?? It is not there so you : will not. Shows how easily one's words can be taken out of contexct : and misinterpreted! That may be your interpretation,but it is : certainly NOT what I meant and I think Darla knows that! I meant none : of the comments in my posts as an insult to Darla,yourself or : anyone,and I apologize if you interpreted them that way,but I was : letting you both know I was offended by your posts NOT because you : posted your OPINION,which is of course your right or anyone's as you : stated,but because of the fact that neither of you bothered to check : it out first before making the comments.BIG difference! : I stated that people should think for themselves rather than having : to ask anyone else's approval,and find out for themselves about : something by going directly to that person,the source,rather than : going around every which way and asking other people. : The best and most fair way to find out about an idea or a person or a : compnay is to go directly to that entity-not to people who know : nothing about the idea or person or company! : Yes,I have seen people disagree on this froum and every other,of : course they do..BUT it has been in my estimation mostly : jsutified,those that were criticized were usually doing something : OBVIOUSLY scammish or hurtful to other people,and I was doing : neither.. : As far as my post being "repetitive",sometimes something needs : repeating in order for people to " get it ",obviously,and as far as : my " rambling ",just because a person happens to be articulate and : educated and knows how to converse they should not be criticized for : that either.You also missed the point I was making about a lot of : people not having computers and not being aware of this forum or any : other-you are focusing just on YOUR experience and your knowledge of : this forum and that is limiting the scope of the idea..there is a : pretty large percentage of the population who are interested in Henna : and who know NOTHING about it or have no computer,as I run into them : all the time in my Henna business,so there is definitely a market for : this. : I also never said anyone else's ideas or opinions were stupid or : unnecessary,where did you see that? You have it turned around also,as : you and Darla are the ones who were posting in response to MY Posts- : not the other way around. : Anyway,I think this topic is about worn out and I will agree that you : have the right to post whatever you want,but not if it hurts someone : else or what they are posting about,which is the basic point I was : trying to make. : There used to be rules of conduct on forums and the main one was : always that people should refrain from posting negative and critical : comments about others and their ideas and posts but I guess to each : his own. : Dara
