Platzki,
Thats exactly what she had said. I'm not being mean to any of the commuity. I had great chats with them all there. I just hate to see them blindfoled into believing BS.
Ray Ray has been spreading theÂ
really thick and having them believe it!

It's a newer revelation for you and you are still pissed... we are over pissed... now we're on a mission (from God)... to save the poppers!!!!!!!!!!!

The stark reality, Keith, is there are a few Popper disciples who will go down with the ship, so Koolaid-drugged that they'll by praising their divine leader the whole way for helping them ascend into e-commerce Heaven with his SmartSell mantra. Meanwhile, the evangelical charlatan BOINKTARD behind the curtain sits snickering at their mindless goosestepping -- his poison-delete finger ready to spring into action at the slightest provocation from any in the group who might contaminate the disciples with a malignant independent thought. His coffers are full with the spoils of their labors and while they drown he'll be busy master-minding his next Â
con.
This is how it works. And for pointing out the obvious, we have been called Trolls, Infiltrators, and Naysayers. Some of us (myself, for example) have even been accused of being card-carrying members of eBay's special forces, anti-WP, defamation organization, paid by eBay to spread blasphemous lies and ruin Ray's golden image.
The existing Popper congregation has been distilled to these groups:
Mindless drones: Ray is their only reality, period. They pray to Amun-Ray. Planet Earth does not exist, and I wouldn't be surprised if some don't devotedly follow Ray into his next-on-the-docket grand con. The "this doesn't sound like Karen" Popper appears to fit in this classification.
Proud Poppers: those who have spent so much of their time on Boards and elsewhere witnessing for WP and defending their divine leader to the world they they are too proud to admit they are following a con artist, for fear of losing their credibility and looking like the fools they are. (A few of these folks have graced us with their presence on this board)
Hard-liners: those who've put so much time and energy into trying to make a go of it, that to give it all up and start all over would be too demoralizing. They are hoping upon hope that a divine miracle will save them if they just hang on long enough (casino owners love these folks, as they can sit at the same slot machine for days waiting for it to "pay off"), although the rational part of their brains knows the odds of being struck dead by an asteroid are better. Some of these folks will go through the trouble of closing and moving when they find the strength. Others will simply give up and eventually abandon their WP businesses.
Newbees: a smathering of greenies who are new to WP and e-commerce in general. Give them time to figure it out, and they will kiss Ray's Â
goodbye.
The "whatever" Poppers: these folks have irons in many fires, and if WP goes down it's no big hit. They'll milk it for what it's worth and move on when it's no longer worth their while to stay. These folks couldn't give a rat's ass about Ray's garbage reputation, his broken moral compass or how many threads he deletes or Poppers get axed as long as staying is of some benefit, however small, to their pocketbooks by driving traffic to their other fires or earning them a bit of pocket change. These folks have their life boats inflated and are ready to jump ship at any time.
The confused: These sorry Poppers are immobilized by frustration. They have worked their butts off, done all the right things and know they are fighting a losing battle. Yet they are at a loss how to gracefulling untangle themselves from Ray's web and sober up long enough to find their way out. Ray will try his damndest to keep these folks from the Satanic forces that dwell at TT and elsewhere, but these seekers will not remain immobilized forever. Once they see a pinhold of light, they'll be thundering toward the exits. Â Already I can hear murmurs in the distance..
