Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

I assume it was a convenient way for him to shut up the dissenters so he can continue to fatten his wallet for a while longer.

Wow, that is pretty damn bad. I would think it is also illegal. 


On the other hand, doncha think you would have to be dumb as a brick to believe it? :blinkie:

It's very misleading but not illegal...and umm, the people responding to the thread did believe it (which isn't surprising)

Talk about mind control.................. :

[Alskling]

MORE THAN MIND CONTROL - it's mass hysteria by deceptive innoculation of viral gospel! Hitler knew this tactic well, and employed it to full advantage. Take a piece of information and fashion it in such a way that it appears to support the objectives of the movement. Of course the faithful, obedient, bunny-stomping followers are going to believe it because they are shielded from the truth. Should anyone bother to post the truth, that post would disappear into thin air like a fart in a hurricane and the poster would be segregated and punished. Cult leaders will say and do whatever it takes to maintain control of their followers -- lye, decieve, restrain, ANYTHING - nothing is above them. What Karen is doing should be illegal, but it's not. It's more than that, it's dangerous.

No. 25 of my identifiable attributes of a cult:
"control and eliminate, if possible, the availability to information that might tarnish the image or destroy the credibility of the leaders, its followers, or the movement in general.
No. 8
"carefully control the image of the movement by whatever means the leaders deem appropriate."


P.S. I noticed the #2 store who wanted to blow the pop stand over there is still among the ranks. No doubt, the lurkers on PSU tipped off Ray this seller was unhappy and I'm sure Ray is doing whatever it takes to keep his 3800 items on the tote board -- probably giving him free room and board.

Approximately 10 days ago Wagglepop's daily Alexa rankings literally jumped overnight from  average daily readings of 60-90,000 to consistent daily readings in the mid-20,000 range - without benefit of any advertising.

I wonder if Ray read this thread?

Those remarks WP admin/mods make to the members are offensive to read. I don't believe I've wittnessed such condescending tones beyond the realm of television. We always know these ostentatious characters are going to loose. It's often satisfying to watch their downfall.

With all of the free places to list, and some that proivde some sales, I fail to understand the mindset of the followers. Did they not realize that when they're paying for their booth at a venue, the deal is that the venue provides the software and marketing, the seller provides the goods and customer care? Don't they question the point of paying a venue, providing the goods and services, and having to do the marketing, too? Hell! I'm the idiot! I should have a few dozen morons forking over money so I can talk down to them and convince them that business is not about making money...while I take theirs...later, folks, I'm gonna' go get me some auction software!

As hard as it may be to believe, the fact is MANY ACTUALLY DO NOT REALIZE IT. It's not their fault -- they're ignorant and Ray makes sure they stay that way. Many have no idea there are free auctions sites. Some have very little on-line auction experience and others have none but eBay's. Any attempt to educate these folks is immediately snuffed. Any critical thinking among individuals within the congregation is met with the same fate. That's how it works. It's part of the cult agenda to keep followers separated from reality at all times to maintain control and domination. Many truly believe the propaganda they're spoon fed, because they have no clue otherwise. They blissfully tiptoe through mountains of bunny bullets, when in fact, Ray has them hypnotized into believing they're parading through a garden of tulips. How would they know the difference when they've never seen a real tulip? By chance, some might stumble upon information that runs contrary to the "gospel according to Ray" and start to question. These "diseased" members will be eliminated at once before they have the opportunity to infect the group. Once I discovered that free auction sites existed, every attempt I made to bring up this simple truth on the WP boards was incinerated by Karen and her WP "SS" and I was "terminated". Even PMs are monitored over there to make sure they conform to the manefesto and are free of information that could raise questions on the credibility of the leaders or the sanctity of their cause. It's as if Ray took lessons from Jim Jones himself.

It's so sad to see these folks -- some of whom are single moms supporting kids on welfare and crafts they make -- others retired and on social security -- being led like sheep to the slaughter. Too bad we can't rattle their cages with some of the classic posts here, but I doubt few know this site exists, and as sure as bunnies crap bullets, Ray and his disciples are going to do everything in his power to make sure it stays that way.

Maybe we should send over the ATF and Janet Reno to take care of it.  :
