    Uhh...the founder of Walmart was dead two years before Amazon was created...:nonod: Plus he had retired a few years before due to poor health. I'm sure if he was still alive and young at the time of Amazon's founding he would have reacted quickly enough to prevent them from becoming what...

    WTF! You've completely twisted my words and made up things that I never said. I never called anyone useless. Plus, my comment about knowing more than 99% of people alive had to do with the particular niche that I'm working in, not a general knowledge comment.

    You're proving my point once again. Walmart was wealthy enough to buy out Amazon several times over when they were first starting out in the 90s. Their arrogance in thinking that they didn't have to worry about competition from internet commerce and only had to worry about stores like K-Mart...

    Thank you! You got the point of my opening post. Perhaps I didn't phrase it perfectly but I wasn't trying to insult anyone or say that there's nothing else to be learned on this forum. Rather, I've exhausted all the relevant info that I can gain from being here and I believe that anymore time...

    Actually you are correct. Today will probably be my last day posting here. I wanted to answer a few questions people had because I felt like there were some misconceptions about what I meant and I didn't want to seem like I was running away instead of confronting the people criticizing me.

    Actually I signed up initially to gain a general knowledge of entrepreneurship as I was a totally ignorant like a lot of new people joining are. So, it benefited me before to learn as much as I could about everything. But, now that I know what I need to do in my particular area of...

    Perhaps I could have phrased my opening post to come across as less offensive but it was never my intention to be offensive or egotistical. I didn't say that I've learned everything about every subject related to business. Rather my point was that I believe I now know more about my particular...

    Well anyways if there's no questions to be asked then I will say farewell. Goodbye to JamesF, BBarakti, David, and anyone else I'm forgetting who has helped me out and who I've had discussions with. I hope you all succeed in your endeavors. I'm not here to brag or to hate on others. I...

    I never said I was holding everyone's hand. Go back and read that post. I was referring to dknise's comment below: My point to dknise was that I'm not here to hold anyone else's hand on this forum. I'm here to learn and like I said if I taught anyone anything that's great but that wasn't my...

    Of course I didn't say that I'm done with learning period. I just said that it's become clear to me that based on the amount of relevant knowledge I'm gaining from this forum I'd be wasting my time if I stayed. I bolded the word relevant because there's tons of info here that I don't know; I...

    Perhaps not angry but definitely using an angry or aggressive tone towards me. If I had known I'd receive this kind of response I wouldn't have started the thread to begin with. I would have just snuck off quietly and never returned. I figured I'd give people a chance to ask a few questions...

    I'm defending myself because I feel like I've been unfairly attacked. Like I said, I could have snuck off without saying a word, which would have been the real a**hole move. I figured I'd make a final thread to help others learn some of the things I've learned even though many of the regulars...

    Goodbye sir, and unlike you I'm not angry or hostile towards others just for saying that they're leaving. I hope you succeed but I'm not here to hold your hand or anyone else's. I came here to help myself, not to be a giver. If I've helped others along the way then that's great but that...

    Ego wasn't involved because I've only met one person from this forum IRL. I haven't even shared anything about my business on facebook; none of my friends know about it. If I was egotistical I would have documented my success on facebook to show off to people that I know rather than show off...

    I suppose I should have just left quietly without saying a word instead of trying to help people out with a post summarizing what I've learned from my experiences.

    Why do you assume that I don't have the necessary relationships IRL? Just because my network of people on this forum is not large doesn't mean that I don't know people in real life who are helping me and have helped me in the past. For instance, I recently borrowed several thousand dollars...

    First of all, I don't care about my reputation speed. I've never even thought about improving mine. I came to this forum to learn about business and I feel that I've accomplished that. If I've helped some others along the way then that's great but that wasn't my goal. My goal wasn't to be...

    Perhaps I can learn a nugget or two of information by staying but I would have to spend a lot of time on this forum to gain that knowledge whereas if I specifically buy books about what I'm searching for then I can gain much more knowledge without spending as much time trying to gain it. I...

    No problem, as I haven't discussed what I'm working on here. I wouldn't want to since at the moment my company is the only one doing what I'm doing and coming here to talk about my business would probably create some competitors, and let people know what I know without me knowing anything about...
