Well, I think the no negativity rule
forces posters to find the positive in every negative.
So if you think the economy is going in the dumper,
how can a person benefit from it?
Someone always benefits from every single situation.
(And as you've often pointed out, Great Bear,
the so called bad situations can be the best opps)
MJ... curious as to why you don't want
the banned people reading the messages?
(Yes, I was the kid in the class always asking why)
: )
Let me clarify -- negativity is allowed here. Negative people aren't. There's a difference. Many of my posts can go off into the negative simply because the nature of the question. However, my agenda, isn't pure negativity. As for why banned folks can't read messages, its because they lost their privileges. Like a DUI Drunk being banned from driving.
I don't mind him being gone, and it does seem to clear the air, but what I mean is, we should not throw away negativity just for the negativity. I've heard some people come here and say "there was too much negativity in the RDPD forums". There's a difference between useful negativity and useless negativity(we know where to put dogg's negativity). What I'm saying is that we shouldn't exclude something just for the negativity. Someone might tell me "Hey Subway didn't offer a lot of support to its franchisees in Country X" or "Only 1 in 12 franchises survive 15 years" or "You're just buying yourself a job " or whatever. Critique is useful, and some of the "negativity" that was really critique on the RDPD forums was knocked down and I figured it might be useful if we uh allowed some useful "negativity" to exist instead of bashing negativity.
No you are correct. Negativity is allowed. Negative people are not. There's a difference between being negative for the sake of being negative. When every post is a negative dig, a negative politico, a negative retort - then the person has a different agenda than being present to learn and be educated - the agenda is negativity and to force their world-view on me/us.
Answering a question in the negative when the negative is warranted is acceptable because the answer, in itself, is negative.
"Is it smart to buy a Quiznos franchise?" -- NO, and here's why...
"Is it smart to buy spend $45K on a Russ Whitney seminar?" NO, and here's why...
VS
"Look at Tom Vu's seminar, aren't they funny?" and then going off into some tangent about Iraq, Arabs, and George Bush.
Even if he was positive, he was repeatedly violating the politics rule anyhow.
