"He has the ability to be persuasive, that is his job."
"As a former telephone salesperson, he has skills that Harris lacks: He's great on the phone or talking one-on-one with people."
"For seven years, he worked at the phone company..."
I'm sure that 7 years as a telephone company salesperson (telemarketer) teaches one many things about being "persuasive", especially OVER THE TELEPHONE.
Don't worry. I'm good at holding down forts, being the last man off the ship. The felonious Andy will have a "pursuer" until he is put in a place where he poses no danger to infants, imbeciles, incapables, and DUmmies.
What a nasty asnine post! I have never said I felt ignored... I said you have asked me to step down. I also said (if I didn't say it directly, I will now) Speed mislead us for days! When he made his half statement today, I was very disheartened. I know what I was told and you asked me to hang in there. Now you are pretending that I was the one with problems???
Beg your pardon, sir.
I thought it was a rather polite post.
speed_addiction, being human, made a common human error, and of course we were disappointed in the results.
But if "jumping the gun" is a problem, then we all in here are problems, because we've all at one time or another jumped the gun.
As it should be :)
I'm way behind on this thread , I think somewhere around 800 ... I will have to catch up later tonight.
By the way we had a 5.2 earthquake up this way about a hour ago.... Shake shake shake....
I thought it was San Diego that was supposed to get an earthquake, not Alaska.
I've been trying to figure out if there is some sort of pattern with this particular post and can't figure out what it could be. What's it mean? Why you posting it? I need at least one mystery solved today.
Brilliant is right; that sounds like what someone (not necessarily the felonious Andy) did to speed_addiction.
My own faith in speed_addiction remains solid; he is after all human, not perfect.
covering his tracks, or attempting too?
Makes lots of sense. But for one thing-- If I were an Undie donator (or someone else looking into this), I would still want to see proof of the money raised versus money paid to JH. So, while he might buy himself some time by quelling doubts-- like someone posted earlier-- "show me the money!!!"
"Can I ask why? It seems to be a burden on him."
And I am sure that Krodg is touched by your solicitude, but it is not necessary that Krodg give out information merely to prove that he/she has it, or to alleviate your concern for his welfare.
Common courtesy dictates that we respect the wishes of others, when our own interests are not threatened; I am sure you and other posters, even those whose curiosity might be considered excessive, will agree.
Think about - this is a common tactic. It works every time it is tried. Psychological warfare 101. Politics 101. Playground 101.
It is brilliant. Why bother persuading the followers?
Why do politicians move to the middle during an election - because they know the lackeys will be there.
fine. then tell him to quit complaining please.
tell him to quit complaining AND tell him to take it out on you instead of everyone else. Thank you kindly in advance.
You know, sir, that is perhaps the most illuminating, most enlightening, thing we've all learned today.
They don't have to convince most of the DUmmies--but there is a, uh, problem with a few dubious DUmmies, who on their own sooner or later might make things hotter.
Well, the only way they can convince those few dubious DUmmies is by convincing their skeptics, us.
Right on. And if you look around I think you find that his paypal address is different depending on the sites it was on. Just a hunch. All receipts for the last six months from all paypal accounts, amazon accounts, and direct deposits would suffice.
I agree. This is BBB Bev's former right hand man we're talking about.
Whether she scammed DU or anyone I do not know. The DUmmies (including Andy) and many others think she did. And so far she hasn't done anything to dispel that slanderous notion.
So, I'm coming from the BBV Bev was scammimg allegations, okay, so who was her right hand man during all the alleged scamming? Why it's the illustrious Mr. Stephenson.
And nobody at DU ever makes that connection. If Bev was scamming, her right hand man and travel buddy wasn't?
I still don't think this is over. Not by a long shot.
