Amway Global - Why Do Amway Apologist Bloggers Delete Opposing Comments?

A frequent site visitor here named Levi runs a blog about why one might wish to consider a second income. However, he is either afraid, or his blog is pure propaganda. He deletes opposing viewpoints and opinions. Seems that many Amway apologists do not like comments that they view as "negative" on their blogs. I noticed that certain blogs that are run by some higher pins in the business are the same way. They will push their agendas and allow comments that fall into line with their though process, but put in a comment seen as negative. and the comment is not allowed or quickly deleted, even if the post is truthful. It seem that Amway supporters only enjoy their version of the truth. This information control by the pro-Amway camp is a bit troubling.

I can understand IBOs or supporters not allowing a profanity laced tirade, or an off topic rant, but relevent and respectful comments should not be deleted unless the blog author has something to hide or has a hidden agenda. Joecool's blog allows comments, even when they may be negative or opposite of Joecool's viewpoint. I noticed that even Amway corporate blogs will delete some truthful inforamtion, such as the bit of information I received from someone in Michigan that said Amway employees can purchase double x for around $10.00 to $12.00. If only IBOs would be open and truthful, maybe they would not have caused further damage to Amway's already interesting US repuatation.

When you have 30 plus comments on one thread of just bickering back and forth where no point is being made pertaining the topic what reader is going to want to add to that discussion? I delete threads when they are too long because no one new is going to really read all of them. I delete them to restart the point of discussion. most of the time my topics get thrown into an amway bash fest when the topic is far off Amway. tell me why then i would not want to delete it.
Here once again Joe takes a point and twists it to make for a good blog on his site. you should work for our national media they twist things and get paid. You can make anything sound as bad as you want or as good as you want my blog is about why a second income not why not do amway. If people did not litter it with anti amway garbage then i would not delete it. I have given a blog dedicated to My Amway Option ( notice as a secondary income i post amway as only an opiton) but if I did not delete the blog before it went too far who is going to read all those comments? what was said 1st is not neccesary after 10 posts have been made. If you dont like my reasoning thats ok but unlike joe I dont need an archive of blog threads with 100's of comments.

and by the way if I was just deleting negative commnets why would I delete my own good comments? It's like throwing out yesterdays paper it all goes.

John said...

joe, here is a free tip on a secondary income. why dont you use google adsense in your blogs? you have so many people here commenting and obviously keep such a long list of threads that you could possibly make money here. email me if you want to know more.

Levi, I do not blog to make money. I consider it a public service which I provide for free. I could get paid as I have good traffic here, but then IBOs would accuse me of writing articles just o cause trouble and make a buck.

Once your post goes off the home page of your blog, it's not going to get much traction. Better to keep the discussion there instead of deleting prior comments.

But hey, it's your blog, do what you want with it.

John said...

your commnets will go into consideration.

But joe whats wrong with allowing advertising here? you would be giving your audience more to read that is on topic to your blog. and you get paid per click. but hey it is your blog. you are very ignorant when it comes to money though. you seem to think that one should only get income from one source. why not have multiple sources?

John said...

A public service huh?

No comment...

Joecool said...

Levi, I do not need the little extra money that I could make with this blog. I do it as a public service.

Even if you are what you claim, an IBO running Amway in an ethical manner, you admit that many groups do not. How is any IBO or prospect supposed to know this?

John said...

by what I present and what I ask
you have already given them all the donts I give them the do's.

Hmmm... would I as a new IBO want to hitch my wagon to an upline who seemingly just argues on blogs???

Results matter!

Joecool said...

That's right. Results matter. If IBOs were actually making money, there would be no problem in recruiting new IBOs. But that's not the case is it?

John said...

Anon, Good God that is the very problem. why would you hitch your wagon to any thing? get on the damn horse and go yourself.

unless you are another run off the mill american who's lazy mindset thought they were going to get something for nothing. i can not pull you, I would unhich a person like you in a heartbeat. you would be a deadweight.

Dear God Levi - get over yourself!

With your logic - you should move to China or India to build the business, not here in the USA.

Being that we're all lazy and such...
