Rants about China
 

I went to China and taught English for 2 years. I had a harrowing experience and wrote it all down. Check it out in my new book, Rants about China, www.rantsaboutchina.page.tl

I recommend it for anyone thinking about going to china for a long stay or doing business with the Chinese.

7 months and 42 posts. that is possibly the longest lead up to spammage evar. ;)

At what point does spamamge become a legitimate dwellar telling us about their new production?

I guess it depends on how much the poster has contributed in other areas (post count, time spent, and quality of posts), but also on whether the sale is mentioned once in an appropriate place, or shouted loudly in inappropriate threads.

On the latter criterion, I'm cool with this particular thread talking about his new book, but on the former criteria.... hmmmmmmmmm I'm not too sure.

:eyebrow:


EDIT: Just saw the other thread about the same item from a slightly different angle.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. :headshake seems a bit excessive.

I'll let this one slide for However, the second, duplicate, thread in Relationships has been deleted.

I'm telling you guys you have to be careful. I've spent nearly 4 years and 6,000+ posts just lulling you guys into a sense of security. Pretty soon I'm going to start hitting you all up for the financial services that I provide. Just when you least expect it.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if LJ is doing the same thing. One day he's just going to start dropping car ads into his signature line. 10,000 posts? Just a part of the ploy.

this is getting out of hand!
 

what kind of pompous ass quotes themself? oh, nevermind.:rolleyes:

You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.

Too late. You had already advised Dwellars to get into a more conservative and defensive position in their 401Ks just before the market took a dive. Giving away the good ideas for free that time.

I quite enjoyed the rant about China...and I will never go visit that country, now. Thank you, morie.

It would seem to me that morie was excited about having completed his piece and wanted an audience, more than anything. I know the feeling. Often, upon completing a piece of visual artwork I want to show everyone and gather reactions. I wouldn't consider that spam, but I am biased.

I'll be careful.

Nah, Glatt I didn't advise anything. That was just a sharing of my thoughts. If I had been advising you all, anyone who chose to ignore that idea would have been forced to sign a document saying they are choosing to ignore my advice of their own free will and they cannot hold me responsible for the results.

Case, I didn't read the rant, mainly cuz I just don't care that much. I wasn't really busting on Morie for spammage, just being a smartass. In truth, I think some of you should more actively let dwellars know what you do. Your art, Morie's writing, Smoothmoniker's music, etc. You all create a tangible item that can be enjoyed by dwellars. As long as you aren't plastering ads saying "buy this from me" in the cellar I think it is cool. I don't create anything. I get paid for providing a service, so if I started directing you all to my website that would definitely be spammage and should be deleted by Sir xoB. IMO.

. . . You'll be dead!!!

Come this little one is not worth the trouble.

Thank you, LO. It is good to know that when I post about art, I am not annoying the crap out of everyone. :) I appreciate when you give financial advice, also.

I thinks it's fine -in one thread. I remember morie's comments in other threads on various topics and not pushing stuff so I think they've earned the right to blow their own trumpet. It is a vanity publication or a real book deal? Seems an odd title (to the point, but not a "grabber").


eta: as far as I can tell it's just a blog.....
