I've read his garbage over at talkcrap. He calls Bryan a scammer and pips a scam. So I know his true feelings.

If you study the TG website owner,s reply to many posts in this forum, you soon get the impression, and rightly so, that the guy thrives on confrontation, much akin to the many people who act out their phantasies within the TG forum. His polite answers may seem disarming and respectful, but you will soon find your defences slipping, and your ship steering into troubled waters without realising you are no longer in control.
Anyone who calls to our forum and can present a view with historical data, and an opinion either for or against such facts, would indeed, I imagine, find themselves the originator of a lively and worthy discussion.
Why then, do we react to people who turn up with nothing more than inuendos and the time worn call of Ponzi this and Ponzi that with not one shred of evidence to be gleamed from one word or sentence.
It,s called baiting, and to enter such an argument is to find oneself embroiled, not only in defence of your own opinion, but a whole heap of unrelated subjects, escalating into a war of words with all and sundry.
Its not a pretty sight because such wounds may never heal, nor can you rebuild relationships overnight.
The original poster, like our friend above, will have his moment of glory at the TG website, even though we are weary and tired of reading the same old tirade, nevertheless, his is the victory, for we cannot stop ourselves from reacting.

Soul Surfer is ***** from TG.
Just Ignore *****s!!!

SoulSurfer,

I have to disagree. It looks to me that *you* are in denial. You are blaming Bryan (you called us victims). The moment you blame another is a moment of self-denial.

The way I see it: I have free will and I made a choice. Win or lose, I was not victimized. I am not in denial.

For some reason, you're talking like there are guarantees in life. The way I see it: Any investment can fail (the stock market, a gold game, a Ponzi, my bank, etc.) . Any company I work for can fail or succeed (e.g., United Airlines has filed for bankruptcy).

I guess I could look at life like you are: Those horrible scamming business guys. They fooled me. I believed them when they said they could make their business work. I better get counseling. I keep believing and hoping that human beings are capable of success. I'm a hopeless VICTIM. Poor me! Save me! Save me!

Paddyfield,,

God Bless You For your Insight about TG, If Only More People Were as attentive ?

Just Maybe The CAT SCRATCHING Would Clear Up Some, and Business could PROCEE As We All Have Been Hopeing.

Just Had To Comment:
Thanks !

I must say, you are bold to step forward in defense of soulsurfers post.

what exactly, do you think, is the reason for his/her (enormous) post?

SM: I don't read with critical eyes, Thats just looking for negativity in people. I would rather look for the good in people. There is nothing wrong with expressing your or anyone else's opinion back to the posting, but my piont is that he did it with respect to the members here. It is only his opinion. Nothing more. But the way he gets called names and gets attacked, I think that is wrong and goes on to much in this forum. He followed the rules and others should to.
As for being bold, I never gave any opinion on his post, just the attacts by the same people it seems in every thread are getting very tiring. Have a nice night SM and I do enjoy reading your posts.

Well as for soulsurfer .. he has come , left his mark and we are still talking about what he said ,,, It is time to put him on the silent treatment and let him sink out of sight ..just where he should be ....

I would respectfully disagree... you do read with a critical eye....
"just the attacts by the same people it seems in every thread are getting very tiring'....
you may not realize it, but it looks like you are a very selective (critical) reader.... you manage to find the attacks of people defending themselves, their hopes, and dreams, from someone with a bad attitude, but apparently you can't see insults, in a condesending and disrespectful post.... soulsurfers post is oozing with insulting inuendos...

thanks sopranos, enjoy your night also

Yep

You lost all credibility when you said it was a Pyramid scheme
Do your homework
Time will tell the outcome of all this but you havent got your facts right

Greg

Pyramid scheme? That's silly!
