Kelly -I have always found that forums have always been a very volitile enviroment,
I feel that sometimes if any post is left unanswered, then affiliates will believe that
whatever comments have been made are true because they go unchallenged.
And when we do challenge those posts we have tip-toe through the tulips regardless
of how crass some affiliates are with you.
The once I actually lost it in one of my posts, because one guy who hadn’t worked
with our group in years thought he had liscense to say whatever he wanted,
regardless of how it was said, so I told him exactly where to get off.
I find that all it takes is one negative post, and the rest crawl out of the woodwork
no matter how old their complaints are. My philosophy is “If any affiliate hasn’t
approached us using all of the available channels, then they have no right to
complain.” I point this often to quiet things down and it I find that it works.
After all we don’t pay to be part of this community just to be torn to shreds without
any justification. I don’t mind being burned if we deserve it because we can always
resolve any issue but I find it difficult to fix hot air.
