but to ignore a child's bad behavior is to enable it

for to ignore this link is enabling it

for fans to ignore this link is enabling it

Also, I think you have given this link more publicity than it would

have gotten just sitting on the home page-----I never noticed it

myself-----I really am not trying to be nasty or prolong the " pain " of

this conversation but I agree with what someone said earlier----do what

you know is best for you personally----let 's people handle it-----

If you dont believe in the product then simply dont use it-----but I

feel bad that you expending so much negative energy on it. >>

funny but I believe many of you are dishing out some negative energy back at

me misplacing your own anger but I sort of expected it cuz folks do usually

attack the messenger instead of discussing the message

guess it just depends on which side of the fence you were sitting on

but to tell you the truth, my first reaction was very much like most of yours

that all that matters is that the Tae-Bo message gets delivered to folks who

need it till I visited the site and clicked the link

Seeing that link with my own eyes just clicked on the lightbulb

putting it there was just plain stupid and reflects a lack of respect for

folks who visit the site seeking info about Tae-Bo

the truth speaks for itself whether I continue to call attention to it or not

I truly believe the removal of that link now

and the sooner, the better

will do alot less damage than leaving it there

If someone were tryng to decide whether to try TB or not,

that link could become the deciding factor

who hopes Tae-Bo does not lose its credibility cuz of greed

I have to disagree with you on this one, Barb.

We're not in charge of Tae-Bo's image. It's 's business, it's his

image, and he's the only one that has any say-so about what sites he links to.

I don't know why he decided to associate himself with Malibu Naturals. He

obviously has a reason. It may be strictly a business decision (i.e. $$$).

Or it may be that likes their products. I don't know, and it's not

for me to know or judge.

I don't particularly like their sales tactics, so I won't be buying their

products. But bad sales tactics do not necessarily mean the products don't

work. I don't know whether they work or not. I've never tried them, and I

never will. I do know that some fat busters *do* work. It's not something

I'm interested in, but there are millions of people out there who are.

Been there... done that. :-) Not a good analogy.

>How many people would trust a doctor whose own sibling is a drug dealer?

I would. I believe that people are responsible for their own actions. I

have a child who dealt drugs. Does that make me bad? No. Does that make

his sister bad? No.

>The mom may love both kids but they are as different as Night and Day.

>What a selfish mother to allow this to happen.

*If* one child's actions could tarnish the other's reputation (which I

doubt), there's absolutely nothing the mother could do about it anyway. If

the mom had so much influence that she could sway public opinion in suc ha

way, then she would have also been powerful enough and influential enough

that the child wouldn't have been dealing drugs in the first place.

That is exactly my thoughts Sandy, , we dont really know anything

about Malibu Nautrals--only its sales tactics. My thoughts are...

promote the positive, Taebo, promote what has worked for you, Taebo,

and let people make there own decisions. People will cypher out what

works and doesnt for them personally. A link to a site doesnt change my

opinion of in the slightest!!

To play the devils advocate here......What if tomorrow BIlly stated

Malibu was the best thing since sliced bread? My point being, we love

, but do we really know what he thinks of this product? no. So

dont be threatened by it.....just do what is best for you!!! And think

positive!!

To order Taebo stuff? YES!!! I would have no problem ordering TB stuff.

Barb, I have to ask, why exactly are you so bitter about this? Im not

sure why you have taken this on as such a personal crusade?
