I can only guess that they have visited and found the articles to be too dense to refute.<br /><br />I like that the comments stay after you rebut their comments because it shows they are not adamant about their position, but rather are shills stopping by for a quick jab and hoping to make some kind of a difference for their own psyche. It clearly isn't going to have a positive effect on their sales or the company's sales, especially since you have been writing about the massive decline in Amway productivity.<br /><br />That is the same thing the MSM is doing on their articles. They are shutting down comments and not allowing for any critical thought. The New York Times wrote a ridiculous piece trying to justify Megyn Kelly and her interview while painting Alex Jones to be an insane monster. It's extremely frustrating because these for profit newspapers are still taken very seriously and they still have a huge impact on people.John Doehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186871105223753934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576018960973115197.post-28597665178622652662017-06-19T11:45:25.979-07:002017-06-19T11:45:25.979-07:00A lot of the pro MLM faction apparently will often...A lot of the pro MLM faction apparently will often send out "drive by shooters". So you'll get some commentary from a guy that's negative about the blog or blog author only to never return, but the comment sits there.<br /><br />While I rarely delete or ban any comments, I usually will respond to any misinformation that is left on my blog. <br /><br />Back in its heyday, there were a bunch of pro Amway blogs and most of them didn't allow comments unless they were positive about Amway. I found that to be humorous in itself.<br /><br />Anyway, good article. It is exactly what MLM does. The business cannot stand on merits or actual stats so things need to be candy coated or obfuscated in some manner. Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.com
