I saw your post on Magic Bullets to check out your podcast. It sounds fine. The audio is fine.

A suggestion – Put some text at the top to point people where to click to start the podcast. I’m used to the YouTube video where you know where to click. It took me a minute to figure out where the podcast was. The slim black just didn’t sink in for a minute.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you might want to check out (Free) Easy Video producer. You can do up to 20 video or audio recordings for free. You don’t have to sign up for the paid version.

This morning I received an email from this former member asking me to remove this post. I am not going to do that. I have not identified this person in any way and while they spent a lot of time on the Field Guide during the time they were a member they did not interact with many other members. Therefore, it is unlikely other members will be able to identify this person.

See, I think they acted impulsively. They said they were offended with my interaction with some liberals on twitter. What they were referring to is some of my interactions on posts in the #tcot stream. Twitter allows you to add a tag, called a hash tag because it is the # followed by the tag, in this case #tcot to a tweet. This makes it easy to essentially participate in a big public chat room. Well, #tcot, is stands for Top Conservatives On Twitter. The “top” part doesn’t mean all that much. Being a conservative discussion thread it attracts those who vehemently disagree with the discussion.

Disagreement, of course, is not a problem. But, it attracts “trolls” whose sole purpose is to stir up controversy where none existed before. I, like many who post tweets to #tcot, have attracted the attention of the trolls from time to time. I have tried to discuss things with them, probably more than I should, but hey, I am human.

Now, I do not know if this former member is one I had some kind of interaction with on twitter or not, but I suspect that might be the case.

I guess at the end of the day, I kind of have the same question and opinion Cindy does about this.

And, yes, I could have let this just slip quietly into the night. But, I didn’t.

Someone please remind me again how this is such a good idea.

Maybe he needs to think about ALL aspects of his business!!

Just my opinion, but then I too am a conservative, but I hope one with an open mind.

Therefore, totally separate issue. Nothing wrong with that.

Well, I was only partly wrong. Wrong because as soon as I read “X”’s expectation of finishing the deal with you as his mentor, I realized he attempted to take advantage of your kindness. UGH! Nice going, “X”!

To his credit, he did asked…… *I’m being sarcastic here*

But, at least, I was right about the morphing into a non-political part…..*giggle*

So here’s my message to “X”—–You’ll need to sit back and re-evaluate yourself and learn what you really want. Don’t use anything or anybody as an excuse for anything. Tim did not bring or create problem to you. You brought the problem onto yourself. You hoped that Tim would rectify your problem in part but instead, in reality, he rectified the symptom of your problem in whole (i.e. full refund). Tim and no other human being can resolve your problem, only you can resolve your problem. If the problem is truly about political belief and it’s hindering you personally and/or professionally, then you need to eliminate your political belief and your problem will cease to exist.

Something for you to think about…..

Please indulge me while I try to comprehend the obvious wisdom you have bestowed upon the discussion…

You think it is fine to avoid working with and buying from people who have differing political views. You obviously think it is a good thing I refunded the money so this person can sleep at night.

I’m pretty sure I understand that part. I am not sure how you satisfy your daily needs since so many consumer goods and services are supplied by conservatives like myself. At any given point in time about half the population lean conservative and half lean liberal.

Perhaps you could share with us how you determine the political leanings of any product or service provider prior to purchase.

Then you call me a jerk and a prick because I am reluctant to continue to work with someone who so adamantly does not want to compensate me in even the trivial amount of the Field Guide membership fee.

So, presumably, it would be a good thing in your eyes to work with someone who differs from me in their political views as long as the conservative in the transaction does it for free?

You are proving you are a jerk by not helping them close their deal too.

At least you have been exposed for the prick you are.

Seriously, this is the type of childishness that keeps people from succeeding and always blaming others. You did the right thing in refunding the money and killing the account. You should refer them to a solid liberal or someone willing to pretend to be a liberal to help them from this point on.

EFCA all the way baby!

If you do decide to offer a hosted option and the price is reasonable, I’ll sign the 6 people in my group up.

You may not see the value in this approach from the standpoint of the buyer or the seller and that is fine too. But, if the intention of the program is as the President has advertised then they will be delighted to find people willing to help people buy homes and use the $8k credit to help in that process.
