Aren't the really 'good' shoppers, especially the excellent video shoppers and the ones who are able to make this a full-time job (which I can't imagine), not even on this forum?"

Can't help yourself, I understand. I have a neighbor like that. Brings up everything from the past when it suits his current mood to denigrate someone, berates people for doing what he, himself, does regularly. Says things, responds, when he doesn't really understand what's going on. Later, when he understands, doesn't bother to apologize, just looks very red in the face.

You are not the only person to be able to look up people's responses and use them against them when you need a good laugh. The only difference is, I choose not to.

I've decided to join them both, anyway.
You are the one misunderstanding. It was not at all to denigrate you. I just felt it fair any member of this forum who might consider responding realized how much you denigrated them just four weeks ago. Since you think none of us are up to your standards, perhaps you could check out another forum. You could then ask for help first, make nasty comments about them second.

No, instead you decide to go ballistic and use vulgar language causing the mods extra work to edit your posts or ultimately delete them. Or you decide to edit/delete your own posts when other forum members call you out on posting inaccurate information.

@LisaSTL, when did you have the sex change?

@bgriffin, do you want butter with your popcorn?

Aw, well, it's good for everyone to know who the 3 musketeers will be when it's their turn. I thought it was just the two of you, but, I guess you never know.

This isn't your forum, it's ours. I understand that I get carried away when I try to help someone when they're being attacked by you guys (old gals). But so can you, get carried away. Sure are experienced at calling on 'the gang'. Grown women, hmph.

I don't have to join another forum, Lisa. Just who do you think you are?

I thought Jacob was the owner of this forum.

spicy1, I hate to burst your bubble but I am younger than you. So I guess I need to respect my elders, huh?
Yeah, I'm going to delete this account and start a new one. I can't be subjected to this bullshit

Who are the 3 musketeers? Or the "two of you?" I'm curious.

Who is attacking whom? I don't see any attacks. Unless throwing popcorn is attacking. In which case I'm guilty as charged!

I don't think Lisa said you had to join another forum. I think her advice was that since you believe there are no competent video shoppers on this forum that perhaps another venue would better serve you for this question.

To answer your original question. I have never had any formal training so can't comment to the particulars of either one. I was just helped by many friendly video shoppers who went before me when I had questions. Perhaps that's why I'm on this forum and obviously not one of those good video shoppers that aren't here and are somewhere else.

BTW my profit this week will be just north of $1800 and that includes two days of expenses that will be spent sight seeing. Maybe if I got some training and turned into a good shopper I could make decent money eventually.

3 + 2 = 5. Maybe each popcorn kernel is being counted separately.

Hi Spicy. That comment from March 28 was rough, implying the good shoppers are somewhere else. I'm sure some of them are since this is probably not a large group. At least, I've never noticed more than three to four hundred on line at any given time.

As to starting a new account, go ahead. But know up front that if you reincarnate yourself with the same attitude, you won't see a change in what comes back your direction.

Are we up to four musketeers now or is it five? I lose count. Being under qualified and all, you see. Anyway, in this case I'd rather be a Snicker. Can I be a Snicker? So much more appropriate.

I like my popcorn with caramel, you know, like in Crackerjacks. And don't forget a toy. I heard they discontinued that toy, but I want one in my popcorn.

So, it's mine, and everyone else that they/you folks, do this to?

Because someone has a question or a comment that doesn't sit well with you, this is what you do?

I didn't imply anything, really. I was referring to them being so busy they don't have time for this forum.
But if your perspective interpreted it to be that they were 'somewhere else' then that's your perspective.

Hey, when I'm really busy I have to turn some things off. I haven't watched tv in I don't know how long.
If I were a really busy mystery shopper, I'm sure I would say the same thing about this forum.

I don't know why you took it so personally, but I can imagine.
Join in! It's good for everyone to know who sticks by the people who do this kind of thing to others.
No, Spicy, I don't think you meant everybody was busy. I think you meant all the better shoppers were somewhere else. That's exactly how it sounded and I'm sure you're a highly literate person.

I'm not originating anything here. What you're getting is feather weight bounce back. Best to leave well enough alone right where it is. This is not personal at all. Lucky you.

That made me laugh soooo hard! You are the Queen of comments that don't sit well with you and then you attack everyone who disagrees with you or offers a different perspective. You brought this backlash on yourself. Own it,

Do you need another lollipop?

I prefer Snickers also. The crunch of the peanuts and they are more filling when you are really hungry.

Your comment did not imply that the "good shoppers" were somewhere else. Your comment implied that no shoppers here were good. No. It didn't imply it. It said it verbatim.

Your defensiveness about the subject is not helping your case. You made a remark that insulted many people on this forum. Many of which are very good shoppers that go out of their way to help other shoppers. Instead of apologizing for offending someone you made excuses at to why they shouldn't be offended. You know what they say about excuses.

Snickers are gross because peanuts are gross.

There is no 'implication' of anything. I said exactly what I meant.
Your perspective is skewed if you read it some other way.

Quoted "Best to leave well enough alone right where it is. This is not personal at all. Lucky you".

You don't actually think I mind, or care, do you? You think you have some sort of power? over the internet? on this forum you are someone? If you said that to me in person, on the other hand. I'm sure you could not!

Do you know how many PMs I've receive about your 'group'? Are you aware of your reputation?

Dark chocolate rules. They used to make a Snickers with dark chocolate but I haven't seen it lately. Then again, I don't eat candy very often.
personal attack on forum members deleted by mod.

You are not helping your cause when you continue to insult this forum.
Honestly, you can try to walk it back all you want. At no time have you ever tried to say it was not exactly what you meant, despite numerous opportunities. You waited until you thought it would suit your purposes or somehow make you look less snarky and vindictive. I only posted the quote because I am such a big fan of irony. Meanwhile,

I am fairly certain not one person who has responded on this thread has ever called you or any other member of this forum a douchebag which is what you called me the other evening before deleting it the following morning. In fact, I'm sure none of us has ever called anyone else any name other than to call a troll a troll. Yes we disagree with some members. Hell, we disagree with each other. The difference is we handle disagreements like mature adults, move on and remain friends.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

And I have been so curious, why does the "go to" insult seem to be calling everyone old ladies? Is it ageism or misogyny? Does the ability to be mature and articulate somehow give the impression we are all old? Since I am neither old or a lady, it doesn't really insult me, LOL!
