OK, here’s the thing:<\/p>\n
Some people get frustrated with me (hard to believe, right?) because I’ll mention something I notice goo-roos doing. Or elude to something a specific goo-roo teaches. Or even come right out and describe a goo-roo and what they’re doing… but, without naming them.<\/p>\n
And this bothers some people.<\/p>\n
Their constant jonesing for gossip is STRONG.<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, here’s the reason:<\/p>\n Besides the potential legal<\/em> ramifications… it can make you look either butt hurt and jealous or, even worse, (if you don’t have rock solid evidence) like a rat.<\/p>\n A big, fat rat.<\/p>\n And amigo, nobody ever really trusts a rat.<\/p>\n (Except other rat-like people, of course.)<\/p>\n Guys who go around naming names and make accusations without any hard, indisputable evidence are basically rats. And, even if they are not a rat, are right in their assessment of whoever they are calling out, and have the evidence, it can still come back and bite you some day.<\/p>\n Why do you think good cops don’t rat out dirty cops?<\/p>\n Or why drug dealers won’t talk to the DEA?<\/p>\n (Even if they have a chance to screw over a competitor — yes, I’ve been watching too much “Breaking Bad”, but whatever…)<\/p>\n For every action, there’s a reaction.<\/p>\n And you may not like the consequences.<\/p>\n Now, if you MUST do it, at least be smart.<\/strong><\/p>\n Do your homework.<\/p>\n Triple check your facts.<\/p>\n And then triple check them again.<\/p>\n But, even then, don’t expect to sleep well.<\/p>\n One of my good friends is VERY good at calling out bad guys by name — one of the few who does it in a classy, non-rat-like way. But he’s the first to admit it’s hair-raising and he’s not sure it’s worth it.<\/p>\n Plus, there’s the time factor.<\/p>\n Who has time for all that research?<\/p>\n To obsess over someone else?<\/p>\n Why not put that energy into your own business?<\/p>\n Hey, do whatever ye like.<\/p>\n But this is why I only talk about “types.” I give my *opinion* about behaviors and tactics and you either heed or SPURN my advice.<\/p>\n Very clean.<\/p>\n Very simple.<\/p>\n Anyway, that’s my take.<\/p>\n And, let’s face it, I’m right (ha).<\/p>\n Next “Email Players” issue goes to the printer in a few days.<\/p>\n Be here or be nowhere:<\/p>\n
