Low Self Esteemed Demand Studios Sucks Posters Found Me Here!

I woke up one morning and thought, "Boy that was one heck of a dream!" But, as I woke up more, I quickly realized that this wasn't a weird dream.

Posters from Demand Studios Sucks found my comments on this blog. I didn't promote my previous posts, or tell anybody there about those blog posts. They simply managed to find my blog posts here. They reacted in a typical spoiled brat fashion, running back to DSS to vent.

After my last batch of blog posts replying to comments on my thread, I went about my other activities. I still had power over them, judging by their reactions to my comments.

I'm not the first person that they did this to. Janos Gal, from "The Mighty Highway Home," wrote a blog entry about Demand Studios Sucks. The posters on DSS reacted the same way they reacted to me.

One responder, "Catfish Charlie," commented under the article. Catfish Charlie claimed that the majority of DSS posters had advanced degrees.

I laughed at that comment... I still laugh at that idea!

While reading the DSS forum and blog post responses, I found a few things lacking. Their line of reasoning was irrational. They lacked critical thinking, logical thinking, reasoning abilities, the ability to communicate free from emotional bias, etc.

People with university degrees generally don't act juvenile on message boards. You'll find rational thought, critical thinking, logical thinking, etc, in their comments.

The DSS posters' attitudes and demeanor toward me argued against the idea that the "majority" of them "held" advanced degrees. Posters with advanced degrees treat people differently.

It's also obvious that Catfish Charlie never attended a university, given his attitude about online degrees. More on that in the following post.

Finding abrasive statements in my work doesn't negate my university experience. I've spent far more time in a military environment than I have in a university environment. My "abrasiveness" is in response to others' abrasiveness toward me. Other than that, you'll find the university graduate traits in the thought process behind my posts.

These DSS posters are still holding a complaint convention.

It seems like these people are more interested in massaging their bruised egos than they are with moving forward. Many of those posters see themselves as if they were accomplished Roman conquerors, when the rest of us see a bunch of phonies and posers... people with little to no experience in the workforce.

It's blatantly obvious that many aren't serious about building a freelance career. These people need to find work, even if involves satisfying someone's hamburger order.

Poser Troll on Demand Studios Sucks Suckers DSS Posters Into Thinking That he's/she's Me!

There's a troll that's getting under the DSS posters' skins. This troll posted under different usernames, to include the username that I used on Demand Studios Sucks. What's really sad is that some of the DSS posters fell for his/her stunts, hook, like and sinker.

That "thebesig" poster wasn't me though.

The only posts I've made on that website were on the thread that I started on that one DSS forum. I've never posted on the other DSS forums, and I've never posted in reply to one of their blog posts. That troll used my DSS username, as well as a distortion of my comments, to get under the skin of many Demand Sucks posters.

That ploy worked.

The poster that posted there, under the blog entries, as "thebesig," is a gutless coward poser, not me. Not only is he/she a gutless coward, but he/she is also a useful idiot... for the site owner and for me.

Demand Media Studios is running out of titles for their writers. More writers are moving on to other things, leaving Demand Studios and Demand Studios Sucks to their sinking. Once the final titles run out, what then? Demand Studios Sucks is already showing signs that it's being affected by Demand Studio's title shortage.

The number of writers, that'll run to DSS from DMS, is finite.

This troll, arguing with itself and using other people's usernames, is fighting a futile battle... trying to keep conversations going on Demand Studios Sucks.

But, like I indicated earlier, when the final batch of writers get shown the door, DSS will no longer be relevant. It'll follow DMS into obscurity.

In a wicked twist of fate, Demand Studios could still be around after Demand Sucks goes defunct. That'd be funny if things turned out that way.

As you're about to see, if I have something to say about something discussed on DSS, I'll say it here. If you see a comment from someone claiming to be "thebesig" on DSS, after I got banned from there, you're looking at a poser.

The Demand Studios Suckers Who Slam Online Degrees Obviously Don't Have University Degrees

The canard that online degrees are "worthless" as learning tools is nothing but pure myth. I've experienced three main credible ways to get a degree.

My university experience began with Illinois Institute of technology (IIT), and University of Minnesota (UM). I sat in a classroom/auditorium with other students, and received lectures from graduate assistants/professors.

I joined the military toward the end of my sophomore year in college. I continued again in the mid 1990s. This was my second university experience. This experience is usually known as the adult education/non traditional college student route. I attended college courses, after duty hours, in a military classroom. The student to teacher ratio was much smaller. The professors provided the lectures. If they couldn't make a lecture, another professor came in to give the lecture.

A few years later, I had my third university experience, also with the military. This was through Trident University... an online university that caters to the military community. When I went through, Trident University was known as Touro University International.

Catfish Charlie swoons over the traditional classroom college... on a freelance writer's website. He downplays online degrees... on a freelance writer's website.

Had Catfish Charlie attended college, he'd never disparage online universities/degrees.

Graduate Assistants taught many classes at UM and IIT. Did the professors do any better? One professor read from three handouts that she gave us. That was it for class that day. Another professor showed the same training films that many of us already saw in high school.

When it came to the involvement required for the class, they were a joke compared to what I had in high school. My high school honors classes were more challenging, and engaging, than the classes I took at UM and IIT. This was the main reason that I left and joined the military.

I joined the military at the end of my sophomore year (1991), then started back up with Saint Leo University (then Saint Leo College), 5 years later. I learned far more in the military college class arrangement than I did at UM and IIT. I got my associates and bachelors with Saint Leo.

I matriculated with Trident University for my MBA during the last decade.

I learned far more from the web based set up than I did by actually being in a classroom. This arrangement was completely flexible. There were no arranged class times. Students received a set of academic research priorities, an academic forum for class discussions, and the end of the term as the research paperwork deadline.

This was perfect. Many military students missed class lectures due to military commitments. The web based formats eliminated the schedule conflict issue.

Unlike the classroom counterparts, where you learned theory from textbooks and lectures, Trident linked you to the latest knowledge in the field. This was a first for my civilian education. Instead of emphasizing theory, they emphasized hands on/practical knowledge.

I used Tuition Assistance, and GI Bill cap, to pay for the later two. The military will NOT award either for courses taken at non accredited universities.

If I were to rate difficulty/challenge levels, and return-on-knowledge investment, the online degrees definitely rule. I know that from experiencing the traditional, non traditional, and web/virtual college set up.

Many students attending traditional universities are getting "raped" when it comes to knowledge return-on-investment and what they pay. My experiences at IIT and UM verified the information that I read from the book, Prof Scam: Professors and the Demise of Higher Education.

Online degrees are a perfect "lead in" to online work.

Catfish Charlie, posting on a freelance writer platform, missed that important point. He/she was more interested in pulling things out of his/her hind end.

Our brick and mortar college setting is currently designed to feed brick and mortar business operations. Our high school system is set up to provide people "in batches" to the industrial world... which tends to produce things "in batches."

Online degrees aren't for everyone. You need to be the type of person that thrives while working independently and without supervision. You need discipline, and the ability to stay focused on your goals without someone penalizing you for failing to "keep at it."

If you're a freelance writer, those traits should be familiar to you.

A real freelance writer/work at home professional, intending to have a career working from his/her home office, doesn't denigrate online degrees. Online degrees are to a work-at-home professional what traditional universities are to a brick and mortar work operation.

Many Demand Studios Sucks "Writers" are Easily Fooled and Manipulated

This retard didn't realize that he/she was replying to a phony... who also was using other commonly known names. I'm not surprised that this phony easily fooled this person into thinking that he/she was replying to me. This turd fell for one of my spelling/word usage/grammar traps... after I talked about how I used these traps in a debate.

"Really. How much money did you spend to get all those bogus degrees?" -- Retard DSS poster 

First, they're actual degrees from accredited universities.

Second, the tax payers paid for my degrees via Tuition Assistance and some of my Montgomery GI Bill. Once you're entitled to receive them, getting them isn't a guarantee. One major requirement is that the student attends an accredited university. Another requirement is that the student works toward the next higher degree. Students must also maintain a certain level of GPA.

If you think that my degrees are "bogus," take that up with the Department of Defense so that you could get laughed at... again.

"Did not one of your logic courses tell you how to spell 'ad hominem'? Maybe you'll say 'ad homonym' was a pun. Nice try." -- Retard DSS poster 

Yes, that's a trap, and you fell for it.

Like I said earlier, desperate posters, in an online debate, will wage an unprovoked grammar war. They can't take on their opposition during the debate. So they'll aim for grammar errors just to have something to say in response.

These people don't have the integrity to know that they've been beat. They don't take the honorable course of action of bowing out of a fight they've lost. Arrogance blinds them to reality, and drives them to keep on fighting.

I end up using their arrogance against them.

I deliberately put the wrong words in, or screw things up grammar wise, once the debate reaches a certain stage. I do this knowing that desperate people like you will fall for it. You're like one of the starving kids that I've seen clawing against each other on their way to tossed candy or coins.

You've also proven the other posters wrong, about people "not" reading my posts.

You shouldn't be speaking about logic if you decide on taking illogical courses of action... like continuing a debate that you've lost before you even started.

Also, you should police your own writing before you sweat other people's writing. "Really," in the context that you used in your first sentence on your post, should be followed by a "!" or "?"

I could keep using the term that you're belly aching over if I wanted to. Generations of people doing that caused Latin to turn into Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian.

So what does this all boil down to?

Your massive fail, at scoring points, speaks volumes about your desperation.

"Your site reminds me of people who are proud of winning arguments with parents who are Alzheimer's patients. When you set the bar that low, you shouldn't tell people how proud you are to have jumped over it." -- Retard DSS poster 

First, I'm pointing out the fact that I've argued against people like you before. I've got you guys pegged. I have a good idea of your psychological makeup based on your comments, reactions, attitudes, and demeanor.

Second, most of the retards that debate with me might as well be Alzheimer's patients. In Demand Studios Sucks, they came looking for a fight. I gave them that fight, and am making them look stupid as a result. I'm proud of destroying their argument and credibility. They deserve that treatment for checking their brains at the door before interacting with me.

What you dismiss as "setting the bar low" is actually good strategy.

For example, if I'm in charge of carrying an ambush out... and I notice that the enemy outnumbers my element in people and firepower, I'd stay put and not attack. I'd let them pass. If I see a hostile element that I could easily overpower, I'd initiate the ambush once their lead vehicle/element reaches the trigger point.

This is a combat strategy that most nations engage in. Judging by your comment, I doubt that you've ever heard the advice, "Pick your fights," or "Chose your fights wisely!"

This strategy applied to online debating?

I don't engage in debate unless I know far more about the topic than the opposition. Every time the debate turns to circumstances surrounding me, I've got a delicious advantage. Every single retard that talked nonsense about me got it wrong.

That puts them at a severe disadvantage in that part of the debate.

When it comes to topics that don't involve facts about me, I debate subjects that I have an extensive knowledge in. This knowledge is based on either first person experience, or topics I've done extensive research in.

Arguing the same topics puts me in position to where I've argued with people that play from the same script.

Again, I've got people analyzed and categorized. I have a good idea of you guy's psychological profile. I could also tell how long someone would fight before they wizen up and take the right course of action.

The people that tend to debate with me are the same ones that are arrogant, full of themselves, and think they know better when they don't, etc. These people accuse me of thinking that I'm always right, yet ignore the fact that they talk and act as if they think that they're always right.

You're one of them. So, if you want to apply the "Alzheimer's patients," comment, you're also slamming yourself.

So yes, anybody that keeps debating with me is a dumbass retard. They deserve to be treated like retards. Playing the opposition like a violin is part of what makes this hobby very entertaining.

"Your claim to fame is winning online debates since 2003 . . . in anonymous forums," -- Retard DSS poster 

Wrong. What I've actually said:

"Like everybody else, you missed the concept behind my pointing out that I've debated online since 2003." -- thebesig (the real one)

However, someone, in their juvenile reactions to my persistence, changed that to "winning online debates since 2003." This tells me one of two things.

1. Someone, in their move to take me out of context, successfully got you to believe them...

Or...

2. You're Ladidah herself.

I advance the above, "Perpetual debate since 2003," statement when I see that someone isn't bright enough to cut his/her loses. That's me telling them that they're not going to accomplish what they hope to accomplish with the exchange. Smart people get it, and act accordingly. Retards keep plowing on.

After a person replies to me a third time, there's a very good chance that I'm in for a protracted debate. When they start pulling the same ANTIQUES as those before them, they confirm their specific psychological makeup.

That's when I provide the statement, "I've been debating/doing this" since 2003.

" with no idea of the limited sensibilities of the people you're up against." -- Retard DSS poster "No shit"

If they had limited sensibilities, they would've ignored me from the beginning. They would've stopped talking about me shortly after I got banned. But they didn't. They kept belly aching about my debating on the Demand Sucks thread, and they still took swipes at me, months after I could no longer post there.

I'm sorry, but your posting buddies' actions prove you wrong.

Again, based on my online debating experiences, those with limited sensibilities don't debate with me. They ignore me from the beginning.

"What have you contributed to this world in the last eight years?" -- A retard DSS poster

Care to go to Iraq and talk to the Iraqis that thanked me? Or to the New Yorkers that thanked me for my service when I went to New York? Perhaps you could direct that question at those that have hired me for my services, other than Demand Media Studios.

Your next point deserves a post on its own. You obviously can't recognize a "cause and effect" trend.

The "Mindless Division" on DSS Would Stop if People Quit Contributing to It

"More mindless division? We don't have enough of that?" -- A retarded DSS poster

Look, I didn't start this fight. Like I said:

"Other than my first post, the rest of my replies were reactive. They were dependent on what the opposition said." -- thebesig (the real one)

Meaning, my actions hinged on the opposition's actions. If the opposition didn't attack me, it wouldn't have gotten as far as it did on Demand Studios Sucks' forums. These blog posts wouldn't exist.

I treat these online debates like a combat operation. I'll keep on firing until the opposition is neutralized. I didn't start this fight, but I'll certainly finish it.

I'm not causing division. That division existed long before I entered the picture. I'm going to stand my ground in debate. I'm also going to defend myself against deliberate lies. I'm willing to cooperate with those willing to cooperate with me. At the same time, if they want a fight, I'll deliver.

So, whether that division continuous to exist or not depends on what you guys do.

A Retard Demand Studios Sucks Poster Urges a War Veteran to Commit Suicide...

Suicide among Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans is a serious issue. Suicide throughout the military ranks is also a serious issue. Both, the military leadership and the military's civilian support system, are drumming up efforts to reduce/eliminate it. Non veteran friends and family play an important "intervention" role to help eliminate this.

This person (if you could call him/her that), obviously has no respect for the troops.

I've got a "Hall of Shame," on an international website, that I'm looking to induct this person into.

"Get some help, 'Jerome' before you hurt somebody. However, if you wish to suck the end of a .45 while you massage the trigger, go right ahead. You know you've been thinking about it. Give in to temptation and let yourself go." -- Retard poster "Meh"

First, you don't know what my cognitive processes are. You're not qualified to make a guess as to what's going on in my mind or not. You don't have a leg to stand on when determining what I "know" or "don't know," what I intend to do, or what I don't intend to do.

Now to fact check the rest of your drivel.

Within a few weeks after my unit returned from Iraq, all Soldiers that deployed spoke with a psychiatrist. The verdict? I'm normal, don't have issues, and don't need any psychological/psychiatric evaluations.

So, who should we believe? Some retard that has never met me, that's not even a psychiatrist, or a certified psychiatrist that has met me and made a professional decision?

Again, you don't know what my cognitive processes are. You're just speaking out of your arse.

What I said earlier:

People who are used to others ceding the fight to them... will describe someone who'll keep fighting them... as someone with a psychiatric disorder. I've had PTSD, ADHD, ODD, etc., thrown at me by people who argued others to death.

They usually did this in a panicky, or frustrated, mode, when they couldn't get the last word with me.

"Literally." -- Retard poster "Meh"

Pull your head out of your arse. Literally. I hope your parents take your computer privileges away before you hurt yourself further. They certainly need to administer corporal punishment on you, as your attitude shows that you're an obvious "upbringing" failure.

Enough with these antiques, it's time you losers started writing in Blue like a real man who's been winning online forum debates since 2003. In Blue.[/quote]

First, if your head were screwed on right, you would've advised them to quit wasting their time on Demand Studios Sucks. You'd tell them to either build on their writing careers, or to get a brick and mortar job. If they can't get a regular job, they could always go for an entry level job at McDonalds, Burger King, etc.

You need to lead the way, job applications in hand.

Second, you obviously missed the point behind my telling people how long I've been doing online debates. If you want them to argue like me, tell them to advance facts, logic and a reasoned argument.

I Wouldn't Be Surprised if This Demand Studios Sucks Poster Keeps Touching the "Red" Stove Burner Expecting to "not" Suffer Pain "This Time."

[quote]Posted by Retard Poster "Your Thread Sucks"

I think DSS is one of the worst things the Internet has to offer, but the amount of virtual ink you spill responding to DSS on your own blog is really, really sad.

Sure, the people left here are scraping the bottom of the barrel, but what does it say about you when this ragtag bunch of idiots gets that far inside your head?[/quote]

Really?

I made the last post, prior to you commenting about them, on Tuesday, November 29, 2011. You posted your reply on December 14, 2011. I made my last post, on DSS, in mid October, 2011.

You say nothing about your post, or the oppositions' posts, made in response to me weeks, even months, after I got banned from DSS. Your argument/comment applies to the opposition, including you. The cold hard reality is that I got deep under your skin, and managed to get deep into your minds.

I did this in a way that has you guys still bitching about me long after I've commented.

The blog posts that you cry about closes a debate out. I didn't make any additional comments after those posts. I didn't make any additional posts on Demand Studios Sucks. Yet, we've got retards taking swipes at me long after the fact. I don't see you bitching about them letting me get that far inside their heads.

You're as bad as the woman that complains about the tomato being too soft... after she squeezes it too hard.

What's really sad is the energy that you people burn complaining about Demand Studios, blog trolls, and me. You're STILL belly aching about Demand Media Studio injustices... yet some still work for them.

You people should be using that energy expanding your client universe. You guys should work on expanding beyond content farms. But no, you'd rather bitch about your fool's-paradise (Demand Media Studios) instead of facing reality.

You guys are still lashing out, in response to losing your easy money, instead of coming to terms with reality. You people wouldn't be constantly posting on Demand Sucks if you guys had writing opportunities that kept you busy.

The fast food restaurants in your area are looking forward to receiving your job applications. You'll do society a favor by serving them their fast food orders... instead of you constantly serving up your BS on Demand Studios Sucks.

A Demand Studios Sucks Troll Keeps Things Alive, by Manipulating People Into Replying to It

This retard poser proves that a person could live without a brain:

"Your weak argument proves that you belong with the DSS flunkies. I in no way, shape, or form spilled anything, including ink, virtual or otherwise. As for anything getting inside my head, read my posts. There is nothing inside my head save for cotton. You should improve your reading comprehension skills so that you can become a better writer such as myself. I wrote an award-winning blog post on how to cure a hangover." --Retard Poser 

I guess this person is too stupid to come up with an original username. Another possibility, this person is a gutless coward that can't post under his/her DMS or DSS identity.

Folks, these are the people that claim to be writers/editors. Some of these people claim that they're busy with writing projects... or that they're busy making thousands of dollars with one writing project.

Their constantly posting on Demand Studios Sucks, or their constantly complaining about Demand Media, makes those claims hard to believe. If they had that workload, and cash inflow, they wouldn't have reason to constantly complain about DMS... or other writers. These complaints are partly fueled by the money faucet slowing down to a trickle... with no more to come.

This troll needs to look for a job. If this troll has a job and is doing this on his employer's dime, I hope his employer discovers him in the act. McDonalds would be a better option for this troll. He wouldn't be able to post while trying to fill people's fast food orders.

A Village in Demand Media Studios is Missing its Idiot... I Found Him/Her

"Once again you display your ignorance by replying to things that were never said. I spent no money on any degrees, bogus or otherwise. The current temperature is 70 degrees, free of charge." -- Retard Poser (the troll, the phony)

You don't have a clue about what you're talking about.

Showing the Demand Studios Sucks Community How to Spot a Phony Veteran...

[quote]Phony Alert

If the people on this board had real minds (with IQs above 90) they'd be out making a living instead of hanging out here. I was a writer for DMS until there was nothing left to write. Believe me, I'd much rather be back at the steel mill or moonlighting as a security guard if I hadn't had both legs blown off by a roadside mine in Afghanistan. So count your blessings, guys, and put all your pisitive energy to work. Thanks.[/quote]

The term that we use is IED/IEDs, for Improvised Explosive Device. We also had to watch out for Vehicle Borne IEDs, or VBIEDs... or "V -bid" as we'd use in my unit. If you were truly in Afghanistan, you would've claimed that you lost your legs to an IED attack.

"Roadside mine" sounds like something you'd get from reading the newspaper.

Notice how I used my first hand military experience to expose this clown as a poser. THAT'S how you do it.

The Demand Studios Sucks posters went about it fueled by emotion. They didn't want to believe my factual claims simply because they didn't agree with me. Deep down inside, they didn't like the fact that I've accomplished things in life, unlike most of them.

This is another reason to why they should apply for a job. They'll feel better about themselves knowing that they're helping an organization move forward with its goals. It doesn't matter if this organization is a fast food restaurant, or a factory. It'd be a better option than what they're doing now.

What if they're employed and they're doing this?

If they're posting from their place of employment, they obviously lack initiative. They need to ask their supervisors for some business related tasks. They could also apply for a job at place that'll make more productive use of their time.

A fast food restaurant would be a good place for them to start. They'd be doing society a favor by serving up customer orders rather than serving up BS on DSS.

I Called Page1News Out, She Responds by Pulling Turds out of her Arse...

"What a fucking liar this guy is. Compare/contrast what I ACTUALLY posted and his spin on the truth. There is nothing more I hate than liars." -- Page 1 News

If you took your time to read what I said, without the emotion, anger, and hair up your rear, you would've recognized your own writing. Instead of addressing everything that you said, I zeroed in on the areas where you pulled nonsense out of your hind quarters.

Here's how I obtained the post that you claimed I "lied" about:

I copy and pasted your entire post. I converted it to plain text, which caused it to lose its original color. What you said remained the same. I went though and deleted the parts of your statement that didn't directly address me.

If you look at what I addressed, within your whining post, you'd notice your own words. I'm going to show you that I preserved what you said.

I replied to your actual words, there's no lie involved.

"He's clearly an unhinged military dude with an M-16." -- Page 1 News

That's not the first time that someone accused me of being "unhinged." Of course, when someone accused me of being "unhinged," it was my persistence with my replying to them... or my refusal to let their BS stand.

On a side note, we use the M4 carbine. That's the weapon that most of us deployed with, that's the weapon that most of us train with. The civilian equivalent would be the AR-15. Once we're stateside, our carbines stay in the armory until we need it for training or marksmanship. We don't walk around, armed, stateside like we do while on the range, in the field, or downrange.

"Makes me think this whackadoodle is my intense IRL stalker. SCARY SHIT! Someone call Interpol, ASAP!" -- Page 1 News

A stalker will try to talk to you using different usernames. They'll act like they're different people. Go back and study the writing, as well as attitude/tone, on the posts from your stalker and me. If you put bias aside and reviewed the posts with common sense and logic, it'd be blatantly obvious that I'm not your stalker.

However, it appears that doing things professionally, and logically, are too much for you, so I'll save you the time. I don't know who your "IRL stalker" is. This is the first time I've heard of this stalker. Guaranteed, your stalker and I are two different people.

You need to have a psychiatrist review your paranoia.

LOOKS LIKE HE TOOK MY ENTIRE POST OUT OF CONTEXT)

For many people, having the integrity to swallow one's pride, and recognize reality... to cede the fight, is simply too much.[/quote]

Let's simplify this. You jumped on the band wagon and talked crap about me... or made severely erroneous assumptions about me. Both these actions reflected in your post. For instance, your slamming my use of blue, talking about what a favorite color says about you, etc. You closed by giving me advice without knowing what my objectives were.

Your posting buddies may not be bright, but don't assume that everyone else is gullible. Your massive paragraphed post, with no paragraph break, was an attempt to shield your attack against me.

You were hoping that I'd treat that post like I did with your other posts. That didn't work. I pulled the parts of your posts attacking me, and supplied counter attacks.

I explained why it's an inductive fallacy. You said that "Red" was your favorite color. The assumption? That blue was mine. That's the straw man part. Without knowing me, you insinuated that blue was my favorite color. You asked the question about what one's favorite color said about them. I explained to you that red, not blue, was my favorite color.

If people are having horrible seizures, they may need to back away from using drugs. There are other types of causes as well, but they're medically related. Examples include past brain injury, dementia, brain deteriorating illness and the like. It's not the blue color that's doing it. (HIS READING COMPREHENSION SUCKS ASS)[/quote]

Key word, "seizures." You mentioned it in your comment; I mentioned it in my reply.

Who had seizures? According to your statement, "the poor girl." How else does one "get" those seizures? According to your statement, you get it, "when you have to look at your awful shade and hue of blue."

A check on a credible website that talks about seizures points to other possible causes. The list includes drugs and medically related causes. This website made no mention of people getting "horrible seizures" like what they "get" when looking at blue text.

Nope, nothing wrong with my reading comprehension skills. But again, you seem to have problems recognizing what you wrote.

Then, there's typography and point sizes. I like funky fonts, but, unfortunately, too many people get stuck in the arial and helvetica ruts. Did you know that the classic way to design is by creating an "S" shape on your page? This way, the reader's eyes flow throughout the entire page. Photo placements also are important. You should always make sure that whatever photo subject you have is not facing off the page. Sometimes, you can get by with off-page photos if you are creating an inside page, but it's still bad form. Your use of point sizes also is important. I bet you don't know how many points are in one pica. I still use a pica pole, color wheel and photo sizing wheel when I create some types of print materials. I'm old-school in a lot of ways. Hey, I even had a dog that I named Pica. She was a good dog. She lived 14 1/2 years, and then I had to put her down last winter. The poor girl started having horrible seizures; the same kind you get when you have to look at your awful shade and hue of blue. I also had a wonderful German Shepherd dog. His name was Midnight, but I had to put him down last winter, too. I think he was suffering from a broken heart because Pica was gone. I'm a dog person, so I couldn't last more than a week without a dog. Then I adopted a Caanan mix, and her name is Panda because she's black and white. I love her lots. She's a mama's girl. About DMS; I don't think there is anyone out on the Web that hates DMS more than I do. The best revenge is obtaining far better work for far better pay, doing what you love to do. Mr. Blue Man, it seems what you love to do is play on the Internet all the time, looking for forums to infiltrate. It's too bad that the owner of the Internet doesn't pay you for all that hard work. I gather you'd be rich, rich man. Anyhoo, back to fun, fun, fun. I so wish DSS's color palette included custom colors. Your blue is just hideous. Granted, my red is pretty lackluster, but at least it's bolder and makes more of a statement. It's all in the presentation, as illustrated by my Great Wall of Text. There are just too many words, and it's the reason I haven't and won't read anything on this thread. Too many words hurt my eyes, and I move on to something else. If you have something to say, just say it. Get to the point and be done with it.[/quote]

The remainder of the post that she complains about follows. Notice how the above underlined sections match what I actually addressed:

Page1News: About DMS; I don't think there is anyone out on the Web that hates DMS more than I do. 

There are posters on DSS that hate Demand Media Studios, but still write for them. They'll vent up a storm while taking the steady DMS paycheck. I guess the false sense of being a writer outweighs the costs of having to deal with DMS' cadre.

It's a good thing that your marksmanship is nowhere near like your assumptions about me. If it were the same, someone wanting to commit suicide would simply stand behind you as you try to shoot the target in front of you.

Your assumptions are dead wrong on two main counts.

First, getting better paying writing assignments is precisely what I've done. Demand Media Studios was never my only client, and it never was my only paying client. DMS represented a trap. Because of the easy money, because of the titles that were available, it was easy to just write articles.

Many people wrote articles instead of prospecting for other clients. Why bother? They were getting a constant paycheck.

I never intended to spend the rest of my life writing for clients paying me for cheap content articles. It's also not a good idea to have just one client providing you with all your income. Many in Demand Studios made that mistake.

Part of the reason I was able to stop writing regularly for DMS, two years before they let me go, was because I had other income streams. Demand Studios was just a stepping stone, a client to add to my client list. I didn't let myself fall into the Demand Media trap.

Second, unless you could watch me 24/7, and record my actions, you don't have a leg to stand on trying to dictate what I do with my time. You're fully capable of noting the times that I posted on Demand Studios Sucks' message board. You're also fully capable of noting my posting frequency.

You're also fully capable of seeing the cause and effect going on in that thread.

These two variables would tell you that your assumptions are dead wrong. But whom am I trying to kid? The opposition doesn't seem to be big in the critical thinking department.

I don't have time to post on message boards all day long. I don't always post on message boards. I'm too busy following my own priorities of work. Non writing activities fall around that.

Page1News: Anyhoo, back to fun, fun, fun. I so wish DSS's color palette included custom colors. Your blue is just hideous. Granted, my red is pretty lackluster, but at least it's bolder and makes more of a statement. 

Based on what I've seen on other message boards, blue, or other colors close to it, are popular text colors. I'm not the only one that posts with a text color other than black. It's very rare that I'd find someone using red text color or a color close to it.

Your description of my text color reflects your emotions. It shows that you're blinded with bias and that you have absolutely no sense of logic. The sooner you realize that your opinion on me doesn't constitute fact or logic... the sooner you could move forward to becoming a critical thinking person.

Page1News: If you have something to say, just say it. Get to the point and be done with it.   

That's precisely what I'm doing.

You also have to remember that my post volume is related to what the opposition says. If someone says something... and I could ask questions that would've been answered if the person wrote a longer piece... then that someone wrote something the represents an epic fail.

Don't give me advice if you don't know my objectives. A doctor that pulls your stunt would get sued for malpractice.

Demand Studios Sucks' "Walk Away" Attempts to Suck Page's Arse and Make her Feel Better...

"Page, it wouldn't surprise me if this cocksucker is your stalker. And if he is, I hope he gets what is coming to him. He needs to shut the fuck up and take his meds. It's clear that the crazy is strong with this one." -- Retard Poster "Walk Away"

First, what are you basing your assumptions on? Emotion? I don't see how you could be basing that on facts, or any evidence that'll "connect" her stalker to me. I know for a fact that I'm not her stalker.

Second, it doesn't surprise me that you have your head shoved far up Page1News' arse. Pray that she doesn't snap your neck while making a hard turn around the corner. Anybody, with at least half a brain, that saw my blog posts would notice that I addressed comments that I couldn't reply to on the forums.

Let me go real slow for you so that you could hopefully understand what I'm saying.

After I got banned from Demand Studios Sucks forums, I could no longer post on my DSS thread. I responded by addressing those that attacked me, afterwards, on my blog. This means that I replied to more than one person, not just Page1News.

If she weren't interested in lying to you guys, she would've told you guys that I replied to other people as well, not just to her. That's not "stalking" by any stretch of the imagination.

It's also clear that you lack the ability to be observant, and to connect the dots based on what you see. Since you're too stupid to see this, let me break this down for you.

Let "X" be the dumbass retards responses to me.
Let "Y" by my reply dismantling their dumbass replies.

If "X," then "Y." if not "X," then not "Y."

If you remove the cause, "X," you'll remove the effect, "Y." If someone spreads propaganda about me, I'll provide a fact check. If that person shuts up, I won't have an excuse to say something in response.

If you still don't get this, hire a retard interpreter. Have him break this down into retard terms so that you could hopefully understand what I'm getting across.

I wouldn't be surprised if the freak show cadre came out, collected you, and apologized for letting their specimen out of its cage.

Demand Studio Sucks' Queenoffckall has her Head Shoved so far up her Arse, she Needs a Glass Belly Button to See...

"Page, he's a crazy motherfucker. Just let it go. Yelling about it does fuck all. Just enjoy the fact that you got to someone so bad they had to dedicate a fucking website to what basically amounts to, 'My mom says I'm cool!'" -- queenoffckall

That's why you're on that thread, months after I got banned from it, still cussing and swearing about my actions, right? I must've gotten to you so bad that you forgot the fact that I got banned from making posts on Demand Studios Sucks. Consequently, I had to continue the discussion on one of my blogs.

If you were capable of reading beyond a 5th grade reading level, you'd notice that I replied to other posters on that thread, not just Page1News. You'd also notice that what I said depended on what was said against me. She gave her opinion, and I countered that with the fact that many others didn't share her opinion.

That's not an attempt to say, "My mom says I'm cool." That's me making a point proving her point wrong.

Again, I completed the argument on my blog, as I couldn't post on DSS' forums. Simple "cause and effect."

This has nothing to do with people "getting to me," and everything to do with debunking you people's anti "thebesig" propaganda.

If you pulled your head out of your rear end, and removed your horse-blinders, you'd see that.

Demand Studios Sucks Also Sucks--The Writing Portfolio Building Strategy They Didn't Want to See Part I

One of my earlier blog entries here talked about getting even instead of getting mad.

This plan had two prongs of attack. The first prong entailed continuing to write for Demand Media Studios (DSS). The second prong involved those who could no longer write for Demand Studios.

My explanation, on Demand Studios Sucks' (DSS) forum, would've included a third prong. Here's how my proposal would've gone.

1. If you still work for Demand Studios, continue to write for them.

Since many DSS posters only had DMS as a client, this wouldn't have been a problem. Instead of venting on DSS, they should submit their complaints through Demand's grievance channels. It would've been a simple matter of converting their complaints to a constructive message... then sending it to Demand's editorial team.

Let's face it. If a writer continues to write for Demand Studios, the former ratifies their agreement with the later.

Here's a glimpse of the basics of this agreement.

The writers write for Demand Media. They agree to Demand Studio's working arrangement. In exchange for this service, Demand pays the writers a certain sum of money per article. This working relationship requires the writer to work with DMS' cadre, to include voicing questions, concerns, complaints and suggestions.

What if Demand Media Studios' owners end up filthy rich, because of the writer's efforts? This shouldn't stop the writer from completing his end of the deal. Why? The writer agreed to DMS' working and compensation conditions.

Many freelance writers chose to "take the abuse," just for $15.00 per article. Many of them run to Demand Studios Sucks and complain about Demand Media despite this fact. Ethically, this isn't right.

So, I would've advised them to "milk" Demand Media Studios for all it's worth. They would've written as much articles as they can before DMS removes their writing privileges.

If groups of DSS writers provided constructive feedback, they could get attention. This is important if specific Content Editors abuse their positions.

2. Fight back against Content Editor shady practices, while building individual writing portfolios.

Many DSS posters complained about Content Editors (CE) shady practices. This included editors stealing a rejected writer's work as their own... then getting those articles approved for publishing.

A writer for Demand Studios can apply for other DSS positions. They had other employment options. Many of their writers were also Content Editors. Some of these editors didn't have scruples. First, they'd copy and paste the writer's work, then reject an article. Then they'd log out of their editor account. They'd log back in as a writer, claim the article, tweak the writer's words, then submit that article as their own.

The posters on Demand Studios Sucks didn't have to take this sitting down.

Once they received a rewrite request, they'd evaluate their chances of resubmitting their re-writes. If they felt that no matter what they did, their article would get rejected, the writer could simply sit on the re-write request.

They have 4 days to submit the rewrite. Freelance writers could use this time to repost, what they've written for that article, to another website. All they have to do is rewrite the title. When 4 days are up, the title goes back to the writer cue.

If an unscrupulous CE stole the writer's works, he'd be guilty of plagiarizing. That's because the writer had already published that same, or very similar, article elsewhere. The writer could then wreck havoc... by complaining to the client that received his article, as well as to those that operate the search engines.

With multiple writers doing this, Demand Studios could become a plagiarizer many times over.

Continued in the post below this.

Demand Studios Sucks Also Sucks--The Writing Portfolio Building Strategy They Didn't Want to See Part II

3. Write update articles to those already posted on Demand Media Studios client websites.

The third prong would apply to those no longer working for Demand Studios. The fired writer would simply look at eHow and other Demand client websites. He'd look for topics that fit his interests.

Once he finds an article that doesn't match reality, or that isn't quite correct, he writes an updated article. He posts this article on his blog, or sells it to another one of his clients.

Ehow's articles don't have a publish date. This gives the reader the impression that he's looking at something that's new. Demand Media's writing requirements, for each article, sets them up for long term failure. Their writing style automatically puts a short shelf life on most of its articles.

This gives a former Demand Studios' writer a chance to build a writing portfolio.

All they'd have to do is pick an eHow category that fits their expertise. The freelance writer would write an updated version of the outdated eHow article. The writer would write it in a way that it'd have a longer shelf life.

The freelance writer would then publish this updated article on a competitor's website.

If enough former Demand Media writers do this, they could collectively erode Demand Studio's credibility. This'd happen over the long run. If the writer submits the updated article to DMS' competitors, their credibility would go up at DMS' expense.

Demand Studios expects to continue to earn money from articles their client sites already have. Discredit those websites, with articles representing updates over the eHow articles, and DMS can lose its bread and butter.

This tactic gives a former Demand Studios writer an arsenal of articles in an expertise area... a writing portfolio that'll get his foot into the door for a real client.

Let's say that a writer has experience with arts and crafts. She knows that eHow has many outdated arts and craft articles. She writes updated home and crafts articles. These articles are more accurate than the corresponding eHow article. She publishes them in Ezine Articles, Associated Content, or another Demand Media Studios competitor.

Armed with these articles, and her working knowledge on arts and crafts, she could approach businesses that sell arts and craft items. She could offer to write their introductory letters and collateral marketing or information materials. She could also approach a non profit organization, that specializes in making arts and craft items... and offer to write their fund raising letters.

This approach does two things for the writer. It provides closure. It also arms her to open new doors for her freelance writing services.

This is the key.

My plan didn't require them to give me money, as many of them assumed. Many Demand Media Studios posters preferred complaining under anonymity. The freelance writers didn't want to leverage their numbers to lobby for change within DMS.

Some DSS posters talked about making fun of Demand's fired writers. These posters don't realize that by drastically reducing article availability, DMS is constantly issuing pink slips.

If Demand Studios runs out of titles in their cue, and if no more titles arrive, every Demand writer would effectively be fired.

For many Demand Studios writers, this is the kiss of death for their writing career. Most only had Demand Media as a client. They never bothered to expand their client base. This will be the subject of the post below this.

Demand Studios Sucks Also Sucks--Demand Media Studios' Practices That Made DSS Possible

Demand Media Studios has a system set up. This system gives the Content Editors (CE) an advantage over the freelance writer. Everybody working for Demand Studios must have a profile. When an article, needing edits, lands in a CE's editing cue, they know who the freelance writer is.

They edit the article, and either approve it for publishing, or kick it back to the writer, with comments.

When the freelance writer gets the article, all they know is that a CE reviewed it. They don't know which CE reviewed their article. This anonymity allowed the CE to say things they normally wouldn't say to the freelance writer's face. This opened the door for CE's to psychologically abuse the freelance writer.

I've written for publishers and marketers. They've provided me with feedback on my writing. They were always professional, gave me actionable advice, and treated me like a human. They understood what Demand Media Studios' CEs didn't, that my writing was valuable to the overall effort.

Both, the editor and the writer are members of a team. They're not hostile enemies in a perpetual state of war.

Many content editors treat writers like "retards." They force the writer to rework their articles with the assumption that the reader is also a "retard."

With the CE being a faceless entity, the freelance writer is dealing with an "unseen" nemesis... one that abuses its veil of anonymity.

Demand Media should've set their system up fairly.

Freelance writers should know who they're working with. It helps to know who to complain about if a CE is abusive, or abrasive. If enough writers named this one CE in their complaints, Demand Studios could take action.

Content Editors were able to evaluate the freelance writer's work. The writers had no way of evaluating the content editors.

DMS had a one way system in place. Their Content Editors had control of a freelance writer's writing future with Demand Media. Their freelance writers had no way to influence a CE's editing future with DMS.

Result? You had Content Editors that had power trips and who overdid their jobs. They could make comments like, "Tell the reader which way to turn the screw!" or ask questions like, "Which end of the pencil goes into the pencil sharpener?"

Demand Media's CEs abused multiple writers, and refused to hear many of their complaints. They controlled what happened on their forums. These forums were partly intended as a place a writer could voice his suggestions and complaints.

One freelance writer had enough of this. Enter the, "Demand Studios Sucks," complete with its own forums. Many freelance writers migrated from Demand Studio's forums to the DSS forums to voice their real opinions.

Since money talked, many of these posters kept writing for Demand Studios.

Demand Studios Sucks Also Sucks -- Why DSS Will Follow DMS Downhill, Unless They Change Their Focus

I created a posting profile on Demand Studios Sucks. I jumped on the introduction forums, and created my first post. The first response was a confused look smiley, and the second response was a flame.

I responded, and got a flame war. I fired back, salvo after salvo. Had one person, also brand new, attack me. I responded and put her in her place. After a few exchanges, the administrators banned my username. The reason for the ban? "Irrelevant posts."

My replies had everything to do with the responses. The opposition's arrogance blinded them to a glaringly obvious fact. Other than my first post, the rest of my replies were reactive. They were dependent on what the opposition said. You'll see my final set of replies below this post.

Moderators, on real message boards, would lock a thread if it contains nothing but irrelevant posts. That didn't happen on Demand Studios Sucks.

They left the thread open, so that more posters could come in and make irrelevant posts.

Reading the responses, I came up with a profile for a typical poster. Demand Studios Sucks poster, Groundskeeper Willie, sums up some of their traits. He broke the trend, reprimanding the other posters. Through the course of the exchange, he made this comment:

[quote]Originally posted by Groundskeeper Willie

@ thebesig: Don't take the garbage in this thread seriously. Here's the thing. Many DSSers are damaged from being in an abusive relationship with DMS for years. To be honest, I've only met a few DSSers, like imnotaslave, who seem mentally stable.

Point being, they have years of stored up pain. They can't take it out on DMS, so they take it out on "n00bs" and "zombies," as they call them.

But here's the other thing. Most DSSers are up shit creek right now. They have no other clients, gigs or opportunities outside DMS. Few of them are educated or have work experience. Some of them, like Truthagainst, have even talked about robbing people for money. She PMed me the other day and told me she felt like she "could kill a bitch."

Point being, they're desperate. If you show them a way forward--a way to move on and take out their pain on their real enemy--they will drop their defenses and greet you like the messiah.
I'm a little disappointed you haven't returned yet. But you seem like a stand up guy, and it's Sunday, so maybe you're at church. I can't wait for you to get home!

Sincerely,
Willie[/quote]

His statements were consistent with what I observed when I originally lurked DSS. That's one reason I wanted to give them my game plan. Their replies to my thread solidified my suspicion, what "Groundskeeper Willie" summarized above.

Demand Media Studios is a "jackpot" deal for many freelance writers just getting started.

You write articles for their websites, eHow, Essortment, COD, SoYouWanna.com, etc. In return for your efforts, you received $15.00 or more per article. Anybody that could stay with the computer, who doesn't mind researching, could earn money all day.

If you play it right, you could pay your monthly living expenses pumping articles out for Demand Media. Once you get paid for your articles, you could tell people that you get paid for your writing. Demand Studios is easy money, but it could also trap the writer's career development.

A freelance writer should be looking for more clients. They should also be looking to do writing assignments in different writing arenas. Content farms are a good start, but they shouldn't be the sole source of income, or the sole writing that's done.

But, why waste time looking for new clients when you could use that time writing $15.00 articles?

The Demand Studios Sucks posters that debated with me came across as "give me my handout" types. They put the effort to their articles, and they get paid. Do enough articles a day, and you could defray your living expenses, plus put money aside... all from working from home.

The majority of them only had Demand Studios as their client.

The majority of these writers also didn't have that much to be proud of accomplishment wise. Demand Media gave them "a purpose" in life. It gave them a feeling of being "freelance writers." It gave them a source of income. It helped them ignore their low self esteem.

When DMS announced that it'd cut down the article workload, many freelance writers were up in arms. A couple of the posters that debated with me posted responses to that article.

Below is a comment that "BurnCEs" made under Business Insider.com's "Demand Media is Cutting Back on Its Massive Volume of Writing."

[quote]BurnCEs, October 7, 2011 said:

"We will also be putting additional focus on helping you grow within your fields."

Because that's where many of you will be living by the end of the month.[/quote]

Why should anybody be living in the fields? Because they can't get money from Demand Media Studios? This wouldn't be a problem if these writers had other clients to write for. It's like what John Wayne said:

"Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid." --John Wayne

Now that they're losing their main, or sole, bread and butter, most are content with just complaining. Some tried to bill themselves as busy writing for Demand Studios... yet they were posting on Demand Studios Sucks with impunity.

Find a Demand Media related post, and you'll see many writers venting their frustration.

As freelance writers, they should consider these kinds of activities as "waste." Time they're spending on Demand Studios Sucks or other blogging websites, is time they're not devoting to their writing career.

A once in a while "helping hand" post is OK. Living in a message board, constantly posting there day in and day out, over the year, is a different story.

Back on my thread, I told them that if they're not writing for a client, they should be writing for their writing portfolio. That fell on deaf ears.

My plan called on them to constructively harness their "anger." They could "get back" while building their writing portfolios. If they weren't hell bent on being suspicious, and being on the attack, they'd realize that I was giving them a chance to move forward.

My banning covered two problems for DSS.

1. Demand Studios Sucks' administrators failed to provide leadership for the disgruntled DSS community. Demand Sucks' blog is focused on writing articles that aren't flattering to Demand Media. This attitude spills over into their message boards. Writers there are simply content with slamming Demand Studios.

Anger and resentment toward DMS is the fuel that drives the DSS community. This leads to the second problem...

2. There's no real push towards a post-Demand Studios world.

I offered both, leadership and purpose. The community rejected both, partly because they couldn't get beyond their hatred and frustration over Demand Studios.

This isn't healthy.

If Demand Media Studios becomes a non issue in the future, what happens to Demand Studios Sucks Forums? There'd be nothing to complain about. The complaints will continue for a few weeks... or months. But complaining about an organization that becomes irrelevant would only take the site so far.

Without a post-Demand Media world plan, Demand Studios Sucks will itself become irrelevant. Sadly, the careers of many beginning freelance writers would've ended long before this happens.

Demand Studios Sucks also Sucks, Opposition Posts on Forum but Pretends to be Busy Writing for Clients

This person tried to portray the opposition as "real" writers who had better things to do than to get revenge... like writing full time for Demand Media Studios.

This person tried to portray me as not being cut out to be a writer, as I got released from Demand Studios. Never mind that I mentioned the fact that I virtually stopped writing for them two years prior to them releasing me.

Unlike the opposition, I've written for other clients. I also had access to clients who need articles written.

This person's claim begged the question. If they were busy with a full writing workload, what where they doing constantly posting on Demand Studios Sucks Forums?

Devil You Know spewed this:

[quote="Devil_youknow"](REPEAT POINT)

Yeah dude, I don't know about that but you still got fired from DMS.

Tee hee.  You couldn't even cut it there.  That's funny to me.

(REPEAT POINT) [/quote]

And this:

[quote="Devil_youknow"](REPEAT POINT)

Dude. All of what you wrote was way too long so I didn't read it.

BUT YOU GOT FIRED FROM DMS!!!  That's sooo funny to me!  :D

(REPEAT POINT) [/quote]

You hacked up a large rant when I wasn't here. Yet, while I posted my last batch of replies, all you could do is hack up a couple two liners? Really? Do you normally turn yellow when the opposition shows up?

Again:

"I wrote for Demand Studios regularly from late 2008 to early 2009. I only wrote two articles for them since then. They let me go on July 31, 2011. Not a loss, no regrets here. Matter of fact, I was glad that they let me go, I even let them know that. I've posted my letter to them on one of my blogs in case anybody is interested." -- thebesig

I wrote my last article for them, that they accepted, in February, 2009. I wrote two articles between July of 2009 and July of 2011. Through the course of 2 years, I only wrote two articles for them. The re-write request had nothing to do with my writing.

Those two articles aside, I stopped writing for them, on a regular basis, for two years. Their finally letting me go had no impact on me, income wise or emotion wise. I'm surprised that they didn't let me go sooner. It wouldn't have mattered to me one way or the other.

Your ranting the above is equivalent to trying to make fun of someone that had just got released from jail... for being released from jail.
