Amway training, apparently.
As I said before, his responses are almost textbook-perfect examples of the responses of cultist recruiters facing opposition.

Tex2 - learn to use the quote function. It would make your responses much simpler to read and comprehend.
As a matter of fact, neither of my existing medical conditions are the result of poor diet or lack of exercise, though, of course, diet and exercise are good for nearly any condition. You don't want people dissing Amway without knowledge; don't diss other people's lifestyles without knowledge.
That you find biased salespersons to be a good source of information is VERY telling. You see, at a SKEPTIC site, a good source of information is, among other things, an unbiased source. That is why I accept no information from you about Amway, because you are a biased source (and because your method of dispersing information is generally rude and peurile).
That you choose to 'sell' Amway in a fashion that is all but undistinguishable from how people 'sell' their cults is equally telling.
At the moment, I am buying no products whatsoever. I have gone as long as three months without purchasing anything (other than things like power and phone service, obviously). When I buy food, I buy bulk quantities (a habit from having six kids to feed), so it tends to last. When I buy toiletries, same thing. My needs are few; my desires, even less. I shop but rarely - under normal circumstances, once or twice a month, in large bursts, and all carefully considered and planned out.
Now, as I said before, I was unaware Amway even existed. I haven't heard of their products in years - decades, actually. Unless they're selling under some other cover, that is. I merely pointed out that, after living in several states and in several different towns, this was the first time I've heard Amway mentioned - so it's not a really influential company, apparently, at least not at the level of common consumer.
That's it. Don't be angry. I'm not.

You owe me some answers before I get into that. LOL
My responses are VERY different from what you would hear from a typical IBO, an LCK, or an Amway employee. Ignorance is bliss, you must be ecstatic! LOLAmway training, apparently.

Could you make your posts any harder to read? Seriously you're so intermixing the text that it's hard to tell which are quotes and which are you.
Answers to what? I can't read your posts!!!

Maybe you could just restate your questions in a clear manner?
Maybe you're not worth the effort.

If the effort is too much for you here, you could always return to the comfort of your own blog.
Believe me, taking a little effort to make things more readable will be more rewarding in the long run than continuing to be a smarmy wiseacre. If you don't wind up banned for being uncivil, you'll wind up ignored by many, or turned into yet another forum kitty toy, like so many other posters have been, to be played with and batted around as amusement.
Let's look at the facts, shall we?
After expressing my surprise that this company was still around, you offered to give me your biased education about Amway. I rejected your offer, graciously enough, I thought, and gave my reasoning. As a result, you offered an insulting and rude comment about me choosing to remain ignorant, when all I did was reject your biased version of the facts.
This is what set me off, and drew me into this inappropriate conversation with you in the first place - rejecting your skewed perceptions is, in fact, choosing to avoid becoming more ignorant, actually.
That you continue to engage with me, seems to indicate that you feel I am, for some reason, 'worth the effort'; yet you refuse to consistantly use the quote function properly. Since I've already suggested you use it properly, and it is I you are taking the time to reply to, this indicates that you are choosing to remain uncivil.
Continue as you are now, and you will doubtless be reported by some to the moderators, who might very well decide you are acting uncivilly, or, worse, are advertising for Amway - something that can actually get you banned pretty quickly if taken wrongly.
So for your own sake, please take the time to use the forum features properly, and make your posts and replies legible to all forumites.
Thank you - good night.

So, would you care to clarify what part of what Z actually said - other than not being interested in become part of the Amway family - this refers to?
