[Lee Pryor]

I am totally fed up with this place and a small handfull of people in it that litterally ruin it for everyone else.

So my thread which yet again got highjacked by Dry Clean is now locked. Why? because I have had enough of this guy directly insulting me and his constant negative attitude. Why is he still here moderators!!! It just doesnt stop from him.

Until he decided to get involved my thread was interesting to most and provided details of suppliers I use,and how things are done at a larger scale, which does inspire people to do the same and move their business forward. What does dry clean do? Bring people down thats all.

Im fed up of being told to develope a thicker skin by people that have never met me. My skin is probably the thickest here or I wouldnt be able to do what im doing with my business.

Its not about a thick skin its about not wanting constant abuse from morons who have achieved next to nothing and hide behind their fake name. Probably wouldnt do this on the facebook forum would you dry clean, not where I could see who you really are and where you are. Your a coward.

How often do we read post from people that say they would contribute something posetive but say they dont get involved on here anymore because the the small few that ruin it. I hear that all the time away from this forum when people in the background contact me directly. People that would have alot of good advice to offer here.

So rather than just ranting what about a solution. Well how about this (which im sure wont be done) On other forms of social media people have the ability to block other people. I dont want Dry clean to post on any of my threads or comment about me on others. Hes not the only one I would happily never hear from again. Why not add a feature to the forum to enable this. The person who starts a thread could be given the ability to block certain people from posting on it.  If we had that I could have blocked Dry clean, my thread would still be active and I would still be ansering questions from people that want to do the same marketing. Instead arguments took place thanks to one person and the thread is now locked and no longer helping people that want to learn. How does that make for a good forum!

dont take the bait then lee......we all know what seans like.....hes a sad little man that could have an argument in an empty room with chips on both shoulders.always sniping and putting others down....we ve all met people like that in life...in fact in my younger crazier drinking  days ive punched a fair few after one too many drinks......

[Dry Clean]

To be fair I will hold my hand up, I did call him an Idiot, but lets be clear 8 weekly called me the same and I'm not crying looking him banned, in reference to his locked thread, I had said I would butt out so not sure why it was locked after that.

[Llaaww]

Dry clean if you read the post you would see that Lee doesn't want you to post on any of his threads, why not simply respect the guys wishes and make a point of not posting.

There has been some good business done on this forum over the years, it helps to keep the wheels turning for a lot of people. Sadly it seems that a handful of morons make it harder to enjoy.

[Klean07]

I enjoy reading Lee's posts as they give me the drive and energy for me to keep driving my business forward. However when I see negative comments I just ignore them and I'm sure others will too!
Sometimes I put ads on my local face book group but sometimes get negative comments regarding WFP V Trad and although in my mind I feel like contributing to the issue I don't because I know genuine people will ignore anything negative and move on.

[deeege]

Maybe having a ‘Lee Pryor containment thread’ where Sean cannot post could be the answer?

I know you post some interesting stuff Lee, especially for the fellas that want to grow big domestic rounds, but you also have to respect that not everyone on here wants to copy your business model.

Having your own singular thread would mean you could post your milestones and updates without winding up those who think you are here to massage your ego.

[JBC88]

Lee as well as post here why don't you now go head long into your YouTube channel? You would reach new audiences, the negative comments would get drowned out and you would likely generate income from it after you get enough subscribers and likes etc.

I would personally love to see guidance and videos building a business in the first 3 years of business. Everything would likely be done on a smaller scale to what you do currently but I imagine it to be some scalable plan as you grow.
 I also think the hardest part at the one man band stage is generating enough regular customer enquiries to take the plunge with employing, interviewing correctly and attracting the right employees and developing systems to run the business. These challenges definitely hold me back atm.

The problem is for the sake of their own ego's some on here want you to think its hard, Iv went from a one man band to employing two guys in the last six months and there's nothing hard about it, what holds most if not all back is they want or think they can do it cost free.

[Spotfree]

I agree, some people are just here to entertain themselves and the other small minority.

Pain in the backside, yeah you could just ignore them but they could also just shut the hell up.

Why not create your own forum lee? If CIU won't do anything about the situation then they will suffer as a consequence as I'm sure many will move over.

You'll have total control of the environment, I can bet that these certain people who are dead set on bringing others down on here are stopping a lot of people from expressing themselves fully through fear of being ridiculed by small minded self styled comedians.

[chris turner]

Yeah let's censor the place,  what a great public forum that would be

Cant remember ever asking Lee for advice, but Iv certainly stole knowledge and experience from other members on here.

[chris turner]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you can't take insults or criticism then you shouldn't be on a public forum in the first place.
If you want a place where know one has the right to freedom of speech then move to China or Russia.
Or set up your own forum/dictatorship with your own rules and maybe everyone who joins will happily hold hands with you and sing kumbyya.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but when its childish gigglers that are only trying to annoy the sh*t out of people then who needs that kind of input?


Constructive criticism is needed, playground humour and just downright negativity are not. It doesn't add anything to anyone but the very small minority are entertaining and egging each other on.

[Spotfree]

If we were all in a situation like down the local and a crowd we're having a conversation, and these people popped in with these kinds of comments then people would be getting sparked out for real.

Lets be real, what you are saying is we dont need anything on here that you dont agree with.

No they wouldn't, this forum in many ways reminds me of my long gone local days, we even had a Lee Pryor (we called him John Blow) there where plenty of heated arguments but it never went any further than words, that said the socially awkward never lasted long.
