This is a response to a post on PheroTalk Forum that I do not feel appropriate, for personal reasons, posting on the actual forum
You may read the entire thread here: : Why would someone do this? Am I bad person?

My reply, is a direct reply to mark-in-dallas’ post quoted below:

Darlin, I almost called Mara. I don’t think they hate me over there at this point, but I don’t know how much good it would have done either. She knows I’m here and knows that I’ve stayed neutral in the war, but I really don’t have any weight over there either.

Mara is an awesome lady though, and you can tell her I said so!

I’ve heard that as well Mark:). She sounds pretty cool and I wanted to check out the product there: LovePotionPerfume. I was saddened when I got banned from her site for no reason. I mean, I didn’t even get a chance to post!

I thought it would be best to read up, just like I did on PheromoneTalk and every other forum I belong to, when I joined. I didn’t spoof my IP and used an email address that I clearly own so I wasn’t trying to hide anything. I certainly didn’t go there to try and rub someones nerves raw, like the thread I am responding to has broken down into.

When I got banned It didn’t surprise me one bit! People talk a great game about love and respecting one another and all the while they are secretly talking and plotting behind each others back and I certainly do NOT mean this happens only at one forum or the other. I was pissed off that someone would actually go to those lengths to watch who registers. All the posts and threads about lying and waiting to strike with masked IP’s, at LovePotionPerfume, well that did surprise me. I always have heard how loving, accommodating and well wishing everyone one is there. Please understand that in no way is this saying that it only happens over there. I mean really, just read the SteveO put the S back into Sexi… thread at PheromoneTalk and it certainly opens up eyes to the bad in some peoples hearts. Needless to say, yeah but I’m saying it anyway, that I was shocked and appalled at the ill-intent spewed at PheromoneTalk as well. I was pretty sure that I understood the rules at PheromoneTalk since I was always told to treat it like a party atmosphere. If it didn’t go at a party, it didn’t go there either. LOL, I’m not sure where some people go to party, but please don’t invite me if that’s the idea of a party.

When I mentioned the Laws Of Attraction (LOA) in a thread someone told me in private that they were told I didn’t know what I was talking about. Correct me if I’m wrong; what you think about and do most is EXACTLY what you attract into your life. If you think about, write about, plot about it, all the while doing the very same thing; you get exactly that back. Am I innocent and perfect? No, but at least I do not redefine the very meaning of what I say I believe in to suite the flavor of the day.

With that said, I could also understand why some people wanting to go off and start their own little private forum. I really hope it is a place that, in the Hosts own words:

please be comfortable posting anything as you would like to, with only RESPECT to any and all involved.

I wish them well. I do hope that I can myself join anonymously and post about those pheromone products I am currently unable to without bias. This leads me into my next point.

There seems to be a whole lot of conflicting information, or misinformation spreading. The more I read, the more I have to question the validity of MANY claims. All the marketing hype, all the underhanded deeds, all the hate-fueled words of anger and just pure evil is just bewildering to me. Michael Harris is talking about having to escape the USA, land of capitalism and apparently without room for pheromone research companies. I just don’t understand how other pheromone companies survive! He says innovation is a serious risk due to all the frivolous lawsuits, but this goes right back to my above paragraph on LOA. Clearly a company focusing all their efforts on a positive impact, of making the world a better place would have a place in this world. I don’t get it! I’m sure a man, that many would strive to elevate themselves just to get to his level, will be able to come up with a way to do business wherever he damn well pleases without fear of reprisal.

I guess in this world we live in though there are just some evil doers. I even remember hearing at least a few people I know who said my post about the tragic passing of David Carridine was about them. Umm hello, if you believed it was about you, than you must have a very poor image of yourself or maybe it is you… Let me ease their minds: I was sad to hear about the “suicide death” of a childhood hero. There are so many influences of evil coming from every side its mind boggling. To think a man who seemed like he had life in the palm of his hand, without any known provocation or history of mental problems would one day, out of the blue, up and end his life. Very sad indeed. I urge those who still believe it is about them to seek emergency psychiatric help now.

Unfortunately I’ve learned there are way to many people being deceitful and spreading viscous rumors and the worse part about it: it all seems like its based on making a buck! When people don’t care who they hurt, how many lies they spread, who gets caught in the cross fire (mob mentality) it just goes to show you the level people will sink to. Look what Michael Harris said what someone did to Jasmin’s kids. That is just pathetic! I am a firm believer in the Golden Rule: Due onto others as you would have them due onto you.

Although I could never understand how it is to appreciate a mothers love for her children (I have personally witnessed Jasmin’s love for her children and there is not a question in my mind that she is an amazing mother) I also have experienced personal attacks and against my family, but I do NOT accept the victim mentality. I refuse to allow a horrible situation to dictate my life. My situation is VERY different from Jasmin’s though as hers revolve around her kids. My love and well wishes goes out to Jasmin, but more importantly her children. I was blessed to spend many hours with that baby girl and boy and they are just loved, loved, loved and as such are loving, loving, loving. With an ongoing investigation I will not say more, but I will close this paragraph out with a silent prayer to the good Lord that her issues are resolved and whomever the guilty is that they are punished accordingly.

Well its 3:34 A.M. and I’m just blabbering about all this, but jeez, we have all this fighting and paranoia going on against so many companies. It’s hard to fathom an entire industry made out of just downright bad people with just a very select couple that are trying to do the right thing, and even those are now getting low down and dirty. Customers are actually drawing lines in the sand claiming loyalty to one company over another, but the really scary thing is, since when is a company more important than the human element? Are we all getting dragged into a big shit storm of hatred being perpetrated by an evil manipulative hack, whose identity is hidden that is looking to destroy lives–all over greed? Scary to fathom an idea as such!

I’ve been repeatedly told how this guy and that guy are just horrible and because of my loyalty to APR perhaps I’ve been completely blinded as well. Now that’s not to say it isn’t the truth, but isn’t it my responsibility to find out that truth? I’ve always believed there are three sides to every story: Your side, His side, and somewhere in between the TRUTH. Please now, I can just hear those same evil doers in the world using this to stir up trouble. Oh junkyfungus is saying APR are liars. That is not what I am saying at all. I am using APR as an example, because I work there, but because I work there I must also identify it as my fierce loyalty to the point of a fault that I put a company and those who work along with me and the very clients as truth without even investigating for myself where the truth lies. It is a responsibility, especially when loyalty is involved, that I do seek out the truth for myself. I’m certain that I would find truth and though I firmly believe it will sway towards those I trust, it is the correct thing to do. I’m talking about following that very Law of Attraction myself and giving all their due benefit.

I don’t really know someone is selling something they shouldn’t be, or that this molecule isn’t what they say it is. I am sure there are countless cries across the divide saying exactly the same thing about the other side. This all brings me right back to mark-in-dallas’ post about Mara being a good person. I am sure Mara is a great person and her products look magical, I only wish I was afforded an opportunity to read the forum as anyone else would have been. Use your time wisely my friends, be happy and in the words of Chuck-D: don’t believe the hype.

  • Hello Steve,
    Mara here. I was emailed this link around 2 hours ago. Since this post seems to be in part directed at me, I figure it's ok with you if I respond?

    Steve, you were never banned from our site. I had no idea that you ever even joined our message boards, nor do I know what your IP is. You appear to be taking personal offense for a perceived insult that truly does not exist.

    A couple of months ago, we pruned our membership. The members pruned were those who had never purchased anything from us AND had not logged in for over a year. Both had to apply, because we are fully aware that people may peruse for a while before they buy; read reviews etc., which is all totally fine. But if they hadn't logged in for over a year, and never made a purchase - their memberships were simply deleted - we figured those people had just lost interest. NONE OF THEM WERE BANNED. Any of them could have simply rejoined or contacted us to reinstate their membership.

    We have ever only banned ONE member, and if you would like more information on that matter, I will happily share it with you. You are welcome to call me at our business number posted on our website. I will clear up any questions you may have - and I'm sure you have many.

    Quite simply, we are not participating in any "war". That's a buncha hooey.

    And say hello to Mark in Dallas for me. I think he's a pretty nifty dude, too.

    Kindest Regards,
    Mara
