The last time we ran the Join The Amway Cult And Become An Obnoxious Know It All post, one of our readers remembers what it’s like dealing with those Amway bastards.
I remember the Amway “know-it-all” types very well
from the 1970s. God, they were obnoxious. They always had a kind of smirking,
smug look on their faces, as if you were a naive fool and they were the ones
who were knowledgable and sophisticated, especially if they happened to be
older than you. And yes --in point of fact they were just hapless buffoons who
didn’t know anything.
Much of this attitude could be traced to the self-congratulatory nature of the
entire Amway racket, where you are constantly love-bombed about how brilliant
and wonderful you are just for joining up. But some of it is from the kind of
guy who typically joins Amway -- a small-town schmuck who is somewhat shrewd
and clever, just enough to run his little dipshit business (a candy store, a barber
shop, a gas station, etc.), and who thinks that he’s a sharp guy with a nose
for a bargain.
I saw plenty of these dopes in Amway. They always talked down to others, as if
they were superior and wiser. They walked around in baggy pants with suspenders,
with their hands in their pockets jingling their change. They always “knew
better” than you. They pretended to be skeptical about anything and everything
that you mentioned. Whatever you told them, they’d smile patronizingly and say “Yeah,
well... I know better than that.” They were typical small-town nobodies
pretending to be special.
Amway depends on the inbred arrogance of the stupid, small-town man.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!
If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
