Hi Eve,

You do a great job of running the forum I cannot stress this enough. I am about to say something controversial. I do not mean to insult anyone, this is just my opinion.

I think that Deborah is getting too much free publicity. She is doing more marketing than sharing information. Her information is just geared to sell product. She has also done a good job of bashing other PM sellers and PM products.

I just do not think this is balanced. No other sellers have such free reign. She does not offer any special discounts for her free publicity either.

Just my opinion. Sorry if this is offensive.

To be fair, she did ask me if was OK for her to post on this site. But I will check anyway to see whether her self-promotion is going too far as you say. Does anyone else want to express an opinion on this?

Hi Eve and Chloe :)

I find Deborah's posts informative and non-invasive thus far. It does seem that she has done extensive research into PM and offers good options as a result. She uses the products herself, she has written.

The information she provided confirmed a few of my suspicians about some of the PM products that she doesn't sell - products I did a bit of research on myself. I feel that she has been careful in how much she has advised people about PM in general.

I think Deb's posts have been very informative. It's up to the reader to be selective, isn't it?

I have to say that I agree with Chloe105. Basic product information and assistance is great and welcome, but there is alot of promotion, and yesterday I read where someone was actually laughed at for stating a problem they were having with similar product, rather than an intelligent response from someone who has knowledge as a re-seller. No offense, just my opinion also -- Sissy

sorry about that girls !!! I remain impartial but with the suggestion that Deborah doesnt need to talk about her stores as we all know that they exist already !!!! eg Fawn marie has a store everyone knows and values her input but to my knowledge unless someone asks she doesnt refer to her store much !!!!! Deborah asked me about this forum and she was really lovely to me and was impressed with my results on pm and asked me for the forums info so I suggested she write to eve and ask if its ok ? and that information would be appreciated but definately not spamming !!!! I belive Deborah has very good intentions but maybe there should be guidelines about what can and cannot be put on the forum !!!love jellyDeeee....

Well, I am the one who posted something that got kinda a harsh response.
I was kind of annoyed, but just figured it was a miscommunication...
I am using soap that I bought from Deborah...she has really fast service.
Perhaps she could post updates on products or "info" about products on her site on a thread on the general information forum...and then we could check it and not feel spammed? I know I would like to know the information about products...but perhaps not in the "talk" forums...

And then on the other forums she could either answer questions, or she/we could direct them to info on the general forum...????

wondering what your thoughts were on this.

I am monitoring the situation. If I propose to make any change, I will announce it beforehand, so that anyone who wants to can comment.
