Comments on RJ's playboy club get together?

I believe I mentioned in my post that it was 'for charity', Phil.

I guess the thing that really set me off was NOT John Reese's invitation, which he handled very discreetly and with appropriate disclaimers, but one of the others that had numerous pictures of the 'bunny' gals and so on (and no warnings prior to access). Some were quite inappropriate to have been sent to homes where young children could see them. Since it was a requested list mailing it would not have been caught by filters. I unsubscribed from that one because he obviously lacked common sense and consideration.

Anyway....for what it's worth...charity or fundraiser makes no difference, my basic objection still stands.

Sandi,

I was just trying to lighten things up and get the comments going.

But I Agree, some marketers need to take some Lessons from John Reese, Frank Kern and others who know where to draw the line...

I'll just post John Reese's ending to his email (hope that's ok)...

As he shares some Smart comments and an interesting resource that'll add some Value to this discussion...

Phil

BY THE WAY...

My good friend, Michel Fortin, recently forwarded
me the URL to a killer presentation by Guy Kawsaki.

Guy makes a powerful point in his presentation when
he says (just paraphrasing)...

"With your marketing you want to polarize people...
you either want to make them LOVE YOU or
HATE YOU... you don't want people to have
just a neutral feeling."

This is exactly why "The Wealthy Idiot" has
been successful with that controversial approach.

I highly recommend you watch this marketing
presentation. Tons of amazing stuff in it:

Yours For Online Profits,

Thanks, Phil. I guess I sounded harsher than intended. My apologies.

Agree with the polarizing people, BUT one must do so carefully and diplomatically. I don't believe it is necessary to be unduly offensive to have intelligent differing viewpoints expressed. Rabble rousing just for the sake of rabble rousing is counter-productive.
