Fanista Launch Further Damages Trust

My history prof companion visited late yesterday and took the time to point me to several blogs I heretofore had overlooked. One belongs to Chuck Goetschel and his November 27th post sends off alarms which you should be hearing. "Of all the dirty tricks!" my friend shouted, "Here is proof that your friends, the DeVos family, can't be trusted as far as you could throw one of their yachts!"

Naturally, I asked for an explanation which he was glad to provide.

"It appears that the DeVos's have been plotting for two years to launch a competing MLM, 'Fanista', which the press has now revealed. Clearly, this launch fits beautifully with their strategy is to rid themselves of IBOs. Chuck Goetschel asks some damning questions in this post don't you think Sam? What a bunch of two-faced, cowardly, dishonest, trecherous, double crossing, diingenuous, sneaky scumbags! How can you defend such unscrupulous villians Sam?"

I ponted out that I don't automatically believe what I read in the press, especially the New York Times and that the DeVos's may not have any knowledge of what Jim Payne and Mike Mohr have been up to.

"Point taken about the Times." he said, "But Sam, this is probably just the first of many articles to follow about Fanista and the family's involvement. Payne and Mohr wouldn't "invest" the kind of money it takes to pull this off without the family knowing about it!"

I couldn't deny that.

"Look at their history Sam! Take everything we've seen over the past 20 to 30 years and weigh the evidence. Then ask yourself, are the DeVos's people of character and integrity? Can their word be trusted? Are they humble? Is it clear that they know where their blessings come from? Have they demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that they truly care for the little guy, the average American out there trying to do right by his family? When decisions must be made, can we trust them to always do the right thing, even if it costs them personally? Where is the evidence Sam? Where is it?!"

I couldn't answer him Dick.

"Sam", he said gently, because he could see my distress, "doesn't most of the evidence give you reason to doubt? Sam, this is an important question, not only for you, but for everyone dealing with the DeVos family and you MUST include this picture in your post! (I reluctantly did as you can see) If Rich or Dick or Doug DeVos looked into your eyes and shook your hand and gave you their word, about anything; and you knew that what they told you might hurt their family financially in some way; given the preponderance of evidence to the contrary, could you trust them?"

"Of course!" I replied. He just looked at me for a few seconds, shook his head in disbelief, and without a word, turned and walked out the door into the cold dark night.

Please do something Dick. As you can see, my friends see you much differently than I.
