| Lol, I found this site thru a random google search and found it pretty funny. Here are two articles: How to lose money with your website Personal development for starving africans LOL |

| Lol this is funny stuff!! From Steve Pavlina is the Devil: "The implicit message contained in Pavlina's writing is that people who work for someone else are either inherently inferior or are brilliant, creative dynamos who've yet to take the leap of self-faith required to fulfill their potential - a cynical ploy by a charlatan who knows full well that most people are just dumb enough to consider themselves intelligent and will hence associate themselves with the latter - a delusion that is cleverly reinforced by the non-coincidence that the page they are looking at happens to be titled "Personal Development for Smart People", and they are, after all, reading it. "

| He doesn't even manage to be all that witty most of the time. Still, gotta give him an A for effort. Most people wouldn't take a parody/attack site beyond a couple articles. I doubt he's a darkworker. Most likely he's just a guy with a chip on his shoulder and way too much time on his hands.

| This is a really funny website. But it doesn't have enough articles yet. Steve Pavlina is the devil. That's got to be the funniest thing I've read this week. |
| |||
| Since I didn't start the thread, I can't start a poll here, but I don't think it's particularly funny, so my vote is a "thumbs down." It would have to be at a much higher level to be funny. I don't care much for mean-spirited humor, and this clearly is. That kills it for me right there.

I guess you gotta agree with the author a bit to find it funny. I do (not that i agree with the "steve is the devil" thing! but the pic of him smiling broadly and the legend in the pic "Pavlina - The Devil", damn that made me laugh)

| This loser type of character is just hilarious and full of wit and genius. ...'If there was such thing as luck I'd be Steve Pavlina or Tony Robbins, shooting sunbeams out of my ass, making millions selling lies about choice, courage, hard work and success, but there isn't, and even if there was, I'd have none.'

I'd like to generalize. There are many famous, "great" people, whom I personally call "sick minds". Good example are Niezsche and Kierkegaard. Last one is a Danish philosopher, "existentialist", and, as Wiki says, "a highly significant and influential figure". For me, Steve's existentialism is the one which I consider "true". And Kierkegaard just spits poison massively, infecting others (I know some real examples near myself). In the same manner we can call any person with a machine gun "influential", and with an atomic bomb - "highly significant". And so does the author of that site. His sick humor can't make many people laugh, but can infect many people with bad expectations about personal development. If Steve's site saved at least one person from suicide, that "anti-site" could make right the opposite. I consider that site dangerous and highly abusive. I would not tolerate it, if I were Steve. Besides, it has Steve's photo published without any permission. If you want a healthy portion of irony and sarkasm, you better watch some stories about Homer Jay and his family |

| Kazeko -- I completely empathize with your point of view. But ... Let's say Steve was able to convince the hosting service to wipe that site. The guy would probably just find a host that was less concerned about civility, put it back up, and have some self-righteous ammunition to boot. (And he is probably reading this thread with deep interest. So we're stoking his pompous ego by mentioning him at all.) That's my take. Now, really -- how would you suggest Steve handle this?

| what a very sad man. kind of makes you want to put on your "awwww" voice, and go "awwww... does somebody feel angwy cuz he's an unsuccessful man who wants to blame it on successful people?"

| Kazeko -- I realized the tone of my comment made it seem like I was asking a rhetorical question. I'm not. I'm really curious. What do you think should Steve do? How should he handle this?

| Steve can, for example, find a good lawyer and sue that guy for being abusive and offensive in public. (I don't know U.S. and Nevada laws, but I guess there is a way to do it). Quote:
And, yes, I think it's enough to discuss it already... |

You should also be aware that it's not the only anti Steve side. And it's funny compared to other anti Steve efforts like registing account with Steve mail address on other forums and sending PM spam from them. You don't need to verify the address to send PM's in a lot of forums but only to make real posts, but a lot of forum owner didn't know that their forum was configured that way, which made a few people a bit angry about Steve.

You should probably look inside yourself when you get defensive by reading the site.
