Some are skipping on the event based on their principles/personal beliefs, while the rest of us are a little more open-minded.

I like your comeback that “You’re Jewish”.

I think a lot of people don’t recognize what Kelly Felix/Rich Jerk has done and that’s get into the skin of the persona he’s created.

You might not believe everything you watch on TV, so why should this be any different.

Please, for those who’re staunchly opposed to this, take a chill pill!

I think the tenets of Christianity is based on duality of choice and free will.

Coming down hard is a personal choice you can choose to make. But imposing that choice on others takes it to a whole new level.

Chris is against the event, too. I was eligible for receiving tickets before promoting the event.

Since when do you need permission to send a check to a charity. From my experience, they would normally simply say “Thank You” and move on.

The fact remains that the event is in the name of charity and I’m assuming that Rich Jerk will be sending a check for all of the profits after the event is over.

We all know that you don’t get paid cash, but you are eligible to receive free tickets worth nearly $2000 each. That, my friend, is compensation any way you look at it. As for the charity…that’s a whole other story.

I’m very much looking forward to hanging out with Tim, John, Mike, Frank, and the others that will be in attendance.

I’ve personally alienated nobody.

My emails and recommendations were not worded in Jerk’s voice, but my own.

I see this as a huge opportunity for any internet marketer and can’t wait for the party.

I posted about this on my SalesLeadSecrets.com Blog.

Personally I find it the most offensive, crass and unprofessional marketing piece I have seen in my 7 years online.

No wonder my offline marketing friends see Internet Marketers as snake oil salesman and refuse to take them seriously.

Try printing the RJ trash in the real world and see where it gets you.

I unsubscribed from several lists this last week as well as cancelling various subscriptions – including one from a marketer who has made over $20,000 from me in the last few years.

As a marketing professional it strikes me as utter stupidity to alienate the female demographic
of a list.

As a man and a Father, I find it reprehensible that anyone could think such sexist language is acceptable.

I shared these same feelings with my subscribers and received SCORES of emails from people saying they too had unsubscribed from several lists as a result.

Meanwhile the guru’s like lemmings are rushing to ‘jump off the cliff’ together.

I made a similar post earlier… I’ll see you at the mansion.

You miss the point, as well.

#1 I receive no commission on any sales.

#2 It is a good cause and I’m proud to be associated with it.

#3 I’m Jewish, and my faith has nothing to do with it.

I also received a comment I denied stating that I’m a nerd and won’t get any “play”.

To clarify here, I’m a happily married man and didn’t want any in the first place.

Thanks for your comments, they are very much appreciated!

Many of the “best in Internet Marketing” claim they are Christians… and agree that Rich Jerk does not do their sort of marketing.

It just sounds to me like another way to make a buck, but naively at the cost of ones reputation. Then again, maybe it doesn’t matter.
