**But I get the sense that they don't take kindly to signing services around here. Give the guy a break... will you, ya frickin lynch mob?**
Ha! You always make me smile, Pat.
When the SS owner/reader takes a look at this site they see "notary" branded clear as day on the forum. They can post their woes, but if they have a lick of sense they know that this forum is about "notaries" not about them (surprise) and that right or wrong, one wrong word will bring down the Wrath of the Notary on their head. Right or wrong, good or bad...this is a NOTARY forum, not a SS forum.
I know that is a step down for them if they've let the brokering of notary services cloud their thinking so that they cannot be objective enough to recognize this, however, this is the way of the internet forum. If they want to discuss *their* SS issues they need to create a SS forum where they can discuss notary "problems" until their heart's content.
Take for instance, the example of a low carb diet forum. It's labeled that for a reason. Like-minded low-carb people go there to discuss the low-carb diet lifestyle. Let a Low Fat/carb loving Weight Watcher infiltrate that board with WW Point "nonsense" and you can watch sparks fly for days on end. Literally...days and months. It's not about any method of losing weight. It is about losing weight on LOW CARB lifestyle. The WW interloper is seen as a troll because they are stirring up dissension and argument against the very thing that the board exists for.
Back to this forum. Visiting SS owners have a mentality that they help the notary by giving them business. Notaries have a mentality that the SS cuts into their fees by brokering their services with bigger and bigger cuts while charging the TCs less.
It's only common sense that a wide awake, sensible SS owner would understand this forum is extremely biased to see the *notary's* point of view and not be able to be empathetic to often "King Baby" middle man. Yet, they post anyhow...King Baby does...showing little common sense. I think they get what they ask for when they get the Notary Wrath after posting their SS issues here.
It's been a long time coming, but it's in the works...a means to facilitate distribution of work without the SS to get a cut for basically nothing except finding a notary. That's been one of the functions of NotaryRotary...creating a database of notaries so that SSs are not needed to find a phone number. They just don't get it that notaries are in direct competition with them. And they keep on trying to say "Red!" and notaries see that things are not red, or even pink. after all, they are definitely "Yellow" from their notary perspective.
When there was plenty of everything, things used to be politely blended to be "orange" but now it's flight or fight for the dollars that are left to be found. Smart notaries are working hard to make things more yellow and to stop the remnants of the Red Insanity.
I laugh when I see them reading and posting on this forum. I think it is hilarious. If business was so great in Red World they wouldn't have time for following this "Yellow Brick Road" of the lowly notary.
