Arbot.....
self absorbed, hollow human husks that value only money, appearances, & other's opinions of what they think they are instead of knowing themselves strongly enough to not care about such nonsense.
Astroturtle posted this description and JJ pointed out that this is a perfect definition of an Arbot. Anyone have anything they would like to add?
What a wonderful description, couldn't have said it better myself. I would like to take a moment & tell everyone about my experience with the one & only executive vice-pres. of Arbonne Stian Morck. I emailed a complaint (6 times) around Feb.3 about my upline "stacking" their sales force of course I heard nothing from them until I filed my complaint w/BBB on 3-31-06. That very evening Mr. Morck called my house to inquire more about my issue. First he tried to act like he did not know who Nina McCallie or Sibley Gammon was which infuriated me. I told him to not call my house & insult me so then he said OK I do what's the problem. After I explained everything to him his reply was "did they know you were going to do this" and I said "yes". He then stated that he could not believe they did not give him a heads up about me. I do not know if this is the appropriate area to put this but I thought all of you might find it interesting what kind of people all of us are dealing with here. Also right before I filed my complaint w/BBB Tom Gammon, Sibley's husband, started calling my friend and me. He left a really creepy message on my voice mail (whispering & stuff). He is not even a part of Arbonne by the way.

MLM SUX. They are all cretins, these guys that run these pyramid scams.
I am not at all surprised.

CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!
I think some guy finally figured out the AIRD/Swiss Lab Hoax! He found pictures of the "arbonne lab" building with another company's sign posted. And he has proof that the Arbonne products are NOT EXCLUSIVE to Arbonne!!

Product development at Arbonne tells the chemists what kind of formulation they are looking for and the chemists formulate it. He's got it backwards. The other line of products is not at all similiar to Arbonne, whatsoever. AIRD is the team of chemists contracted to do work for Arbonne. Gymnasium in U.S. is a gym and in Germany it's a public school. An indirect translation of Institute is "think-tank", meaning NOT a building, but brains. I don't see that this person has found anything at all substantial, this is industry wide, chemists are contracted (in simple terms), big deal.

Okay, Cassandra. Plese go post your response to him, and see what he says.

pink cadillac---what do you think we could/should do with this new info. If all of you live in the Atlanta area we are ready to have an anti-arbonne party. Maybe we can all get together at my house I live in Roswell.
Posted by: norton_girl | May 09, 2006 at 08:55 PM
sorry, I never register for those types of forums... it's a waste of energy that I could use elsewhere. Negativity feeds more negativity, I'm not getting sucked in to it and end up wasting away entire days on end reading forums and blogs. Ugh!
Posted by: Cassandra | May 09, 2006 at 08:56 PM
How do you classify this guy's research as "negativity"????
Now more than ever, I am convinced that Cassandra and I do not inhabit the same planet.
*sigh*
Posted by: pinkcadillac | May 09, 2006 at 09:21 PM
Unfortunately I do not live in the Atlanta area. (yet) I am desperately wanting to move south, though, so if any of you have any contacts in the government/military/or flight test engineering business, my hubby is looking for a job down there. :)
Anyway, I think we need to discuss this info more with the guy over on Quatloos first --and see if he's in the GA area too! Norton, you should go over and register on Quatloos so you can talk to him- I'm not the expert on Arbonne - Mary Kay is my area of hatred/expertise.LOL
I'll help you guys any way that I can. My incestigative skills are getting better and better since I started my website...

Freudian slip?

you are right PC, we don't live on the same planet.
I do not believe assumptions made by someone who has little to no understanding of anything.
I do not resort to schoolyard antics and immature behavior when debating a subject.
I have better things to do with my life than to spend days on end on forums and blogs.
I am contributing to my family's income.

"I do not believe assumptions made by someone who has little to no understanding about anything"
Cassandra, you're a complete wack-job. I mean that in the nicest possible way.
If you think that I don't "get" MLM, or that this guy has "no understanding" of MLM or Arbonne either - you are flat-out nuts and should have your head checked.

Hey Cat, I posted on this topic on my blog this morning, with the links to this guy's stuff as well as the response email he got from Arval.
:)
Posted by: pinkcadillac | May 10, 2006 at 05:37 AM
Holy Cow! I knew it! PC, I was hyperventilating too! These Arbots better wake up because they are going to lose big time if they don't take this seriously.
Posted by: Cat | May 10, 2006 at 06:38 AM
Norton Girl, I'm not far from you. We need to get together and compare notes. I've got a lot, but I can't fit all the pieces together so I haven't posted the stuff on my site. Maybe we could put it all together for a wham-bam-thank you-mam screw to Arbonne.
Posted by: Cat | May 10, 2006 at 07:39 AM
Are there any groups in the mid-atlantic states that have had problems with Arbonne?
Posted by: cindyloo | May 10, 2006 at 07:42 AM
Hey Cat---that sounds great!!! I have 4 other friends who live near by also and are dying to put the screws to Arbonne. Email me & let's get this started "[email protected]".

Hey Cat---my husband said don't forget your $5 cover charge when you come over LOL!!!!

Cindyloo, where are you? Hey that rhymes. :) I'm in PA, near Philadelphia.

LOL!!! The Center!! My husband says he's going to start a support group just for all the husbands....we could always try to rent a space next to The Center.
Posted by: Cat | May 10, 2006 at 08:09 AM
Rent the meeting space next to the Arbonne monthly meeting and recruit their recruits! Except, in the Anti-Arbonne meeting, we'd have jammin music and a party feel. Then get a smoke machine for the door (can you get orange smoke? Maybe a light gel next to the smoke machine) and as they walk through the door into the room, it's like they are coming "out of the orange fog."
Posted by: Leah | May 10, 2006 at 08:14 AM
Surely we could get dry ice and then put an orange light underneath it so that when it blows out it will look like orange fog!
