I'm going to be honest, I cringe when I hear or read someone say this, as it feels very much like a conspiracy theorist mentality. "THEY" don't want us to know about "it." "THEY" are in control of "everything." And so on. Paranoia.
Now, admittedly there will be times for some people when there is at least one person actively trying to ruin their life; I know you've written on here about at least one person, Shannon, and I myself, as well as one or two other people here, have written on here about someone like that, but wordage like the above feels very hyperbolic. Business competition is one thing, but you write as if there is a group of people actively conspiring to tank you and/or your business endeavors.
Heheh.
As one wise-but-crazy man once said, "Paranoia means having all the facts".
The fact that there is, probably, no group "actively conspiring" to tank someone does not mean there are not numerous people who dislike the idea of someone succeeding at something, and I'd wager a guess there's a bunch of people who will not like seeing Shannon succeed with what he's been doing - and even their intent, or ill-will, when focused and great enough, can lead to adversity.
Heck, I'd wager a guess that certain forum members actively using DMSI are actually subconsciously resenting the idea of DMSI ever achieving its goals (mostly because it's going to prove that they *may have been wrong all this time*), thus making the entire process of working on the darn thing such an ordeal for the man.
