well... this has been an interesting read. jon i wish you could be more in depth about what lee did to piss you off. you seem like friends one minute and then the next you arent.
I just got sick of hearing about how he stole ideas from lots of my friends and pawned them off as his own. He preaches to be this great religious guy with lots of morals, and he goes behind the backs of his peers and friends and pulls this crap. I just couldn't take hearing it anymore. I'm also pissed off because the numerous times people have mentioned shit about EF, I stuck up for him, to later find out that he's been bashing me and my ever so amazingly cool forum behind my back. Sorry, but that may fly with others, but not me. I'm sick of him being made out to be this uber saint and huge money maker, when in truth, he's a fucking liar, and he could kiss my ass instead of shaking my hand when I meet him.
He emailed me and told me he won't be at ASW, which is fine. But he will be at ASE, which is just the same to me. Whether he comes out and admits he was a jackass for what he's done, apologizes for it, or comes here and fesses up to it, then maybe I'd show some compassion and let it go, but I don't see that happening really.
Also, he's starting to drift down that "guru" ebook road. Watch.. there will be an ebook launch of his sometime in the future on how to run a successful forum. All of his worshipping cronies will be going on and on about how amazing it is, and the info inside will basically be a brain dump of everything he's mentioned in his beginners guide to making a successful forum radio shows. All I can picture is his mind going "upsell, upsell, upsell".
Do I hate Lee? No. It takes a lot for me to hate someone, and I don't hate him at all, I just think that he shouldn't get away with dicking people over behind their backs anymore. If that means I have to take it to a public forum, so be it. But he's being a douchebag, and I'm not going to let him get away with it. Do I give a shit if people agree or if it makes me look immature? Fuck no. I'm not upselling shit here, so what do I care about my rep? I made this place so people can be themselves, act the way they want to or feel comfortable doing so, and on the side, share the wealth of information. Even if everyone left here, I'd probably stay here alone, or with Katovad and post to ourselves all day long.
Watch though.. now that Lee is making his retarded new radio show and charging for it, but only the first 250 people (eboooooooook sales tactics!), but you can refer your pals and make cash from that to recoup your costs (ebooooook sales tactics!), and in turn you get to listen to two idiots talk about something they will do what with? Make you rich? Make your forum great? Are you kidding me? Ask for the advice for free. There are tons of people with successful forums and none of them are charging dick for it, on top of which, they'll probably give you good tips from their perspective too.
Whatever.. too much drama in one day for me. Maybe more tomorrow.
