I didn't remember anything about you when you and your out-of-place posse came outside to the restaraunt patio at the hotel in LA. I'm pretty good at ignoring ego when I come across it, we see it all the time with people new to socializing in the internet side of things, usually it's just learning curve.. and nervousness because they feel like they have to pretend like they are something they are not when in fact that's entirely not the case.

Yours was actually a memorable display, I was practically having an out of body experience when Cleo introduced you like the second coming of Christ. In fact, I thought to myself "good for them for walking up to everyone here and introducing themselves." In spirit, thats what the shows are all about. However, I can see by your posts here that you really are that full of yourself.

I was kind enough to introduce you, Cleopatra and whoever else was with you to the three other companies that were sitting with me... and even explain how you could potentially do business with every one of them since neither yourself or those you were with really understood what was going on.

I'll be certain to re-contact those same companies and recommend that they not do any business with you based on principle. You're the one that circulated the letter to Joe's neighbors calling him a pedofile? Based on that alone, with everything else aside, that's all I needed to hear. Joe is a friend and client for four years. His word is credible, yours is not.

As you will continue to learn there are many circles of influence in this business and one of them is now completely out of reach.

Your best bet is to do some soul searching, find some humility and make amends with those you have wronged. You need to approach the industry with the knowledge that virtually everyone you speak with has something to teach you, even if small... and after all of that you might have an opportunity for long term success.

Finally, spend some more time on your post writing skills and proof read every one of them. If you ever do say something worthwhile, the message is going to be missed because your presentation is terrible.

The most important post of this entire thread, and a lesson for anyone new to the net to learn from. Kids are growing up even now who may save themselves a lot of trouble by reading this before posting here a dozen or more years from now.

Hell, even Dave from SmutPeddler, who knows Donny fairly well, uttered very powerful thoughts on this. Dave didn't condemn Donny by far, just his actions and handling something like this on a public forum.

Donny fought the net. . . and the net will probably strangle him.
