9. In the past you've had "issues" with 12clicks, AaronM, and even Sleazy Dream. How has your impression of these people changed, and do you really call Sleazy Dream "Uncle Scott"?
For starters yes we do call SleazyDream ?Uncle Scott?. He is actually one of SheDevil?s clients so naturally he has called our home a lot and we chat all the time so he is family to us. I have a great deal of respect for him ? but that wasn't always the case. There was a time I was annoyed at his postings but when I finally read an article in AVN along with being on a speakers panel during a Qwebec Expo a few years back I found that he has more to offer webmasters if they were only prepared to listen.
I remember actually speaking up during the seminar and admitting my error in judgment for him. I am always happy to correct myself and be willing to admit it, that is how we all grow by learning from our mistakes. Sadly this industry has individuals that are so egotistical and full of themselves that they simply can?t admit that they made a mistake, which usually leads to more threads and verbal assaults from others who know better. That is probably why you won't find much dirt or negative threads about me. I realize that I am here only because of the grace and friendship of those who helped me throughout the years. If you feel I am doing an excellent job after 12 years in this industry then thank all those who have had a part in my growth.
Scott today I can speak on a personal level sharing my frustrations and thoughts as I listen to his wisdom and sincere advice. I am truly thankful that I have that opportunity and look forward to many years in the future learning about this enigma.
The same admission on my part was true with AaronM and 12clicks (Ron) both of whom started off the same way - but I willingly admit that I was totally wrong in prejudging their character.
AaronM more than anyone knows how stupid I was and how far my arrogance and pride took over. Thankfully I came to my senses and asked for forgiveness hoping that he was the man I hoped he was ? sure enough we started a friendship that I hope will last a long time. In LA, AaronM along with Baddog took me out for a great dinner and some awesome laughs - thank you again. That to me was as important as going to the Mansion for the first time ? but it also showed that there is no disagreement that can?t be overcome. Now I truly respect that man, humbled and honored to be able to call him friend when we meet now ? thank god I grew up or I would have missed everything.
12clicks (Ron) - I have learned even in the past year has a heart of gold and truly appreciates those he works with. As we speak I hear it in his voice that his first concern is that of those who put their trust in him.
Our friendship grew I believe after I saw him being banned on a board that I was moderating. My conscience could not justify the board taking such drastic action after what I felt was started by them attacking him first ? and whether I liked the man or not at the time, my ethics and morals had me standing up for him - I refused to go with the flow against Ron when I knew the board was wrong in what they did. It was then that we started speaking as human beings and I started to see a side of him and his care that only few do. Whether he wants to admit it or not ? his heart is as big as his stature.
