What I was referring to is how you appear to dissemble whenever you are faced with a straightforward question.
Someone else (not me) inferred that you/Virage owned Envisionext at one time, and you indignantly responded that you did not. I did not dispute this, as I have no proof either way. What I noted (and documented) is that you had more than a friendship relationship with the CEO of Envisonext - nothing illegal about that, I just thought that it was odd that you didn't mention this corporate connection in the interest of full disclosure.
To re-phrase it, what I called into question is that your answer seemed to imply no relationship between you and Envisionext besides a long-term fraternal association with the Envisonext CEO Stan, when in fact, he was apparently a COO (Chief Operating Officer) of Virage, which you neglected to mention.
I'm not sure what names you think I called you, since I rarely do that without absolute proof (23,000+ posts with no bans here - I do try to keep my ducks in a row).
I'm just simply trying to understand who is behind your apparently new company on the scene, Manwin.
I thought it was a partnership. After all, you describe yourself as a "Managing Partner".
The Business Dictionary defines a "Managing Partner" thusly:
Quote:
|
The highest formal job title given to a senior partner in charge of a firm's overall practice, management and day-to-day operations. A managing partner is roughly equivalent to a chief executive officer of a corporation in terms of duties and responsibilities, however they manage a partnership and not a corporation.

A Partnership is defined as:
Quote:
|
Type of business organization in which two or more individuals pool money, skills, and other resources, and share profit and loss in accordance with terms of the partnership agreement.
|
So are you a Managing Partner (as defined) or not?
If you are, who are your partners?
The reason I, and possibly others, are skeptical about Manwin is that you have suddenly appeared on the scene posing as a new company and self-proclaimed savior of the adult industry, but you do not wish to discuss your past businesses and practices (i.e., Virage), and you expect people to take a leap of faith that a company as flawed as Mansef (see government forfeiture and lawsuit articles previously addressed, but which you did not respond to), has suddenly turned over a new leaf by changing three letters in their company name, and your appearance as the new Managing Partner, or Messiah, or whatever you see yourself as.
I've violated no GFY rule which I am aware of. This is a forum for expressing opinions, exchanging ideas, or as this forum is listed - "Fucking Around and Program Discussion".
I'm pretty sure that I am well within those parameters.
I am merely sharing some thoughts, and trying to get some answers, since you are asking people/companies to trust you, yet from what I can see, you have proved less than trustworthy so far.
Since you are now seemingly claiming to be (by definition) a Corporation with shareholders, instead of a Partnership (even though your title is Managing Partner), who then is on your Corporate Board of Directors?
I want to trust you, but imho you keep being evasive instead of forthright. That raises warning flags to me.
