I myself have been subjected to this like many others for whatever reason from people I don't know, never done business with, or even met. The vast majority of time it's from people trying to get some form of recognition from whomever to gain a business or personal edge due to their lack of ability.

As mentioned, I also favor JFK because he was the originator and rarely do you see him take a negative side to anything. What did catch my interest was how NALEM is being ripped apart form a poor business decision to support ICM and the vicious personal attacks that followed from the usual suspects.

People in here never learn because I've seen this happen to many and especially to guy named Donny Long that is still going on to this day. There were aff reps and company owners jumping on that guy because he was odd, new, and rubbed the Bro's the wrong way due to offering a competitive business against their friends interests. Read familiar?

So when you preach- negative attitude and/or resentfulness fueled by failure. is because of your type of click mentality causes it. Sadly, what most fail to understand is their are the few like DL who comeback and do terrible things like hack the records of all the adult talent and release their medical records online.

I'm willing to bet Alex/Nalem has made a large investment in his business and also willing to bet he's done and probably does not even know it. If he was smart he would of shut his mouth and walked away and build a better strategy to come back and fight another day. The only issue I had with Alex, I straight out asked him if he supported ICM or was he just making money. - I couldn't careless who's business model he copies because it's been done by more then a few in here, but he refused to take a stand from an obvious decision. So I have zero sympathy for the guy.

WTS, there are some of us who were also subjected to the same shit who did take a stand, shut their mouth, built a better strategy, got wealthy from it, and now looking for a little payback. I couldn't give a shit about .XXX/ICM or any of these issues because it has zero effect on my life or business. BUT what is does show me is a vulnerability with the usual suspects for a good reason.

I personalty recognize this as opportunity to settle some old scores and most need to thank god ICM can not afford a guy like me because if they could, you'd all be lining up at their door buying .xxx domains or deal with the other option of a 2 year Google domain sandbox. You'd only need to do a few and the rest would move like sheep.

The point is he made a bad decision, but by ignoring him he'll come to his own realization and move on our improve his business model. Now I bet he's gonna want a little payback.
Well, any community has it's cliques...

I don't know Donny Long's story, though I know I should because I remember many times his name appeared. But like I said I stay clear and don't give a fuck for drama threads...

I doubt anyone got bapped because they were just "odd, new, and rubbed the Bro's the wrong way" - this happens to many and any people many and any days of the week here.

I agree, supporting ICM/.XXX is a poor business decision.

Nevertheless, despite the micro-cliques and all that, I still stand by the fact that most of the time people who invect against the "bros" do it out of resentment.

You should give a fuck about ICM/.XXX because if they become what they want to become, you will personally feel the sting and become their victim.

I don't care about what you think your abilities are, and ICM/Lawley can definitely afford you; there's just no way you could sell me, Rochard, Connor and most self-respecting adult webmasters into buying their bullshit.xxx domains.

So far ICM has been moving on and improving their business model and it has been transparently bullshit... maybe they should hire you?

Nah.

:D
