The vast majority of my haters are keyboard punchers and keyboard warriors. I meet them at shows and they're sweetness and light. Frightened of an old man?

Look at the haters signatures of the haters to see what most of them amount to. Whoops, most of them don't have a sig or just an affiliate trying to get other affiliates to sign up via them.

As for wishing they had my life, they couldn't handle it.

I also point out blatant bullshit. And people don't like that here.

The reason that most in here continue claiming that Paul is a trol is because they have no idea what he's talking about because they know nothing about content producing, old school porn distribution and business basics. This board would become a lot better if everybody who hasn't made at least a few tons in the porn biz so far would get expelled to a subforum for amateurs, and then in here we can continue discussions between the real professionals only. Or maybe set up different forums for affiliates and producers.
Content production. It's a skill and one that if you're good can be very rewarding. Offline prices for content were awesome and if you did like I did "Cross the road to get to the other side." To sell your content in more markets doubly rewarding.

Old school porn distribution. The Internet is just a place to deliver porn, nothing more and nothing less. The same rules apply if it's on a tape or on a screen.

Business basics. Most here run one man bands from their living room. That's as far as their thinking goes. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't give the person a lot of "business basics".

Squealer is classic. His thread about coming here, meeting us, seeing us shoot, etc. Was a joke. He saw the staff we employed, saw the offices, saw the studio and assumed we were broke because we didn't have a big flash car or mansion. And we wold hand 1/3 of the studio over to shoot cheap sets for him. And most here believed him.

A man whose struggling, is kissing ass to get business. Hasn't got the expense of a studio, office and 8 staff.

A man whose doing well as lots of work to do, so he can maintain the turnover and isn't going to interrupt that by letting some cheap skate come in and take over 1/3 of his operation.

Mind you the whole scenario of flying girls from Russia to Czech to shoot cheap sets of them is bullshit. Well it is if you have a clue. Which few here have, so took him at his word.
