Failure gets a bad rap...
Nobody in this thread hasn't failed at something, including myself. Nobody in this industry hasn't failed at some point, even the ones who scored big and we tend to admire. It doesn't stop there either. Any major success you can think of in history (who is honest) has ever spoken or written of their journey have stories of failures along the way, both before and after their successes.
You clearly had a ton of success with the offline part of things and I can't imagine anyone around here trying to deny you of this accomplishment. I don't think anyone here could even criticize how you handled it ending as it was a tough adjustment to even try to move things online, i'm sure. I may not know all the details of your online adventures but I do know what you have been saying over the years with regards to both content and the online industry and most of it has been incorrect, assumption based, and overall bad info.
That being said, you didn't have success with online sales? who cares? most of us here never came close to what you did offline and never will so who says you have to be great at everything to have a qualified opinion? I may disagree with most of them in regards to content and online business but you still have a lot of experience that we can all learn a bit from. Personally, i wish you would just stick to your strengths as both online biz and politics are not your strengths ;)
but at the end of the day you don't owe anyone here an explanation for anything.
