First, let me state that I am not a person that agrees with bannings either...the only time I like to see people banned is when someone registers a fake nick and abuses people for no reason, that is cowardly and deserves to be gone

When I said earlier I was leaving Oprano, I meant it the same way I mean it most of the time, and that is just that I would be leaving for a while to let things settle and come back when the dust cleared. I knew they route those guys were in the process of taking and I didn't want to be any part of it, I left GFY for a good reason and while I didn't appreciate some of the comments that were made in my direction earlier today, i also know it wouldn't have offended me so badly if it wasn't partially true at least some time in my past.

The past few months have been difficult for me, working 12-14 hours days to build up a reputation in this biz as a solid, knowledegable webmaster that is serious about business and ready to make some money...I feel like I have achieved that, and finally some important people and companies in this biz know my name and respect my position, so when some people that have been in this biz slightly longer than I have bash me and poke fun, it hits a little harder than I would like it, and while I don't feel that people like that should be censored, I also don't think that if they were secure enough in themselves and their life they would do that.

1 year ago, anyone that saw me on GFY would know that was a negative asshole who thought he knew it all, that person is gone...I purposely put myself in a position on March 6th 2006 to start from scratch and learn everything there is in the paysite realm once again....and with starting from scratch comes stupid questions and looking like a newbie, because the times I have done the paysite thing before I was arrogant and thought I could do it all myself, and I learned the hard way. I can promote the hell out of YOUR program and make you good money, but I am just getting the hang of promoting my OWN paysite and making myself money....and since I sold everything else that was making me money off, I am now working for myself, promoting myself (and my wife)....

The only thing I ask of the assholes of the board, is respect me and what I am trying to do, and poke at it and push buttons on it, if you can't respect me, just don't talk to me, I don't need it and don't have time for it, which is why I just left this morning instead of fighting about it....I don't mind the assholes, just show some respect for someone that is working hard to be were you were years ago...and ANYONE that knows me personally knows how damn hard I am working at all this, and if you dedicated your life to making something work.

wouldn't it bother you if some people that made millions at the same thing you are doing pushed and poked at you while you tried to make it happen, and then when they have you on the floor because you are pissed they kick you and tar and feather you? that is how I felt....call me thinned skinned, call me whatever, that is just how I am.

I am asking Bishop for the unbanning of Anthony and Nick, because I think they have the professionalism and respect to understand my position and treat me and others accordingly, because they too were once in the same position. If I am wrong I am sorry, but I don't think I am.
