You say you are never wrong and I can relate to that because I used to be the same way. As I've gotten older I have come to realize how foolish that mindset is.
Do you think your mindset will ever change?
You also give the impression that small webmasters that bother you too much are a PITA and really not worth dealing with if they continue to take up too many of your resources. I can agree with that and face the same issues from time to time. It's not an easy issue to deal with sometimes.
Do you think Franck is a cheater?
I don't think so at all. I've known Franck (Battus) for a long time. (over 6 years) I've never known him to be a cheater. In fact my impression of him has always been the opposite, a hard working, go-getter type of webmaster that is not looking for the "easy way out".
I'm not familiar with what happened nor have I ever spoken to Franck about this but after reading what you posted in
Post 95 of your interview:
Its a simple matter to disprove this lie by looking up the programs in the wayback machine and seeing that in the long life of these programs the terms changed maybe, one, twice tops.
We never gave less than a month's notice and the notice was always via email AND on the stats page.
So you admit too changing your TOS.
So in my mind I picture the scenario of Franck building a page according to your TOS and somewhere down the line you change your rules and make new ones and Franck never went back to edit the page or pages he made to promote your program.
If at the time the page he built was compliant then you changed your rules, how does that make him a cheater? I don't see the logic.
So my last question is this: DO you really think Franck set out to cheat your program, or do you think that all this really just got blown out of proportion because of your mindset of always being right and never being wrong?
Let me also say that I really enjoyed your Ambush and that you have my up most respect as being one of the big Old Skewl players in this industry.
But even Old Skewl Players can be wrong from time to time.
I have the same respect for Franck as he has helped me out in the past in dealing with cheaters. In fact one of the cheaters he helped me out with is on your most respected who do you look up to list.
Funny Huh?
Cheers,
