For those of you who have been burning up my ICQ wanting to know if this was resolved, this is for you...
After a long and drawn out drama-polooza, I was able to have a face to face meeting with Marty from IslandDollars.com to resolve the issue that has been plaguing us both. Like a couple of fags (sorry BoyAlley) we met at a local Dairy Queen and hashed out this problem over 1 giant sized and 1 small sized Praline flavored ice cream. It was a good tension reliever, but I will note that Marty did not finish his. Mine (the giant size) was gone in 4 minutes flat. Later it gave me the shits so bad I cried. I'm thinking Marty spiked it with laxative, but have no proof.
We were able to come to agreeable terms regarding our problem, and Marty was more than generous with his offer, which I accepted. Marty and I discussed in great detail how this became a problem in the first place and how to avoid it in the future. We were both able to put this behind us and move forward in a positive direction.
I know there were many of you who contacted my privately and told me they would remove Island Dollars links, and even a few of you who were blocking Island Dollars galleries from your TGPs. I greatly thank you for your support, it is appreciated, however I would kindly ask you to now accept those galleries and add the links back to your site. The offer Marty made me was generous beyond anything I could have asked for, and for this and his willingness to work together honestly on this project, I will once again support Island Dollars.
I want to publicly thank Marty for meeting with me to resolve this issue.
He righted his wrong, face to face. Call me old fashioned but when a man is able to admit a wrong doing, that speaks volumes about his character.
Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to put back up my Island Dollars links.
