I assure you, what issues I do have with some of your business practices, do not involve some anonymous person you do not like, whom you think I am friends with (whomever that is - BTW, you have my permission to say whomever you think it is since you brought it up, especially since you think it is someone that is gone from the business...I honestly don't know who you are talking about).
I operate my business pretty independently, and rarely work or socialize with industy people (aside from models, photography/video assistants, and a few content providers, etc, that contribute to my business). Besides, I can't think of anyone I ever knew in the biz, that is no longer in the biz - well, besides Donny, however I think it should be obvious that he and I don't see eye to eye on much of anything since he did his born-again thing).
My friends, most of whom are not in the adult industry, would be the first to tell you that I am an independent thinker, who can and will argue passionately, even with friends, about any issue I feel strongly about, without that diminishing our friendship. They will also tell you that I am capable of admitting I am wrong when presented with compelling facts that prove that the point I was defending was in error.
All things considered, given your position in the industry and mine, I would rather be on your good side. I may be opinionated, but I'm not (too) stupid (LOL).
With that said, I have never been someone to kowtow to or brown-nose to others. You have enough people blowing smoke up your ass and telling you that you are legendary in an effort to somehow try and get themselves ahead - that's not my style. I may be a pain in the ass at times, but I generally manage to win the respect of most reasonable and rational people I disagree with, on the basis of my integrity and ability to detach my ego from my opinions/decisionmaking (I'm human, so not always, but I try like hell, damn it).
So who is this Svengali mystery person you speak of???
