    My take on this sonofsam thing.....

    First off....See sig.

    Moving along.....

    Several people have tried to help SOS in one way or another over the last year or so. Most of those people were treated like shit, called thieves and scammers, and generally disrespected overall by SOS.

    Yes, he is young....But that is no excuse for the SameOldShit day in and day out. We, as a society, are supposed to learn from our mistakes and try to better ourselves by analysing what we did wrong and trying to avoid doing it again in the future. Anybody who is too dumb to comprehend this does not deserve to share the same air as those of us who do.

    Fuck SOS.

    End Game.

        I would agree that everyone makes mistakes, and as long as it isnt REALLY bad, then second chances are to be given. I thought you were more that willing to work things out with him. My take on it at least.

        I wont miss him.

                  haha, yeah, i guess it hasn't been that long...I guess I am just referring to everything since the beginning of his blazing trail of failure

                  i wish kak_azn was back, then SOS and kak_azn could start a program and buy motorcycles and ferraris together

                      SOS has certainly seemed to have flamed out, but I feel he was helped along the way. No need to be so smug here Aaron, had you refunded him, perhaps he would have been able to follow a different path. You certainly could have afforded it, I would venture to guess.

                      With that said, I think many people do not realize the cost of producing their own content, nor know how to succesfully market a site/program, let alone have the business acumen to be profitable in this highly competitive business. Given what has transpired, I'm not altogether certain that SOS would have been able to make it had his circumstances been different.

                      As I understand it, you went through a bancruptcy yourself Aaron. If so, kudos to you for pulling through. You have a great gift with your talent as a photographer. However, you belittle yourself when you gloat about the failures and shortcomings of others, given your own experience and struggles.

                      I might expect you to trot out the same tired "troll" name calling etc, but maybe you will surprise me this time and rise above it and realize that I am not posting this with any malice towards you, simply some observations which might benefit if you choose to be open-minded.

                            Really?

                            That's quite interesting.

                            I must have slept through that one because I don't seem to recall ever dealing with any bankruptcy.

                            Where do you people come up with this shit?

                                  My apology in that case. I'm pretty sure Donny went through such an experience, and for some reason I thought I read in a thread somewhere that you went through the same or a similar hardship (something about a trailer, but maybe that was just an inside joke).

                                  My point was, that I think it is safe to say that nearly all of us who were not raised with a silver spoon have been through various adversities, and therefore we should not feel as if we need to celebrate in the sufferings of others.

                                          SOS screwed up, thats blatantly obvious, but Aaron wasn't necessarily the most honest or humble person in their dealings.

                                          Honestly, I think I feel pity for both SOS and Aaron

                                                      That's quite interesting.

                                                      I must have slept through that one because I don't seem to recall ever dealing with any bankruptcy.

                                                      Where do you people come up with this shit?

                                                      I told him... my bad.

                                                            I'll be as smug as I want. Who in the hell do you think you are to try to influence anything about me? What makes you think your input has any value to me?

                                                            I can't help but notice that the people who are hating on baddog and the people who are still hating on me are primarily the same people who never have anything good to say about either of us.

                                                            When those who I respect and who's opinions I value contact me and tell me these things, then I MIGHT listen to what they have to say. Until then, I'm sticking with my current attitude. If you don't like it, then piss off.

Don't blame others when something go wrong even if it's their fault. Move on and work hard.

                                                                                      SOS paid off the initial debt, but couldn't cover the vig

                                                                                      SOS had his domains sold by the debtor to cover what was owed

                                                                                      when I say domains I mean all his domains, including his affiliate program and paysites

Age is an excuse for making mistakes, it isn't an excuse for not righting those mistakes. We all fuck up, all of us. Then we learn, correct, and don't do it again.

                                                                                          Because he's a liar. Always has been but people are just now starting to see the big picture with him.
