PS. For someone who's so concerned about anonymity, it's a bit surprising that neither your avatar or signature has any information about who you are and the company you're affiliated with. Moar food for thought.

Intelligence. I like it and I appreciate it. Now allow me to give my side of the situation. Grant it, it is my side. There is the other side and there is the side that people want to feel is the truth. But i will be willing to go out on the line and say anything that I type here to be the truth. Which is why in the drama thread that anything I posted was not disputed by Ivan, the creator f the thread.
So after all of my spewing, let me address your reply...
If you read the posts you would see that I never approached the situation with a lackluster attitude. If I did, we wouldn't even be engaging in this "conversation." I decided to get involved because I believed there was potential for the situation to get out of hand.
As for anonymity of a user, I have to disagree with you. I think it has an important bearing on the situation. I feel strongly that someone that refuses to acknowledge or identify who they are isn't worth the effort. Let me ask you this, if you were out and were discussing a business proposal with someone would you at least want to know who they are and what they bring to the table?
Sparring for me is not a hobby nor ultimately fun. Look at my post count for some kind of proof. I just figured it was a nice reference to get some kind of reaction. It apparently worked. But I will be flat out honest, as far as I'm concerned the anonymous useless posters are absolute shit in my mind.
Fresh traffic is there. I strongly believe that my stance and approach in the matter was pretty professional and intelligent. Any business that might have been lost, albeit disturbing, was not worth it. If someone felt my posts and attitude were enough to prevent them from promoting our sites then so be it. I was straightforward and honest throughout. So as far as I'm concerned, those "webmasters" were useless.
As for anonymity, I apologize. I thought I was very up front about who I was and how I can be contacted. Do you honestly think if I wanted to be anonymous I would admit to being a Ranger fan?
Just in case anyone else didn't see the reference, I am Ed K. I am the COO of Sex Search, Orgasm and other projects. I can be reached on ICQ at 2103055. My email address is simple. I respond to everyone. Just ask some of the "enemies" in this thread.
