Sometimes it's difficult to find our place/relevance within such an ever accelerating business as this. So maybe, we should just rest on our laurels. You had you time, hopefully you put something aside for a rainy day. But accept that your day is done. Let it go. You are beginning to remind me of the minor pop star continually touring on the basis of one minor hit. You have become a caricature, when it would of been better to be an enigma.
On a more serious note, your shrill know-it-all voice, appearing on so many boards, spouting absolutely irrelevant nonsense (and with an air of total superiority), leads to a gross mis-representation of the business of content producing, and of content producers themselves, non of whom wishes to be tarred with the same brush as you. Pride can be a terrible hindrance, as we can see in your ways of dealing with possible client. Get down off your high-horse...it is dead and fossilized.
I am sorry to be writing this. You and your's both had the cold hand of Dr D touch your shoulders. So look forwards to making something brighter before he comes again for the final call. Stop this trying to bring a past best left dead back to life. It's not healthy.
PS: I know that you are proud of your work, and this is no bad thing. But it really doesn't follow that others will feel the same way. To that end, when trying to illustrate a point, and your boney finger moves the mouse so that it hovers over that Barely Legal cover JPEG that you never fail to post, please....pretty fucking please...with a cherry on top....DON'T click!
