None of them saw it my way. I'd be willing to bet that many of them now understand and regret strong arming hard working affiliates out of their domains.

Of all the domains handed over, they fucked up, now NONE of them rank any longer. Had they chosen to allow me to continue my promotions, I would still be outranking the tubes.
