Dean, you are so full of shit that I almost don't know where to start.
GFY is the only board I have regularly posted on for the past two years, so I'm not sure what other boards you are referring to when you say I have been chasing you around "the boards". I think I may have made one post about Christy Moron elsewhere in which you were in the same thread.
I haven't stalked you at all. I've posted in some of your threads, poking fun at you, but there are no rules against that. I post a lot on GFY (8k + posts), and this may surprise you, but only a small number of my posts have been directed towards you. You seem to have too much paranoia and very thin skin.
You say that you've gotten e-mails from several people that corresponded with me...um, right - say hi to your imaginary friends for me.
I may have corresponded with perhaps ten people from GFY in the past few years, and it has almost always been about work (purchases, events, etc), and besides I never brag about my shooting skills. I also can't recall writing anything that might be called weird in e-mail correspondance with any GFYers, so you're just making that up (I save my weird writing for GFY, lol).
As for my photography skills, read my posts, I have always been humble about my shooting, since I am completely self-taught. I still consider myself an amateur. In fact, several months ago I started hiring still photographers to shoot for my sites, so that I could focus on shooting videos, directing, etc.
Most of the content on my sites is stuff I shot (I still post content that is sometimes five years old since I have so much unposted content), however, over time it will shift to the work of several other photographers.
Just last week someone wrote on GFY about me:
Quote:
one of the (very few) competent shooters who posts on GFY.

...and I responded:
Quote:
There are lots of better shooters on GFY than myself (AaronM, Red Ezra, Belinda, Wanton, Johnny Olson, etc).

You are obviously a good photographer (I've said so in posts several times), with much more training, experience and better glass/equipment than I have. I've never disputed that, so I'm not sure why you keep stating that I am jealous about your photo skills. I don't even shoot in the same style as you, nor do I try, since your style is not what my sites are about. In any case, it's your attitude, if anything, that I have a problem with, and not your photographic skills.
Finally, since you quoted me out of context, here is the entirety of what I wrote to you in "response" to your e-mail to me:
Quote:
Dean,
Your ego is way out of whack. You can't handle simple criticism or any jokes tossed your way.
As I recall, this all started when I leveled some criticism at Christy Moron and Donny Christ for not simply leaving the adult industry and turning to religion (which by itself means nothing to me), but for turning on the industry to embark on a new career bashing the industry. Instead of backing me up, and the industry that supports us both, you chose to attack me. Remember that?
I like your photography, and have never criticized it (except when you appeared in it, LOL), although to be honest, at times I find it rather sterile with a formula-like sameness that is boring.
You are a competent shooter, but are occasionally utterly lacking in human relations skills. Fortunately for you, as long as you keep sucking up to the people who pay you, then you will continue to make money. In my case, I am not beholden to anyone, as I know how to run an independent business.
I usually only have to answer to myself when taking swipes at hypocrites, those with holier-than-thou attitudes or bullies, which are generally the only type of people I engage in such banter with.
Read what you posted again...if you wrote me offline without posting your name calling and ego issues, perhaps we could have worked things out, but as it stands, all you have done is raise my ire towards you to a new level. In terms you might understand, you need a lesson in manners administered the Old Testament way...
If instead you wish to get along, you would be wise to approach me with an olive branch raised in peace instead of in malice.

Your response boarded on schizo (psycho). Anger management counseling might be in order if you can't handle a little board cage rattling.
Good day Sir Snapsalot,
(double entendre, get it? "snaps" a lot - oh, never mind!)
You may now put me back on ignore...
