Dear Herby,
This post is beating a dead horse, and you won’t even catch me beating a live one.
It also should be discussed in a phone call or letter instead of plastered all over the net. This is in poor form.
The facts are:
1. A conference for affiliates was scheduled.
2. The single biggest group of affiliates let the organizers know in no uncertain terms that they found the presence of one person at this conference so offensive that they would not only refuse to attend but boycott.
3. The organizers failed to even pay attention and did not react in a timely manner.
4. The affiliates created an event the way they like it, barring the objectionable person.
It all sounds perfectly logical to me.
This is the last post I am making about this subject matter. It is done.
Now please refrain from posting in various places about me, using my name and attaching intentions, attributes and attitudes to me. I consider it slander.
If there is some sort of opinion you would like me to clarify, please contact me, you have the means.
My offer to cooperate next year remains standing – barring the presence of representatives of predatory advertising.
PS.
My opposition to giving Gator a platform remains, and if the Vegas conference organizers insist on having Gator as a guest, I will arrange an alternate event there, also.
