I don’t believe that statement is 100% accurate. I have a great relationship with Marc, both professionally and personally, and it’s my understanding that Marc stands behind his beliefs, but not how he conveyed those beliefs.
It is not my place to speak for Marc. Nor is it my place to speak for anyone who was hurt or insulted by his post. All I ask is this:
This industry survives due to the efforts and hard work of many dynamic individuals… such as Lou and Marc and many others. The Casino Affiliate Convention has been a catalyst for growth in this business since 2002, and I would hate to see the implosion of such a powerful and important tool for us all.
It is absolutely true that there were statements made which need to be addressed and feelings which need to be mended. However, everyone makes mistakes from time to time… especially me.
The CAC is Marc’s lively-hood, and there was a lot of stress upon him at the time he posted. Please understand that I am not condoning his choice of words, but I am suggestion we keep in mind the position he was in when he made the post… and remember all the good he’s done for this industry as well.
