I apologize for this post being a bit late — I was away yesterday and came back to negative comments regarding what I said about Domainers.org and cybersquatting.
Just to clarify my position:
1 - I was not paid for this post or any post ever made on this blog. Furthermore, I have no interest in ever accepting money for posts made on this blog — If I don’t support something, it won’t be posted on or at least not in a positive light. No amount of money will change that stance. If I decide I want to make money off this blog at some point, there are many ways to do so without selling out my credibility (eg. banner ads). I have ran this blog since November 2008 and my previous blog on 4 letter .coms at 4letternoob.wordpress.com and BQB.com before then, beginning in November 2007. I have not made 1 cent up to date off of anything other than domain purchases/sales and domain broker offers that came my way courtesy of this blog. Even the ads I put on this blog in the past were merely to support people in this industry I respect. I tried one affiliate ad for Parked.com for a week — didn’t get me any referrals and I haven’t bothered looking for a way to monetize this blog since.
2 - Nothing I wrote in that post was my opinion or Francois’ opinion — I was quoting what someone said to him. If you still want to unsubscribe, go right ahead - less bandwidth for me to pay for. Like I said, I make nothing off of this blog so I couldn’t care less if being honest about what I think costs me some traffic.
3 - I agree with Jeff + Chef Patrick that posting a picture is best. I’m usually fairly sleep deprived, so posting a pic of me with purple bags under my eyes might make me look more like a junkie than a domainer.
4 - Kevin Ohashi, I don’t know what the hell your problem is. You come off as a real prick here and elsewhere I’ve read your posts.
I appreciate everyone taking time out of their day to comment on this post and others. Hopefully this cleared things up.
