Why Do I Even Try??!?


Just got from messenger where the person that asked me to find the artist for her project, calls me a "liar", a "crook" and a "cheater". Then when I get a bit defensive and ask where and how I lied (she said that I told her I 'owned' SuperheroineCentral ... wtf?!?), she goes off on me about attitude.

She then backed and said I "sorta lied". Okay, most people who know me know that I put alot of stock in my word, especially where my website is concerned. I am known as being a pretty honorable guy, and I did not get that way with 10 years of experience under my belt by "sorta lying". You either lie, or you don't. I don't go for "spin" like politicians and (sorry Star... no offense here) lawyers do. I tell you I will help, and I will. I am NOT responsible for what other people say or do.

Geez, I am so frickin' upset right now!! I really shouldn't be, but she called me the ONE thing that I find more insulting then anything else. Being called a liar is probably the worse thing you can say to me. Now, I am not talking about saying something by mistake, or by error, cause I do that .. all the time. But, as many of you know, I do admit when I am mistaken or wrong. But, to be intentionally deceitful, in a manner to profit myself (yes hon, your hair looks great! not included! lol), is .. just... mind-boggling!!

What kind of person insults a person that they ask to help them... and that has made actual progress (ie .. not say you will and then blow it off)... and doing that for free! For a person that I don't know!?? And then have the frickin' gall to call ME a "cheat" and a "crook"!!?

Take a breath... breath... count backwards....

*sigh*

I deal with alot of people everyday. A wide variety of people. Some are nice, and some are polite and some are jerks and some are nuts. I will admit that not everyone likes me, that I am an asshole (quite often) but I like to think that I have the respect of the people in this community that I am a part of because of all the work that I HAVE done for others, be they artists or fans.

But, to be called a LIAR ... a CHEAT... a CROOK???!!!

*ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

Lair Takes the Silver

Image
Wow. And, double wow! Last year was, what I thought, a fluke when The Wizard's Lair took the silver in the Bondage Awards 'Best Free Bondage Website'. But, this year, with the number of people that had been nominated, I thought I would be lucky if we broke the Top Ten. And, truth be known, I was increasingly skeptical of even making that threshold. Indeed, I was so skeptical of our chances, that I really did not advertise the contest as I did last year. And, reading from those running the contest that there were more people nominated, and more people voting this year, and that The Wizard's Lair was at the bottom of a very long list, I thought that our chances were slim and none. Imagine my surprise when I was sent a number of congratulatory emails about not just placing, but taking the silver again. Well, I was even skeptical then, so went to the website to look for myself. Oh my goodness. Had a couple emails from my "Henchmen" contributors who...

The Wizard's Lair is the DOWNFALL of the Superheroine in Distress Genre!

Image
Seems of late I have been reading quite a bit about the failure of some pay sites within the community are closing down. Some are putting the blame on peer-to-peer sites in general, while others are placing the blame on The Wizard ’ s Lair in particular. Now, without knowing the financial specifics of each and every website that is closing down and/or losing money, how can anyone place any blame on any one thing in particular, or even accuse a single website, it ’ s webmaster, and it ’ s contributors for contributing to the financial decline of these sites? When I look around, I see that everyone is feeling the financial pinch, influenced largely by the (ever) rising cost of fuel, which has a cascading effect on everything from car sales, to food costs. People all over are doing everything that they can to save money, from driving less, to canceling vacations, and to eliminating discretionary expenses, of which would include memberships to websites. Is anyone looking at pointing to ...

Secure in one's Sexuality

Image
Before anyone jumps on me as being anti-gay, let me say that my brother was gay (no, he didn't change... he died of AIDS), I have a number of friends that are gay, I have worked with gays and have no personal issues with them in regards to their sexuality. I know that people have no choice in such matters. It is not like they picked up a book about gays and lesbians and said "Ah ha! This is exactly what I want to be!". In any case, this is not a blog about gays and lesbians, as much as it is about heterosexuals and their reaction to lesbians. The other day I was at Break.com when I came across yet another entry for a video of two lesbians kissing. Such a thing doesn't do a thing for me, and indeed, I am kinda tired of such things being thrown at me all the time, either from within magazines, or on television, or in the movies... well, you get the point. Anyway, I was curious about that particular posting, not for the imagery of the video of the two rather hot and ...
