Gonzo. Dead.

@joeschmoe
what are you thanking me about? Are you capable of reading? An axe to grind? For God’ sake, stop doing drugs, people. Or at least stop being so stupidly siding for sides, no matter what. Read and then criticize, if you like. But read, first. And learn at least the meaning of “thank you”…it doesn’t have the use you make of it.

Sabrina is too bitter and has an axe to grind. I mean, aggressively attacking every last little line item is just way too much. HELP and guide them if you know so much about building a union.

They are starting something in an industry that has never had a union before. It will start off a bit of a mess with lots of things to nitpick about. Work with them and help them; dumping all over them so the people involved just give up due to consistent criticisms is not the way.

What you are doing here pushes people with good intent to throw their arms in the air and quit. It doesn’t encourage growth or improvement with this approach.

if you, Sabrina, feel they are not the right people, and you are unwilling to help them in a positive way; start one yourself. It’s easy to throw rocks when you are not the one in the trenches.

Thank you

I wish I had more readers and commenters like this on my websites.
Nobody wants to read my stuff and I just really want to fit into the porn industry and be part of it so much. I guess I’ll have to go back to selling second hand cars and selling crack to school kids.

It was just a way to reinforce the concept. I know this is an open, free place and whatever your opinion on the topic I thank you for that.

Somebody has just showed me a ballot. If it is a legitimate one and given that I am a first hour member and that I haven’t received any ballot, hence I guess I’m not supposed to vote (I’d be curious how voters get chosen), my name is not on the ballots although I have applied for nominations. I will go until the end of this because I won’t let go the shit from people who try to screw with me and my reputation and therefore I will post an update in here, if Mike will allow me too, or elsewhere. Just for the sake of a laugh: Presidency nominations: 1 for one spot. Other positions nominations 4 for 3 spots. Parents, friends of friends, founders. It doesn’t look good. I really wanted to have faith in such initiative, but I guess faith and honesty are not words that you can find in this industry dictionary. I’ll write something soon wherever I’ll be given the chance to. Stay tuned.

@BT

The money that would need to be spent on PR isn’t available at the moment because joining the union is still free, but not forever! So join for free now while you can so you can get a front row seat to pay in the future! No one wants to be one of the last people paying!

@Phyllisha

“I can not answer ALL the questions that you may have because we are going to have to answer those questions together.
How to handle our health insurance
How to handle the piracy issue
How to find a way to keep the companies left up and running so we can survive.
How to fight the government on trying to take our children away because of our profession.
How to figure out taxes,, employment, self employment.
And so so much more.”

What you just said in a nutshell is that you want to offer everyone all these things and more, but you have no idea as to how the fuck you can or even if you can do it and the only way any of this might be a reality is if people join. That’s a really bad sales pitch.

My advice to you would be to stop everything you are doing. Stop talking to people. Stop making websites. Stop trying to write things on your own. Build the union with your own money, hire good and expensive people to run it, and stay the hell away from it because you might break it. At this stage it may be beneficial to create a fake name for yourself and slap that on it because it would definitely help.

You admit that you have nothing to show or offer anyone at this point. If you don’t have the money to get this off the ground to provide people something to invest in then go make the money. If you can’t make the money accept that you failed at this. Having everyone else join you on your failure in an attempt to make it work is not the way to go. It’s not your time. It may never be your time. Oh well. The sun will come out tomorrow. Don’t bet your bottom dollar though. You may need that.

@Phyllisha

“THANK YOU!! To everyone that has joined with us these last couples of days since this posting. Your willing to jump in and help us with the things that are brought to our attention instead of just setting on the side lines (on your ass) judging us from afar.”

is this expressing appreciation or showing seriously bunched up panties?

ICYMI From afar several commenters sat on their asses and made time to informally share judgements they charge to formally present with sugar coating. If your intent was attacking the messengers give yourself a gold star, if your intent was responding to message contents you failed miserably. You be the judge on that one.
