Anyone here ever been a panelist before? Been asked to be the main speaker at an event?

Reality…funding for the event is a separate office from those getting people to present the proposed panel discussions.

When you are asked by an organization to be a panelist…they don’t tell you ALL the other panels that will occur..they don’t give you advance notice of the participants or even the funding methods they are working on and may not have nailed down at the time they ask you to be a speaker or presenter.

They do tell you what they are looking for, and may even ask you to limit scope of presentation to a very narrow niche you have experience in…

Black needs to stop shooting himself in foot by talking about everything and everybody if he wants main points to be heard.

This trepnow guy is bad news, is he the first? Is he only one..that’s the stuff black needed to put legs on this..otherwise it’s just one more shameful event in the life of porn. Show the pattern…not the event.

@FSC: Will you be returning every penny that this convicted, lowlife, piece of garbage pedophile, Kurt Treptow gave to you???

Exactly Nick…..
Actions speak louder than words!

C’mon, Mike! If Julie Meadows did an interview on the guy, at the very least she’d have to google him beforehand so she would know what to ask him!!! Otherwise, she wouldn’t be doing her job as a good interviewer, is that not correct? What you seem to be saying, by default, is that Julie didn’t bother to google a prospective interviewee? And then she takes the interview off her site to try and distance herself from the story without ANY explanation???? Really?

” it’s a two week old story that never got the legs it should have”
Mike? That’s because NO ONE is talking about this issue except Rob and Monica! And now the media in Romania IS talking about it!
everyone else is talking about nonsense! The industry doesn’t want anyone to talk about this issue! They want it to go away… For obvious reasons!

Yes “beating a dead horse” does sound familiar to me , Mike.
That’s what you also said in regards to the Derek Hay / Alex Gonz story.
Another issue we disagree on!

A lawyer not research somebody before doing business with them, mike?
LOL

does the phrase “beating a dead horse mean anything to you”?

Look Mike…I know you don’t like Rob Black…I get that.. Yeah I know..he’s a mess… But he is right on most issues… And he is definitely right on this one! Give rob some credit for doing the right thing and demanding answers from these people in the industry who have been doing business with a pedophile! Him and Monica are the only two people talking about it… Everyone else is silent… Speaks volumes!

mike? What are you getting all worked up about?
Julie and Randazza certainly do need to respond! We are talking about them associating with a pedophile here! They need to say something… By not responding they are telling the world ..it’s no biggie!
