whoa. this was NOT my intent. call me immature in my communication
skills you're probably right... i pissed off mystery and style with
the 'is style beta' post as well and with the same reasoning... i
reasoned that with mystery/style so far beyond being accused of being
'beta' since they have a certain 'alphaness-guru' status here (well
the terms alpha and beta are a bit controvertial but the point is the
same to me).
likewise, i considered you so far beyond being accused of
commercialism it was okay to make jokes like this... lesson learned,
jokes are better not placed alongside serious ACCUSATIONS like the
ones i delivered.

yes... i see how my including you among the list implied
fastseduction.com and your material as 'future commercial products'.
that was not my intent.

i can see that fastseduction.com comes as close as anyhow possible to
free transfer of information, and i have benefited greatly from this
free service and owe it and the person who provides it, you! since
slowly i am coming to a position where i can help others i take the
opportunity. whatever i can give back to the group i do, and whatever
i don't give to the group, i don't know how, or don't know it would be
helpful, or don't have the recources yet.

maybe it influenced me subconsciously in a way i am not aware of. i
can say that the style many commercial seduction products are
advertised has been disturbing me for quite a while, and also it has
been very disturbing to me to see many posts had an air of dogma,
tabooization of questioning the content of commercial products.

i can see your reasoning and also arguments both for and against
copyrights... and i know about how being too idealistic can be
harmful, and that my particular beliefs i hold right now on copyrights
go completely against the way the whole western world thinks. i am
very uncertain on what would be effective in regard of withholding
information lest for profit or offering information for free.

i regret that i offended you. please let me say this.

i am very grateful that fastseduction.com exists, and i owe it
greatly. aligning you, the person who keeps fastseduction.com alive,
within a list of people who i am irritated about for the very reason
that from what i see they have a disturbing effect on what is going on
in fastseduction.com, is totally unreasonable, so unreasonable in fact
that i ASSUMED out of lack of better knowing that it would be clear
that you don't belong there. maybe you can think of yourself as never
having been mentioned.

it was out of line. and i will positively find out what self-reliance
and autonomous mean.

i'm doing the best i can to grow up, jay. and fastseduction.com is
playing a major role.
