So then what is ultimately more important? Respect from your peers or sales? I hate that it has to come down to one or the other. In most cases I don't see that to be the case. Alwyn Cosgrove will be the first to tell you that he's not teaching anything that hasn't already been taught. Although he does bring a fresh perspective to everything

I want to be professional so I won't mention them here but if you email me I'll be happy to tell you. I can tell you who it wasn't though so "Steve Martin" whatever your screen name is, can stop bothering the girl who did my first site. She had nothing to do with it..
You might as well close this thread JP because I'm not responding. I said my piece and I'm not coming back because I can see this getting ugly....

Jimmy, feel free to come in here and defend yourself. The mods are keeping an eye on this thread, but so far it looks like people are staying pretty civil and just asking legit (albeit tough) questions.
Stuff like this will blow over though. I remember some early articles I wrote in my twenties that I would vehemently deny any knowledge of today. This will eventually just fall off the grid as new stuff is always taking it's place.
I don't know why you would be protective or professional with those guys in any way though. They potentially damaged your career and income. I would be suing them and telling everyone in your circle and beyond what they did. I would put up a large banner on the front of my website naming them and saying what shit heels they are. It's not a matter of revenge (well, maybe partly), it's about making sure that their reputation takes a hit since it was their supposed actions hurt yours.
