I've had one of the biggest personalities in porn call me up one time and--while ranting and raving and being thoroughly condescending--threaten to never again talk to AVN if I moved forward with a story I was writing. Luckily, I was very quick to diffuse that situation immediately by pointing out to them the importance of the story in the long run, and they relented. But I remember sitting there thinking, "How dare you. I'm a reporter doing my JOB, a professional in my field just like you--AND I'm giving you press by writing about YOUR movies. On top of that, you aren't even advertising with us. Who the hell do you think you are talking down to me like I'm a 5-year-old?"
