Oh no you dont!! I am just pushing 5'9" and still have not turned 40. So I am damn sure not twice your age!!!! I am just going to have to give you a spankin' next time I see ya :-)

That's good Chad, I am 10lbs under you and half your age and height, so you should be happy with your weight.

Hey Don...

I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. It's amazing how, since John and I decided to part ways, I'm getting all kinds of offers for sex. Of course, they are all from 22 year olds with no jobs. Hmmm...wonder why that happening.

what about a 28 year old with a job?

or better yet i could like work for you =-p

HDKBill sorry about what happened, Ken just wasn't thinking and I am sure that will never happen again. I think at one point in time we all put our foot in our mouth. He deals with gossip and that kind of stuff daily, I think him posting in here he didn't think anything about it because we are all so comfortable in here. People who really know you, love you and that's all that matters. The post wrote about you wasn't believable anyway. ((hugs))

Hey Jacob,

Thanks for the kind words. As for putting his foot in his mouth, yeah, no doubt, but like you say, we've all done it at somepoint and dummies like me tend to do it over and over again, and when I do it, I usually do it big time and the shit hits the fan.:shithitfan:

148 pounds! damn, I've forgotten what that was like. I bet I've got a dozen pair of size 32 Levi's that I've been saving for years cause I keep saying that I'm gonna start exercising and eating right and get back down to 160 lbs so I can get back into them. My problem is that everytime I get the urge to exercise I lay down till if passes!:crybaby: So, I suppose I ought to just put them on ebay and accept the fact that I'm never gonna see 160 again.:crybaby:

Yep that's me I always make good on my offers. I don't think he'd care =-p

I'll email you the story of my name =-)

Are all HDK PRs written like that? I wouldn't have believed it simply by how over-the-top satirically written it is.

Is satirically a word? Edit: Yes it is.

Thanx for the support, Jacob. I truly appreciate your words. It gives me hope that maybe there are cool people left in this industry yet.

And you're right; I wasn't thinking. The email came through, I thought, "Wait a minute; this can't be true!" and because of how ludicrous it sounded, my first thought was to share and say "What the hell is THIS???" Many press releases come to us from personal email addresses, so I didn't even think about it. Obviously, that was my mistake, and I feel just terrible about it.

But as you said, at one point in time we all put our foot in our mouths. What's incredibly disheartening to me is the hostility that I've seen in this thread. Once again, I find myself shocked, saddened and appalled at the vehemence with which this crowd of people attack their own kind without regard to history or benefit of the doubt.

For the past two years, I have done nothing but show good intentions to everyone on this board. I have gone out of my way to make sure that people feel included in AVN Online. I have given them press and attention in a space they felt left out of, and did so without regard to whether or not they were supporting AVN Online in return by advertising with us or even coming to our shows. I have gone above and beyond the call of duty to reach out to these people even when they would consistently trash AVN Online--which was often. And I have made sure that the stories that I wrote about these people were factual and objective.

If one mistake on my part in all that time is grounds for dismissing me as having "lost all credibilty," then I truly wonder about what kinds of people I have put so much effort into reaching out to. Frankly, if anyone is willing to write me off that quickly for ONE indiscretion, that says a hell of a lot more about their character than it does mine.

What I also find ironic is how just a short time ago, this very board was littered with rumor, conjecture and heresay about AVN Online's involvement in the GPF development. People were posting inaccurate information left and right based on no more than what they'd heard via the grapevine, and in some cases, stuff they'd completely made up. I find it hyprocritical that anyone would call into question my professionalism or credibility when they themselves acted in a manner that was wildly inappropriate. But then again, I suppose I should expect such behavior by now. It seems to be rather par for the course here.

As I said before on the board and in my personal letter of apology to Bill, I simply made an error in judgment. End of story. Frankly, I'm shocked that anyone even suspect that there was any malicious intent on my part, given my history in this industry. It just proves to me once again that I'm dealing with a group of people who think it is their job to serve as the moral compass for all that is right and wrong, yet who refuse to hold themselves up to those same standards. That, to me, is what is truly awful here.

I stand by my apology, which I extended to Bill and to the board with deep sincerity and regret for my mistake, but I stand by my reputation, and I refuse to be judged in such a vile way by a group of people who, frankly, who do not support me as I have supported them--and who hold less and less importance in my life as they continue to show their true colors.

And that is my final word on this matter.

This is exactly why I support you, as you support our community. I also support you because you always stand your ground while being open to suggestion. You admit your mistakes and forgive others for theirs. You're good stock in my book :thumbsup:

Bill Gardner has already publicly forgiven you, along with publicly giving you a glowing endorsement, so your name is clear. All is good in la la land :bunny:

Trust in the fact that NONE of HDK's PR's are written like that. As I'm sure you figured out, it did not come from HDK but rather from a disgruntled ex-employee and ex-lover.

Guys, it's time to move on. Ken made an error in judgement. It was a mistake, he apologized. What the hell more can he do. The sun IS going to rise tomorrow, it is going to be hot in Palm Springs and if I get lucky I'll get laid tomorow night. Life will go on. No damge was done. Let's get over this and move on to topics that are going to make us money.:cash: Hell, that's why we're here.

I'm not a religious person and those that know me know that to be true. But, wasn't it the guy from Galilee that said, "he who is without sin cast the first stone"? We've all made mistakes. Ken had the balls to admit it. Most folks don't and can't accept responsibility for their own actions. Ken did...I respect that immensely as we all shoul and be glad we've got someone like Ken as a member of this board.

Nuff said....:nobody: nobody cares anymore.

Hugs to all,

Bill

PS...If anyone really wants to send any gifts...my dad didn't raise any dummies...they will all be gratefully accepted....:sucks:

Ken

I've been a member of this board off and on for a couple years now. I normally just browse the posts compared to actually replying just because I have a tendency of fueling hostility myself from the select few who thrive on arguments. I respect what you do for those of us who listen. You provide a service as well as a friendship to us in the industry. People who are willing to judge you based on one action, one mistake, are not worth your time.

Brush it off bro and don't take their shit, Bill is cool with you, and your friends are cool with you, that's all you need to worry about..

Good luck,
Ethan

[A_DeAngelo]

oh please - spare me Ken....!

I'm truly sorry that this happened to you Bill -

I think everyone on this board knows how we feel about integrity and ethics by now

let's hope that Ken has learned his lesson about verifying reports prior to posting

DeAngelo I think it's time you stick something big in your mouth other then that cigar mate :cheekymonkey:
