Damned if I don't get some badass email (two, maybe three, I forget) from passing along Dennis the Peasant goings-on. He's up to Part 5 of the Blogging System, and the fella's over at Anklebiting Pundits must be swimming in blog-workshop cancellations. Yes, Virginia, people DO go to Blog Workshops. Can't make this stuff up. Blogging isn't for cash (someday soon someone will come up with an uber-cool name for the professional sites, maybe even call them, um, websites, but for now everyone just calls them big-blogs), but Dennis has the scoop on how to make it so, Number 1.
I'm of the opinion it is not probable...hey, anything's possible just look at LGF...that a newbee, an unfinanced newbee who isn't featuring porn or happens to be the cousin of one of the big-bloggers, can make a go at blogging for dollars. Not anymore. Millions of places to click to and if you aren't given a leg-up, forget about it. Now, you can always step in shit, like Dennis, and become successful in such endeavors because a hated entity screwed the shit out of you.
Just remember though, taking advice from someone who managed to get fleeced by Roger fucking Simon and Charles Little Greenballs....
'Nuff said?

Help me out with this. As I understand it Dennis and Roger and Charles had an idea to start a blog advertizing business. At some point Roger and Charles decided that they didn't want to do it the way that Dennis had worked out. They came up with PJ Media and told Dennis that he could be involved with it if he wanted to, but not as an equal partner. Dennis walked away from it because he didn't think the new business plan was as good as the original idea.
At some point after this Dennis decided that Charles and Roger backing out of a proposed business deal was the greatest evil in history of the universe and went postal all over the web.
Did I get that right?
No, Dennis actually got some work done by third parties on his promise to pay them once the venture was underway. They saw noting and DTP saw nothing, but a lot of disappointed people.
THEN Simon boned DTP, and DTP is rightfully pissed.
Real dollars were spent to help out in this venture and DTP was left holding the bag.
I remember that now, however what stopped Dennis from going ahead with Tulip Advertising anyway? He said that he had confidence in the business plan. It did seem a good idea.
Yay, I can see you guys again.
Ahem, okay. Trying to follow this from day-one was difficult for someone with so short an attention span as myself, but I do believe what Bad offered is an accurate description of the goings-on. Den did some heavy lifting, then Rog and Greenballs ran with it after sending a Dear John letter to the Peasant. They also tried to fuck the owner of the Open Source Media name, and even told everyone that they'd negotiated with the guy at the same time he was telling everyone how angry he was that they'd never even asked him, just used it then lied about it.
Quite the drama. To me, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. One dude saying they screwed him behind closed doors was one thing, but the Open Source owner really proved how awful these thieves really were.
PS:
Dennis USED to stop by here and drop a line or two, but like Moxie and others probably decided that enough was enough with slumming at some deranged nobody's public diary.
I don't mind being corrected when in error, and haven't hurt anyone in...what time is it now...
