Excuse Me?!!
First of all, you are verbally attacking the board/website admin. Secondly, you are attacking my friend. If you knew Aaron, you'd know that he is one of the fairest and nicest people you'll meet. Not only through this website, but behind the scenes he has helped and stood up for many models and kids not only for finding good work, but also in their safety and getting their prints/cd through tfp shoots where the photographer didn't deliver. He wasn't attacking you, just stating the facts that without some form of evidence, there's not much validity in your original post. It all may be very well true, but we don't know.
Look at it from his point of view. You post with an alias, which is fine, but we don't know you here. For all we know, someone can post something of similar nature as you posted with the only motive is to damage a reputation due to a personal grudge - having nothing to do with business. We don't know you or the details. Someone could very well post on another board how you're unprofessional, crazy, wacky and need professional help. How would the readers of that post know for sure if it were true or not?
Instead of replying defensively, why not email or pm Aaron with the details. Now, not only do you owe him an apology, but you've damaged your professional reputation here for all to see.
We like to get to know people before we judge them. We could very well give you another chance.
I have no lid upon my head, but if I did you could look inside and see what's on my mind.
