I've met him - he was passing through here one day three or four years ago and popped in to try and talk me into forking out for some advertising. he was perfectly polite and civil throughout if a little overbearing (in the way that men that age often are, nothing we don't see every day), no booking was ever mentioned (so either he didn't dare try his luck or he thinks I'm a moose
) and the only thing he got for free was a cup of coffee.
I was also confused as to why I had a five star rating on his site, but as has been said it's cobbled together from FRs and Adultwork. Why anybody would pay to read what somebody thought of what somebody else thought of a prossie he'd never met is a mystery to me too, mind. I was a lot more annoyed when he rang me about a month later to ask if he could mention me in a magazine article he was doing and use a picture; I agreed on the grounds that it was just in an editorial context and my contact details, but lo and behold my phone number appeared in some revolting swingers magazine and the pond life I was getting phone calls from (who were under the impression I was looking for 'outdoor fun', amongst other things) made our How Not To... thread look tame. My language was even more of a disgrace than it normally is, and I wound up with a grovelling apology from the editor after I sent him a furious email to complain.
Our George obviously got a bollocking, because I then got a whiny one from him expressing disbelief at my ingratitude for the free advertising (the fact that 'swingers' don't expect to be paying ?XXX per hour notwithstanding). The man has no grasp of context, or targeted marketing (any more than anyone else who hasn't done this job has, pretty much) but whilst he may be a prat, he's just trying to make a living and I doubt the books sell many nowadays.
One thing we have no reason to believe he is is a rapist, which is why Jodie, you're getting one more chance to substantiate or explain your post like Janitor asked you to, or I will remove it.
