I was unaware this article, discussion was out until now, 2 months later. As a full time domainer for 14 years now, its good to see pockets and meet new people. During these events, I like to focus on people I want to get to know and see how working in the industry with others can benefit partnerships and make money and value.. I'm not a media hound so when a reporter mentions they are doing a story, great but they should dedicate more time then just saying there doing a story and leave it at that. Paul Sloan went out and spent the time to research the industry. There were some big guys there in niche industries, along with my usual friends, so I spend the limited time I have with them. If he would have mentioned he would like to talk and discuss more, then would have been happy to give him 15 minutes to discuss when I went to the Whitehouse to meet Ira Magaziner before the issuance of new global TLDS, etc. , Case law establishment, Corporate legal abuse, theft, loopfuls and even the time when we thought about taking down the root A servers going throught the worldnic backdoor. Joke on the taking down servers but I met a couple others that mentioned it and we would have succeeded. Anyways, I going to read his article now but our industry is not very big so let people learn from there mistake, we all make them. Happy Domaining.... P.s. Dont disclose what we make but 14 years full time, fully paid assets, 26k ft. estate, condo in Miami, health and happiness, money doesnt matter, its about being Happy, Healthy and Having fun and Domains give me the base to be and do those things, not to mention meeting some of the best people in any industry....

Patrick you are the perfect example of how someone can switch their careers and within 18-months, be successful at it. I have a lot of new domainers ask me how can I get started quickly, I tell him watch chef patrick's moves and mimic them. I encourage you to keep going and do what you are doing... @Chef ….

Allow him to ask questions and learn. So many people say this is not a real industry... I hate to tell them, this industry is set to explode againwhen this economy starts to pickup. If domainer's can make it through 2-renewal cycles, they will be rewarded. I am not putting myself in the top money earners, but I do make a full-time living off of domains and I have a PhD in Business focusing on economics. IMHO opinion, scoop up job domains and financial domains. These will hit the top five in the next 24 months. How about giving him a second chance and inviting him to a local meeting over a few beers.

Not unless we can all sit around a nice bonfire and pass around a giant jug of "apple cider". (Yeah, I just discovered that in the mid 1880's, Apples were considered "sinful" fruit, because so many people were making that tasty "apple cider". So instead of addressing the issue of "why are people getting drunk all day on apple cider", they just chose to demonize apples. The nature of a non-thinking civilization -- yep, I'm a liberal "elitist". As for "getting along", discussion creates a 'symbiosis' that then sets a consensus of acceptable behavior. We just have to find out what that is! cheers @Bruce

I was ready to “let it go” and then you brought it up again!

He said he'd give me a call tomorrow. My goal it to get the word conniving out of the article and a head start on his follow up story. @MHB – I gave him my contact information.
