Kicked and Banned — Follow Up

**Reposted from the first Lair, original date: 12/31/03

A quick follow-up to being kicked and banned from the SS List…

I can’t help but feel Ross inadvertantly did me a HUGE favor. Its funny, because I opened up my mailbox today, and it was like heaven not having to weed through all those SS posts! I was amazed at how much more fun e-mail had become! Isn’t that wierd? I was a bit worried because the SS list has been a staple in my mailbox for almost 7 years now, so I was concerned I’d miss it, but surprizingly I don’t!

In fact, I almost feel energized because I’d often post advice to that list that was either ignored or got me flamed by some people on there. I can’t tell you how frustrating it was when I posted valid advice that went counter to everyone else’s, and then when the guy I was trying to help followed everyone else’s advice, he ended up worse off than he was before. It was too emotionally draining for me to see that happen time and time again, and in a way, its a good thing its no longer part of my life.

I can only hope that either someone else comes in as a voice of reason on that list, or Ross starts taking a more active role in it to set everyone straight. His posts that usually consists of only one sentence or less aren’t of much use to anyone. In fact, I know a while back he got on people’s cases for being too harsh with their critisizms of other people, which in a way kept that list quite honest as opposed to pandering to the lowest common denomenator like it is now.

I’ve also been approached by Double Your Dating to do a review of their eBook, which I plan on doing sometime in January. I’ll probably do reviews of all the major seduction products as well, including SS, which will be as honest as I can make it now that I don’t have to worry about pissing Ross off anymore. Before I was trying not to do anything to overtly criticize Ross’s products because I really didn’t want his business to be affected (even though I honestly doubt the 3 people reading this website would affect anything of Ross’s, lol), but now that Ross has told be where I can shove it, I guess I don’t have to censor my opinions anymore. Though I will say that I’ll probably be looking at SS as an over-all system rather than at individual products, so there will be plenty of good to go with the bad, just as there are in all the products out there.

I’d also like to thank everyone who sent me e-mails of condolances and congratulations for getting Kicked and Banned from the SS List. It’s nice to know that at least privately, there is a substantial number of people who agree with my views, so I can be sure I’m not some raving loon. =)
