I very disappointed about how the poker affiliates who are in the industry cannot think for themselves and have taken on a “Parking Revolution, and you can create 100 dynamic parked sites for $15 a month! You can add banners, custom headers, RSS articles, and much more.

Now back to group think… While Smackdog and other idea thieves are copying me, I’m already 2 steps ahead of them. That’s the problem when you are an idea thief, you are always behind the times.

Let me get one thing clear here, I don’t post anything on here or any forum that will jeopardize my money making opportunities in the future. Anyone who does this has either a paid poker affiliate ebook, or is a fool. Trust me in the fact that I’m 2 years ahead of any poker affiliate with my ideas. I have projects going on that nobody has done in the poker world. If I don’t have a project going on, I have the domains for it and and waiting for right time. Not to mention my nonpoker site ideas that I’ve had for years. The problem with that is if I invest 20k and do it with 100k to advertise, another
developer will just copy the idea. I’m not saying that site cloning doesn’t happen, I’m complaining about someone in a community blatantly trying to undermine me. It would be different if someone trying to support there family Pm’ed me and said “Hey, I have similar idea or was inspired by your post. Do you mine if I offer something similar?”.

There is a group of affiliates that have teamed up against me because they feel threatened and I don’t kiss their but or acquiesce to their group think mentality. They group together and try to pick fights with me on forums because they simply don’t have time to do anything else because they added all the pages to their stupid bonus site from 2003.

I don’t care if people borrow ideas from me… That’s going to happen… I’m talking about blatant rip offs of ideas and trying to undermine my income. Like I don’t know how they were using individuals to try and undermine me in popular forums.

They continually talk in PMs about how unprofessional I am and what a bad affiliate I am, yet they copy whatever I do. While they are making fun of me they are emulating various aspects of my company. This is a sign of fear and insecurity on their part. My being “unprofessional” was a byproduct of having to fend for myself in posts where I was trying to make a living. They were deleting posts of anyone who came to defend me, and or posted about them. They protected thieves for months, but as soon as they started their own forum the thieves were banned in one day.

Here is Smackdog post from yesterday

Here is my post a month ago

Looks like they like to hate but don’t know how to create…. Ridge, Smackdog, Jeremy and many others suffer from group think. If you look at the definition of group think at Wikipedia ,it’s comical how much PAL fits the description.

Structural faults in the organization: insulation of the group, lack of tradition of impartial leadership, lack of norms requiring methodological procedures, homogeneity of members’ social background and ideology.

insulation of the group – Invite Via PM – access only to members
Isolation of the group from outside sources of information and analysis.

Stereotyping those who are opposed to the group as weak, evil, disfigured, impotent, or stupid. – labeling me as unprofessional

Rationalizing warnings that might challenge the group’s assumptions. – warnings to Ban people when they oppose or deleting posts

Direct pressure to conform placed on any member who questions the group, couched in terms of “disloyalty”. – Delete posts of those who defend users who don’t agree with the group

Mindguards — self-appointed members who shield the group from dissenting information. Kaus – Ridge

I did not post my blog service for someone to take the idea. I posted it to make money! I will not post my ideas on Pokeraffiliatelistings.com where they can steal my ideas and re-post as their own!

Smackdog has replied to me saying his Idea is different because he is offering content. I offered content VIA RSS which is likely what hes going to use. Or he will be using content from people submitting articles which is what I was going to do anyways.
