I've been following this sordid mess since the beginning and truthfully, this whole thing is amazing to me. I hope that the OP finds success, I really do...
I think a lot of us older members have been where he is - young, full of energy and knowing everything. I think that's just part of life. I think the guy even has some fans here because, in many ways, we probably see bits of ourselves in him. I know I do. That may be a big part of the reason why such veterans have stepped in to comment on the situation. Of course, that's speculation on my part.
But, there's more to it OP... at least from my POV.
In the end, you just come across in a manner that dishonors the contributions of those that have been down this path before you. Basically, that's just not cool. Imagine that twenty years from today some punk who's taking over the club scene approaches you with the same attitude.
Would YOU feel disrespected?
Would YOU want to help someone like that?
How far would YOU go to reach out?
Even though you probably won't do it, take a moment and really think about the long-term ramifications of dealing with people in the manner that you do. This will be very important over the long-run of your life and let me tell you, the "long run" is here before you know it.
It may not hurt you now but some day, it very well might and at the moment you need it the most.
Likely this thread will fade into obscurity soon but for those newbies that unearth it, it should still serve as a valuable lesson. For anyone that is new or aspiring to achieve something of note in their lifetime with respect to entrepreneurship, it has already been done.
Listen and learn from those that have done it before. This place, the people here that have *ACTUALLY REALLY MADE MILLIONS FROM NOTHING* speak from a place of wisdom and compassion. Take heed of it and MAYBE you'll make it as well.
Best of luck OP.
