La la la

So I guess various people at PayPal are not 100% in agreement on closing my account when I didn’t have any violations. I have received like half a dozen communications from them today. They keep sending me weird notices with quotes from their TOS which I am definitely not in violation of. I don’t even have to write to them to get a few of these. I’m kind of hoping I will win, given that I am genuinely in the right and all. Not overly optimistic, given their track record though. I think I’ve pretty much come up with a solution though, regardless. And PayPal can just end up owing me more money.

Got a brand new bankruptcy notice from the remnants of my old transaction bank folks. The first one got thrown out, but they have filed a new one with new attornies. Still in Utah. Bummer to have had someone take off with so much money they collected in my name. But I still gave all of my customers full service, even though I didn’t get their payments. So I think it was fairly invisible to them. And it is less aggravating to me than having the same thing done to me by Industrial Nation/Moon Mystique. I mean, it was A LOT less money when the IN/MM folks did it, but it hurt so much more coming from within my scene like that. Especially when I told those guys they could make good on it with ad space, if they had already spent the money they collected for print copies of Blue Blood and all. I just saw recently that those miserable thieves were selling rare old copies of Blue Blood on an auction site. Rare old copies which I sent them COD (because they already were past due on close to a grand) and they wrote me a check on a closed bank account. Nice, huh?

I don’t usually eat a lot of sweets, but I went and got some high end pastry last night as a treat for myself. Passion fruit mousse with layered rasberry and butter creme and a forest berry tart with all sorts of exotic berries and custard. My tongue is still orgasming. Bought some super-delish smoked salmon and corned beef too. Just for health points. Hee hee. Good thing my dad sent me a blood pressure machine.

Hoping to finish up some Blue Blood updates today. Was going to do it Monday but had a great shoot with a new girl instead. I think I’m going to go visit Szandora soon. I need to visit to get Szandora.com live, but really that is an excuse and I just wanna go.

A Lot of People Sure Have Had Problems with Pay Pal Lately

So apparently a certain competitive site reported my PayPal account even though I was not using it to sell anything adult.

PayPal just told me that they decided to close my account, even though I was not in violation, because someone could “miscontrue” my intentions and think that perhaps I would sell something adult. Even though my TOS clearly state that I comply with PayPal TOS and do not accept PayPal for adult advertisements.

I don’t really care about Pay Pal for accepting payments. Heck I lost thousands of dollars when they closed my business account. I accept Visa and MasterCard and pay by check and even Far East cards without them. But it is making me crazy having my personal account shut down because a lot of other people accept payment through PayPal.

Which services do other people like to get payments with?

I’m home now. Will write about comics for BlueBlood.net shortly. I appear to have bitten off a lot of work. Was kind of less productive than I wanted to be today, but I’m really happy about the way things are coming together. Surreally, I unexpectedly ran into the person who first got me into comics at coredumper’s event in SD. I took many funny pictures. My hotel rocked, but I didn’t take any pictures of naked girls in it. Did get to see fireworks from the balcony. TiVo didn’t catch much of interest in my absence. I couldn’t believe my box of the new Marquis still had not shown up when I got back. I am getting a bunch of new servers for my sites. Not sure how many yet, but more than I have now. Servers sure do add up after a while. But better too much than not enough I think. Rock and roll. I bought some really yummy cold cuts. I think I am going to eat some and then maybe go to sleep after reading something I bought at the convention or perhaps the new Carl Hiassen novel.

While some people were playing political games, Forrest and I were being productive. [takes moment to both in- and exhale] Okay, okay . . . RTB threw a party for the BlueBlood.net relaunch and the feature is now posted at http://www.blueblood.net/bb_120.html. Thanks, Jenn, Dave, and Jeremy!

TONS more hot deathrock photography at http://www.blueblood.net/bb_120.html!

Hey, check it out!

Note to morons: fetishgossip.com is not my site. I have never even posted so much as a comment on it. I just now used the site’s contact form to see if they collect IPs of people who post in their sidebar because I’d like to know what fucking idiot posted that I am a part of that site.

I was on that site for months before Ugly Shyla showed it to me.

I’ve been known to go out of my way to shoot heavy girls.

My photography and/or writing has appeared in Marquis, Skin Two, Secret, Taboo, Fetish, Extreme Fetish, Women in Power, Gothic Beauty, and of course Blue Blood, but I don’t really see my work as fundamentally fetish, so it would be silly for me to build a site based on that scene. There is only one person in the fetish scene I really dislike and I think a site where I slagged the same slag on a weekly basis would get awfully dull. I’m kind of proud of publishing so many interesting sites, so I’d feel silly doing one on all one topic all the time. I would also find it uninteresting. Believe me, fetishgossip.com would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more boring and repetitive if it were my site.

It is true that I like Kelly and I will stand up and say it in public. Does anyone really think I don’t have what it takes to say who I don’t like in public? I like to focus on the positive, but I am out of patience, so I’d recommend that certain people not push me. Hell, you do not even want to motivate me to post comments on fetishgossip.com. I’m happy to focus on the positive, but I do know the truth and I’ll just keep linking that site if I get mentioned on it in any form. If you don’t like that site, leave my name far from it, because I will talk about it when I am mentioned. I’m not afraid to sign my name to the truth and my lawyer is better than yours. And mine doesn’t have to worry about being asked about their preferences in receiving enemas from clients in open court.

Leave me the fuck out of it because I would rather pay attention to good things and what I’m working on. And you won’t like my green ass if you make me really angry. (Dork points if you get the reference, but I’m in that mode this week.)

If there are any fetish scenesters who would like to know my opinion of them, just drop me an email or post here or post a note on BlueBlood.net inquiring. The people complaining loudest about that fetishgossip.com site are the two-faced scum who think they have a monopoly on talking trash anonymously. I’m willing to stand by what I have to say. I am way too productive to spend a week insulting any one person, but I’ll be glad to take the time out to post a few sentences of the good, the bad, and the ugly, upon request. I’ve shot more than two thousand people. But I don’t think I need all my fingers to count the number of people I’ve shot that I don’t feel positive about.

You want my opinion, all you have to do is ask for it. I’ll be happy to sign my name.

For that matter, if you want Forrest Black’s opinion of you, I bet he would provide it upon request as well.

Now, if you all will excuse me, I have actual work to do.

Yay!

I have Chinese food delivery. Cashew chicken and salt and pepper shrimp with head on. Smells amazing and I’m about to eat some. It rules to be me!

Okay, so when I posted the link to fetishgossip.com, someone friended me and showed me some evidence that she (don’t know her but am pretty sure she is female) felt showed Kelly owns fetishgossip.com. She felt that IP tracking was 100% proof. As an internet professional, I know IPs can be spoofed. I felt the evidence was inconclusive. But it is irrelevant anyway. The site is kind of funny but hardly worth building a lifestyle around. I don’t have any new fetish scene drama in my life and I like that just fine. No desire to get involved.

Anyway, I was going down my friends list and saw a post about fetishgossip.com made by vivavanstory and so I trundled over to the site to see what recent updates had been. I noticed a post there referring to these pictures and this livejournal post.

So I posted the following in response to this person who had contacted me first:

Was just going over my friends list and your entry reminded me to take a look at Fetish Gossip and I noticed your post referring to my diner snapshots.

Forrest Black made a joke to me that the reason people think Fetish Gossip is Kelly’s site is because they looked around the scene and were like “now who has a spine . . .” I’m not saying I agree with everything Kelly thinks or vice-versa, but I do respect his spine. S.P.I.N.E. is not a secret organization or a nonsecret one for that matter.

It was a joke I posted for Forrest’s amusement because he was ribbing me about posting pix of the four of us in a diner. The general theme being that people would over-interpret snapshots of four people eating burgers.

. . . and I discovered that they had taken me back off of their friends list, after they had contacted me first, so that I could not actually reply. The reason sites like this Fetish Gossip one get popular is because of breakdowns in communication. A perfect stranger contacts me and wants to have a dialog about something. I am open to her. I listen to what she has to say. And then find that I can not respond. What is wrong with people?

Oh for fuck’s sake…

Hey, no one I respect ever got addicted . . .

Evelyne got me to join Friendster a while back. Never really used it though. Masuimi recently got me to join My Space. Been revisiting the whole sort of friend network concept on various sites. Most of them just don’t have enough context somehow. Also, Evelyne is a musician and I added a couple of people on the various networks who I actually know who are musicians and now every band in the friend network universe is asking me to add them. Seems sort of spammy, but they have to promote somehow.

I want a better internet time-utilizer.
