You're right. I don't usually act like this. Tony Shelton has been talking down to me all day -- basically telling me I have an elementary education. Don't understand English -- and I responded back the same way. I guess it's ok in your mind for him to belittle people, but not for me. And that's ok. I prefer not to respond that way either.
The last thing you asked me to do was write an article about the Windows 101 event, and I did.
there is no victory here. Not yet. Except that I decided to stand up for myself.
I've said all along they were a paying customer, two articles a month. I said it in my note to the UAMCC BOD. I write two: One on a vendor, which has highlighted several vendors who support both the PWNA and UAMCC (and mentioned UAMCC in the process) -- and then one on their topic of choice, which has primarily consisted of certification programs and their convention. However, your idiom -- "bought and paid for" -- implied that PWNA determines what is included in the magazine and what isn't. PWNA has no idea what else goes into our magazine. I don't consult with them. They don't tell me who I can associate and who I can't. They don't tell me whether or not to use UAMCC members, or whether to include a UAMCC article or not, or if I have "permission" to associate with members of certain groups or anyone else. They have a professional relationship with me. They don't try to influence me. They have nothing else to do with eClean's content except for paying for two articles a month that they approve. And for that matter, Paul Horsley generally doesn't know what articles I'm planning to run until I'm just a few days from publishing.
Excellent...beautiful
Yes, and I was happy to write it.
Brian, content provided from the UAMCC according to the agreement -- which was never signed -- meant that the UAMCC would actually write the content and submit it; I would not have to write the article. While I agreed to write the article in this particular case as a favor, it took me more than a full day's worth of work to write it. That's why we offered free space but required UAMCC to write the content -- once the contract was signed, which it never was. Ron said that he knew we needed a contract, that Nichole had been out sick and no one had been able to write an article. I said I would be willing to write something myself for that issue as a good faith effort.
Again, I promised not to release the file you shared with me, and I kept that promise. That was what the screen shot you've used over and over was about.
The non-written agreement was that we would get a written agreement. I can't tell you exactly what was in the non-written agreement because I wasn't there and I've seen no written agreement to tell me what was in it. I only saw the email that said you were to get me content...and a written agreement...neither of which I've ever received.
I don't know what we agreed upon because I wasn't there at your face to face meeting and there's no written agreement. We would have worked extra to get it rolling if we had the agreement as agreed upon. [/Quote]
This is the travel you planned to provide, correct? I told you I thought I could come to Iowa, but I wasn't sure because my husband was possibly being furloughed this summer. We weren't sure if he would be gone for two months or not; if he had been, I would have had to stay here with my children. I have the emails if I need to post them. I don't know when New Jersey was, but I wasn't asked to come. You said maybe next year you'd send me to Milwaukee. Again, I wasn't invited. I would have worked my hardest to make it happen.
eClean is a partnership. I am a partner, but Paul Horsley is the majority partner. You and Paul are the ones that met in person and discussed the deal. It was between you two. I don't know exactly what was said except that you would get it to us in writing, and you never did.
