Scott Sez…

Hey Scott, I doubt you’ll do it but I figured I would ask anyway. A few of us on the blog thought it might be interesting for you to do a “Scott Sez” on the email I sent you from Caliber. To get your side of the issues he’s talking about. Like I said in the comments I did catch him in one lie concerning the email and I was wondering what else he stretched the truth about. Thanks.

You know, the weird thing is that I didn’t even realize most of this was even an issue.  I just thought he was writing for PlaceToBe and I only revoked his posting access once he started bitching on Facebook.  Anyway, here we go…

“Here’s why I quit:
A few years ago when I was just posting on the BoD, I got into an argument with Chad Bryant. Well, he went over to a google newsgroup, created an account under my name and started making posts that said “Look how hard I’m trolling Chad Bryant over on the Blog of Doom”. Well, this pissed Scott off, and he banned me. I said it wasn’t me, and he told me that he trusted Chad, and to be honest, he didn’t like me.
Well, a while goes by and Chad pulls the same shit, so Scott apologies. I ask if I can write for the blog, he says yeah. At the same time, Charlie Reneke started writing. I freely admit, my style was rough in the beginning. Well, we both drew complaints. Scott emails me to tell me he’s letting me go because I got complaints. He says that Charlie got them too, but he brings readers in. So, what’s Charlie do about a month later? Has his melt down and insults everyone. Does Scott even stand up for his fans? Nope.

(My fans can stand up for themselves.) 
So, I come back after a while. At this point, I’d tried to create a msg board for the BoD on two separate occasions. Would Scott back it? Get behind it? Endorse it? Nope. (I wanted an embedded one so I could get ad revenue off it, duh.)  Scott also created that tacky as fuck header that said it was “created by the sci-fi-customizer!” on it. So, I create a brand new header, and give it to him. It’s the one that’s up now. Does he even thank me? Nope. (Several times in fact, publicly.)  Scott didn’t know how to produce ebooks, once I did, he asked me how I did it, so I taught him. (Amazon’s Kindle help forum “taught” me to do it after I Googled it.) 
Last June, I went to see The Dark Knight Rises at a midnight screening. I had some where to be afterward, but I specifically came home to write up a short review, and post it on the BoD so that website would be the first to have a review before ANYONE. Before 411mania, insidepulse, or any of the other wrestling websites that also talked movies. I don’t make myself late so I can help my site, no, I make myself late so I can help SCOTT’S website. Then everyone started being the pricks that they are, because I didn’t enjoy the film that much. Then a few hours, what does Scott do? He posts a review of the movie that some random person emailed him. Does he even mention mine? Thank me? Nope. I also did the same thing for Iron Man 3. (Don’t know what the fuck he’s going on about here.)
I told Scott I could help him with his email over-flow, no problem, and I was even in the middle of creating an FAQ to help him with people asking the same questions, AND a BoD greatest hits page. (Never saw any of those.)  Not to mention the QoTD, which became a lot of people’s favorite feature, and brought a ton of people around every day to check it out, thus upping his ad revenue. (I’ve never shared information on my ad revenue with anyone, ever.  And for the record, it has little to do with which posts get the most visits and more with time of year and whims of the advertisers.)  Do I ever get any tank you? Any “good job” or anything of the matter? Nope. Not once. Really, it’s no big deal, but it shows what kind of character he has. So, the other day, Dougie is being Dougie. I try to have an adult, flat out debate with him, to which he refuses. The next day, in the Die Hard thread, he makes a post where he references the argument we had the day before, the one he refused to have with me. So, I just deleted it. He then signed up as Jesse Baker, went to my website, and spammed me.
I email Scott, and tell him what happened. I ask Scott to ban Dougie for just one day. I mean, I’m his most loyal writer. (Except for the time he flaked out and quit.  Twice.)  I’ve busted my ass to make the BoD a better place. Would have done anything he’d asked to help out. I’m a very well liked guy around there. Dougie on the other hand, is a piece of shit. He went else where and posed as someone else, which is apparently a big deal to Scott, and all I want is a 24 hour ban.
So, I find out that some views to my website come from some wrestling forum. I go to the thread, and apparently the forum is run by Scottsman. Who we know is one of Scott’s best friends. Who’s in this thread? None other than Dougie. He’s been talking shit about the BoD for YEARS in this thread, posting comments people had made in discussions and making fun of them. I then see that Dougie is posting our discussion and mocking me, which is fine, but then I see the fucking email I sent Scott about him. Scott never emailed me back, but what did he do? He fucking sends Dougie the email I sent Scott, and tells him to “quit antagonizing Caliber” like I’m some fucking petulant child who’s making a big deal out of nothing. (You were.)  I mean, he sends the guy my email. Why the fuck would he do that? (Because it amused me.)  Here I was, Scott’s most loyal guy, (Except for the time he flaked out and quit.  Twice.)  and he just shits all over my trust by doing this. So, apparently Dougie is a good friend of his. (I think it’s more I’ve grown accustomed to him.) 
That’s why I quit. All of that history. I did a lot for this guy, even though he’s been a prick to me a number of times, and he won’t even ban a guy for 24 hours who’s completely hated? And even sends the guy my email, for which the guy uses to openly mock me? Not to mention how he treats his fans. He doesn’t give a shit about them. He only cares about his ad revenue. Well, he’s not a guy I want to work for anymore. I didn’t bother even telling him I quit, because I know he doesn’t give a shit. (For the record, the blog had by far the biggest numbers in its history in the months AFTER Caliber left.  I’m not saying one had anything to do with the other, however, because I wouldn’t want to sound like a prick.)
