Re: Hail to the chief
JD, please listen to these people. You need to accept that, although you may sometimes be right, your path is wrong.
Congratulations on raising money for the family. I actually stopped by the remote and shook your hand Saturday. I didn't say much, and left my son to put money in the bin. Regardless, good job in doing what you did.
As far as your "jihad", give it up. I doubt you could ever get a full time job in the LV market...even nationally, as you are (career that is) seen as a joke.
Please try to change your image. Your perception. You mean good, but come off as a goof. You may go after me, but I have a good job, and I do a good job. I am not your enemy. Nor is anyone who tries to give you advise you may not want.
Good luck, JD.
