I get up to see this B.S. is still going on, and one of my favorite characters, Sword, has joined the fray. Sword, are you the son of Richard Miller? A couple things, if Anthony had not trusted me, he never would have met the head of TV-ERA and gone on this trip in the first place. I am not personally interested in the personal publicity that Anthony is so actively seeking for this project. I offered my help and contacts in coordinating it for him, and that is why it makes me look bad when he makes a commitment and then blows it off in his world revolves around Anthony personality. I did not know of this type of behavior prior to going on this trip, but have received some PM's about it in the last day from others. What I am interested in is simple courtesy and respect. Why Anthony is calling some of the characters on this thread and inviting them to his return to the U.S. and not myself was outrageous. This was my damm idea and I sunk alot of time and effort and money into it. I wanted the courtesy to be there to see the fruits of what I started. Again for Anthony not to not have the basic manners to contact me regarding prescheduled media opportunities that were to focus on him and interviews with a couple Senators that were also previously scheduled, shows again a simple lack of courtesy and respect. It also damages my credibility with these contacts. I must repeat that I am not a Moslem, nor am I a Albanian. I came up with the idea for this project because I did not like the idea of blindly sending money to Mercy Intl. and I was interested in helping the orphans of this conflict. By the way I did contact his Father a day before I put up my first post yesterday, and he apologized for his son's behavior. I am dumbfounded that eight hours before I left Macedonia, Anthony has me spending a couple hours typing up a long letter that he personally wrote regarding the refugees in long hand. I still have this letter on my laptop. He had me do this because he is not a great typist or speller and it was just one of countless little things I did to contribute to this process. I made my post yesterday because others may benefit from my experience if they are to do joint projects with Anthony. I know that some of you will be involved in his new site, seminars and what have you. Maybe he planned this fight so that it would give him a great reason to quit SI and have everyone just go to his new site which is coming on line in the immediate future? I am certainly not bitter in my help with the refugees and am continuing to help coordinate grants for TV-ERA. There is also nothing to be jealous about. I am just disappointed that I was used and our friendship was discarded in the manner which it was.
