Betrayed the cause. Betrayed the community. Betrayed friends.

Over the last week YOU have aired our differences on DD. YOU have done so in a subtle and sneaky way. YOU chose this format. Because I fired YOU is why you have attacked me for a week and wrote diaries that conatined completly false and misleading information.

I said nothing over this last week of your lies, deceptions and attacks. Now you are taking MY ideas and vision and trying to get the community to help you build a site based on my thoughts and ideas. I can not stay quiet any more and the community NEEDS to know the truth.

NLOB, about a month ago you came to me when you read my essays intended to help the troops and veterans. You said they were excellent essays and you offered free services to design a web site. You said you were doing so because you could see I truly had good intentions and you wanted to be a part of it. You originally envisioned the site as strictly a military site.

I had a different vision, ideas, plans, concept, site layout, color scheme, a site in the format of a newspaper, all left & military sites in one place with humor and entertainment. Something unique and completely different on the web. MY vision was to unite the citizens of the left with the troops/military. MY vision became sanchopress.com .

I in fact, offered you a contract for a portion of the business and future proceeds of sanchopress.com which you did not want. You did not want to have to answer to anyone. This allowed you to attempt to control the direction of the project. How foolish of me. You truly do get what you pay for.

Ten days into the project we had a difference of opinion and I let you go. You had worked on the site for about ten days completely with my direction which you sometimes followed and often didn’t.

NLOB, after I let you go, the first time I held my tongue was when you posted two essays that COMPLETELY misrepresented the truth about your role in sanchopress.com, who originated the ideas, concepts, thoughts, format, layout, color scheme and more. EVERYTHING IDEA AND CONCEPT FOR SANCHOPRESS WAS MINE. We were never 50/50. You were supposed to program my ideas, concepts and visions, that was it.

PROGRESSIVES—-IF YOU BELIEVE NLOB HAS SUPPORTED THE CAUSE, THE COMMUNITY AND ME, YOU SHOULD READ THE LINKS. READ ALL AND YOU DECIDE IF HE BETRAYED THE CAUSE, BETRAYED THE COMMUNITY AND BETRAYED ME.

NLOB, I advised you that MY GOAL AND VISION IS TO UNITE THE CITIZENS OF THE LEFT WITH THE TROOPS/MILITARY. IT WAS AND IS MY PRIMARY GOAL ON SANCHOPRESS.COM . Also, to have a one stop shop of all left blogs, military blogs, charitable organizations websites and more in a newspaper format. I wanted an entertainment section that was enjoyable and humorous and fun. The Troops/veterans are in dire need of help. They are on the fence regarding their history of voting republican.

Troops/veterans are beginning to see the right for what they truly are. Helping the troops/veterans would be doing the correct thing that the left is known for, helping those in need. We could also possibly pull them off the fence. The 2.5 million members of the military, their families and the immense numbers of vets and this total surely comes to at least 10 million possibly pulled over to the democrats. A wonderful WIN/WIN situation with immense potential to help the lives of OUR MEN AND WOMEN OF THE MILITARY AND THE VETERANS. As a veteran I speak to many troops and vets and know how appalling their circumstances are.

The first comment you made on your newest essay is below.

*[new] the overall goal (4.00 / 2)

for this project will be to have a home page that gathers many liberal sources into one readable, enjoyable, package.

SOUND FAMILIAR?!?!?! SOUND Quite similiar to the ideas I proposed for sanchopress.com?

NLOB, you were the programmer on MY website. That was your primary role. You TRIED to do what I directed (sometimes).

After your false essays, for the second time I again said nothing when you attempted to bait me into disagreements on DD with your SIX argumentative comments (inappropriate) on one of my essays.

https://www.docudharma.com/show…

I stayed quiet a third time when you made an attempt to defame me with a comment on another one of my essays.

https://www.docudharma.com/show…

On that attacking comment you were told by Buhdy himself;

Let it go buddy (4.00 / 1)

If you guys want to feud, take it to e-mail.

Please.

and your response to Buhdy was

Fine (2.50 / 2)

best of luck to the both of you

may you both prosper off of my efforts

The same type comment you made to me in an open forum (inappropriate & done several times) on sanchopress.com indicating you were quitting over an issue about copyright infringement of an article from the AP that I posted on sancho.press which I should not have done and I now know this (that night without my approval you did more work after resigning?).

Instead of using email or telephone you decided to try to make me look bad in an open forum on sanchopress.com over this copyright infringement. Was this a coincidence that this came immediately after I emailed you indicating I was not happy with your work?

Because you chose that open forum, I chose to put my foot down and told you it was my problem as owner of the domain and payer of the server. It was inappropriate to berate the owner in an open forum. I suspect it was because you wanted to get back at me for emailing you about my unhappiness with your work. Your response was

Then your on your own

.

Similiar to the one you made to Buhdy and I noted above. You told others you had to do this to stand up to me or I wouldn’t respect you. Your feelings and reasoning made you betray the cause and stop helping troops and veterans who are in a terrible situation.

You subsequently returned during that night without my asking or authorizing and did work contrary to my prior stated desires. On DD you have quit in anger and spite and ego and then returned.

I chose to let you go due to your failure to follow my instructions. Very similar (by your admission) to what happened with you and the Cindy Sheehan camp and also the John Kerry campaign. Apparently, you have difficulty with many in the cause.

One time when I commented about your past issues working with others within the cause, you listed seven prior business relationships that ended poorly and for each one you blamed the management and other members of the cause. I guess I am now number eight.

I tried every possible management, business & professional mode to work with you. You refused to be directed, follow instructions, cooperate or carry out my vision. You refused to recognize my position as owner of the domain and payer of the server. You clearly do not want anyone to tell you what to do even regarding their vision, ideas, concepts and thoughts.

After I let you go, out of spite, you deleted all the programming for the links to many sites supporting the cause. Links to military sites. Links explaining my vision to the members. Links to DD and many more progressive sites. You removed the logo that you had given to me. All betraying the cause. All because you were angry and hurt. YOU took priority over the cause and helping wounded troops with PTSD, TBI, mental health problems, divorce, spousal abuse, child abuse, homelessness, inadequate medical care, GWS and are committing suicide at the rate of 18 per day. How selfish, self absorbed, egomaniacal and narcissistic

When we were establishing sanchopress.com with all my content, ideas, format, layout, color scheme, EVERYTHING THAT WERE MY IDEAS AND VISION and we were choosing a server, you recommended soapblox instead of the wind and solar powered server I preferred. You said the wind and solar powered server was too difficult for you to work with even though I wanted it. YOU recommended we use soapblox. I purchased the domain and setup soablox as my server (as you recommended) and paid both.

Now in this essay you are bragging about using the wind and solar powered server. Because the server was too difficult when it was MY site you didn’t want to use it. Now you are using it to look good with the community and design a site almost identical to the one with MY IDEAS, called sanchopress.com. https://www.docudharma.com/show…

After your angry outburst mentioned above, then you decided to return to work with me without even talking to me. Overnite you performed work before we had even spoke about continuing to work together. In fact, the work you did was even contrary to my prior instructions. The next day you received my email asking “what are you doing” and stating that I didn’t like what you had done. You emailed me and told me to stop micromanaging and stop emailing so much. That is when I called you and said it was not going to work.

I terminated you by phone (appropriate method) and simply said, I didn’t think things were going to work out because you didn’t like my management style.

I released you from your duties at sancho.press. You had a tirade and hung up the phone on me. Immediately after, I called you three times and each time you picked up and just hung up.

I truly wished to end things amicably, maturely and like men, so I called a fourth time. You chose to pick up the fourth time, you answered long enough to attack me, make false accusations, excuses and hang up on me again.

I was going to leave it at that. You have chosen to make DD and DKos a forum to vent your hurt ego and betray the cause and the community and me. Now you are proposing to design a site nearly identical to sanchopress.com. You are even asking the community for help with those areas you are unable to do yourself. It is beneath low and slimy and sleazy.

NLOB, I attempted to work with you. I told you that you would become a paid Master Web Designer of sanchopress.com as soon as we made money. I advised you this because you had been working for free for 10 days. I sent you an email trying to pump you up and told you to keep your spirits up as you were getting frustrated with what you could not do that I was asking. You were having difficulty with soapblox. In that email, I told you that you would be paid as soon as sanchopress.com made money. I said in essence you would be a Vice President of sanchopress.com and paid before I was to be paid anything. Although, a made it clear that I was investigating the possibility of having a website audit carried out by a professional team. You can learn more here.

My PRIMARY goal was ALWAYS to unite citizens of the left with the troops/veterans who are in such a horrendous situation and it will ALWAYS be my PRIMARY goal. I had been attempting it with essays on blogs for several months before my idea for sanchopress.com and anyone who wants to check my essays here on DD and on Dkos (TKK) can verify this.

As I advised you, my business plan was to pay the front pagers and graphic designer in addition to you and anyone else who made a primary contribution to sanchopress.com.

I bought you professional business cards and other items used in the course of a normal business. Sanchopress.com is a normal business setup and since a site such as sanchopress.com (like DD and Dkos) will have income from paid advertisements when it is successful, my plan is to handle it like a corporation with paid employees. That is NOT betraying the cause or making money the priority. It is simply making a logical plan for future income, corporate structure and employee compensation.

I feel your work was mediocre and you were temperamental and uncooperative. I chose to part ways in a professional manner. You have chosen to attack, take credit for things not due you and to take the time of many within the cause because of a bruised ego.

I have a new web designer now. I spent quite some time watching video after video online about what to expect from my web designer, and I finally found a good one to hire. Unfortunately, she will not be able to start full time work on sanchopress.com immediately, as she has a REAL WEB DESIGNER BUSINESS with 87 clients around the world. I don’t believe she will steal ideas, visions, concepts, intellectual content or betray the cause. BTW, she looked at your work and said what you did in about 80hrs, she could have done in 8-10hrs.

In one of your essays you listed not emailing web designers too much as a “rule” for owners of web sites. That the owner should consolidate all into one and send it to the web designer. You said this about me even knowing my TBI (like many vets) and memory issues necessitate my immediately emailing my ideas so not to lose these thoughts.

My new web designer stated as all professional and paid designers do, “you can not email me too much, it is best way to get as much information as possible to properly carry out your vision, I will consolidate them together and weed out duplication”.

There are many different reasons a person who is supposedly a talented web designer does it for free. I have heard of web designers who work for free that are NOT because they are altruistic or want to help the cause. Sometimes web designers do it for free because they are unable to work with ANYONE. It could be that they have less talent than they say they have. Some have no choice but to work for free and only do it for their ego. Could it be that they want to appear to be helping the cause?

Because of anger, you not only attack me but you take MY ideas and propose to use some of them on your new site. You are even soliciting members of the community to help. SHAMELESS. Attempting to involve others in the community to participate in your EVIL, VINDICTIVE and COVERT plan is a true betrayal of the cause and the community.

YOU betray the cause out of anger and spite. YOU betray the cause because of a hurt ego. YOU betray the cause because of personal reasons. Sometimes you quit and run away from projects helping the cause (another betrayal) and this time you were terminated and you just can’t handle that.

This essay is a word to the wise for the community. I am a professional business person, with a unique idea and concept with which I wanted to spread any future income received by sanchopress.com to the web designer, the front pagers, a graphic designer and others while IN STEP WITH THE CAUSE. I want to use my 20+ years of successful marketing/sales/management skills to help our troops, veterans, the left, the nation.

Any claim I have made here can be backed up.

I am being attacked, antagonized and having MY VISION, IDEAS AND CONCEPTS proposed to the community by a little, little man who is not inventive enough or intelligent enough to come up with his own unique ideas and concepts, so he has to take others.

Buhdy, I am sorry. I could not keep quiet any more. I took the high road prior to this final issue. I was the bigger man for as long as I could be. I acted with dignity and professionalism. Sorry, but airing our issues in a public forum was bad enough but taking my ideas, concepts, visions, can not be tolerated and ALL the community needs to know.

  1. Hopefully Nlob will respond in this essay and get to rebutt whatever he wants. Then you will both have had your say.

    But this ends here.

    Docudharma is not involved in this feud and I am NOT going to let it become a battleground for dueling personalities. I don’t care who is right or wrong or who did what to who….this has nothing to do with this blog, so if you guys want to fight ….do it somewhere else.

    Any future essays that deal explicitly with your fights about another blog WILL be deleted. That goes for both of you.

  2. really, Tom said I was a partner, 50/50, I worked very hard only to have him erase all of my work, I asked him to stop micromanaging while I did what a webmaster does…build the site, he could not do that, his ego got in the way.

    “EVERYTHING WAS MINE.”

    Which is fine, the web is filled with egos.  I can choose who I work with and what I do.  No contracts were signed between Tom and I, which I am now very thankful for.

    I apologize to the community for bringing dirty laundry on to the site but felt others needed to be warned before getting involved.

    As far as stealing concepts as Tigana has now implied I have done with my own site, well Tigana you can look through my posts on DailyKos to see how many times I have tried to put together a Progressive News source before.  Perhaps this will rest your mind.

  3. Out of respect to BD, I won’t do it, but you keep this shit up and someone will. Ive seen this on several sites now, and it gets saddier the further the meta drills.

    Stop.

    Just stop.

    It’s already dead.

    Stop.

  4. I can never be accused of betraying la causa.  Democratic movements cannot be betrayed, of course, because true democracy allows for all the plurality of opinion that humans can possibly have.  That is one of my favorite things about it.

  5. you both tilted your first windmill!

    How does it feel!

    So as a recap, I had Dagger News up a year ago…and what’s dagger news?  A 24 hour news service.  Tom deleted my account before checking to see if he should have or not…and the two of you are blaming me for that.

    Take a bow!

  6. you both see my free personal site as a threat to your project even though my personal site does not have a blog, blog community, or any intentions of making money.

  7. If you follow my posts on blogs around the internets you will see that I did not stop helping Veterans just because you and I had some issues.  But continue to poison people against me due to perceived wrongs.  I am sure, as I have said before, that pacified will help you to correct any issues you are having with your site. Make a list and email him a single email with all of the corrections requested.  Not 25 emails and 15 phone calls.  As that tends to make people a little cranky.

    Good Luck!
