I have stated many times that ELI isn't a charity service anymore. ELI has to be a self-sustaining business interest for Oscar and I. We don't have to get rich but ELI cannot be a deficit. Oscar, BuddhaPi, and I have a current understanding of how the current ELI model works and stays in existence. I still put in an inordinate amount of time compared to what is paid into ELI.
Having said that, Glen Carner is hanging out with us picking our brains doing the PR thing on the ELI Forums getting all kinds of visibility and huge value. Not to mention, his letter victims come here for help only to see Glen Carner chatting it up with the ELI Defense Team and the ELI Community. It is a weird picture to envision.
Thus far, it has been somewhat entertaining for us to read his posts. However, we were curious as to what he had to say so we let him run with it. However, I am sure it is a little bit more serious for him because of the thorn ELI has been to him. I can promise you that as entertaining as he has been, his ELI involvement is very self-serving. He gains far more benefit than ELI does.
It occurs to me he is burning up my time and jumping into our community and getting all kinds of "free" benefits. For the normal letter recipient, I don't have a problem chiming away but I don't care for the idea of Glen coming here using tapping into the ELI Community Mindshare and the ELI Marketing machine for his personal and business benefit.
Given that, I am going to pose the question to Glen to see how much of a monthly ELI Contribution he will make to hang out here. If the answer is too low, Glen's time on the ELI Forums comes to a very sudden end. I may even delete his existing messages. I normally would not delete other people's messages but his case is very different.
At this time, Glen "owes" ELI nothing but his time of hanging with us on the ELI dime is over. Glen has been here nearly daily so I know he will see this message. If he "conveniently" ignores this message, his ELI account will be terminated.
If Glen agrees to make a "reasonable" monthly ELI Contribution to support ELI as other contributors have done, he can hang with us on a very conditional basis. I will be ruthless in the collections and watching his activities. I will have no hesitation to kill his account and all his PR posts. He will still have to follow the rules. We will always have the right to end his involvement at any time.
Some of the ELI Community members may object to this but Oscar and I have been very open of how we started, grew, evolve, and why we are still around. And given that I consider ELI a valuable resource, for someone like Glen to have free reign to hang out here on ELI for free with the very people he/HAN has extorted from without him paying any price rubs me the wrong way and it will stop.
I have conferred with BuddhaPi and Oscar on my decision and intent and they understand my position on the matter.
If Glen pays a reasonable monthly amount to ELI, he stays. If not, his time is over. No more free rides for Glen when we have other extortion letter recipients having to pay for ELI resources. It is simply twisted to make letter recipients pay to help support ELI and Glen Carner and his ilk get a free ride.
It isn't going to happen any longer on my watch. Glen, it is time to pay up to ELI as your victims have had to do or you need to say your goodbyes today.
