I really don't have too much to add here that hasn't been said already, but I do need to defend the anti-imposters theme that has surfaced here. I was a victim myself of an imposter in the chat room. Now, perhaps to some that's no big deal....but for me it was extremely disturbing. This person was acting as me, answering questions on my behalf, and made arrangements with people I did not even know. Thankfully I came into the chat room and caught them in the act, and thanks to a little pet nickname Myriads blessed me with when I first started chatting in the chat room, he was able to distinguish the imposter from the real me, and hence, the imposter got booted before they could do any more damage. But it is quite frightening when you are the one being impersonated....whether on the net, or not. I take imposters on the net, every bit as seriously as I do in r/l. Many of us use the net to expand our real life experiences and friendships, so there is no reason WHY it should not be taken seriously.
As for being a genius...my only comment on that is a genius would not spend half as much time with their foot in their mouth.🙄
I have seen many good points made on this thread. I first wish to thank Yaqi for starting this thread, and relating his experience to us. He did not have to, but he did for our own interests sake. Thank you Yaqi, for taking the time to do so. I commend Jeff for having the decency to offer to pull a video from the market, should one of his models request him to do so. They did sign a release/contract, giving you the rights to film and sell their video, but out of respect for their future image, you still laid out the offer to pull it, if so desired. Kudos to you, Jeff. And I also agree with points made by Wallstreet (I'm agreeing with Wallstreet?! Quick, someone feel my forehead! Hehehe, just kidding, WS 😀 ). These girls KNOW what they are getting into when they sign that release/contract. They watch the TV every day and can see the ramifications that can be involved with such a decision. Yet they still chose to make that decision. We've all had to deal with mistakes we've made in the past...and you can't just cry out "Disappear", and expect them to do so. It's one of life's lessons we are taught at an early age.
Okay, I think I am done rambling, all the while contributing nothing...lol
