Was going to say quiet on this matter as didn't want to clog up the forum but obviously have to respond:
I did not 'spam' Markus. I emailed a company he's affiliated to or works for (not sure which) through a generic email account on their site (the only one available), simply exploring a conversation. I didnt even know he worked for them until his accusations made me research further. The president of said company (Markus' boss) responded over the weekend with a nice email and thanking me for getting in touch. We're making plans to speak over skype this week. Does that sound like spam? I don't sell 'surveys' of any fashion. I do deliver specific training for young people, youth professionals and corporates - yes, for a price. It's how I pay the rent. My intention was NEVER to use this group as an avenue to 'mine' or to sell to. I joined to gain some insights about vodcasting which I have now developed. Simple as. Maybe the confusion arose with my email signature highlighting my courses - will make sure I don't have it visible if I ever post again. As for not taking comments on my blog - check out the 'about' section. Full reasons given plus there's a phone number and email contact on my site. Obvious transparency if you were to click or ask... Feel very sad about this whole matter and to have these untruths leveled at me. Hopefully I have cleared my name but how frustrating ad upsetting to even have to...
