> John T. Bone [pictured] posts on www.johntbone.com: I sat with Blaine for 18 minutes this morning. In that time he cut me a check for the money Damaged cheated me out of, not a big one, more of an olive branch than a windfall, and assured me that the website with my content on it was coming down.

We discussed today’s article on Gene’s site singling out his partner Steve as the root of all evil. When I asked Blaine his opinion he sighed deeply and said “He doesn’t fuck up every week”

On reflection, every problem I have had with Damaged has been something dishonest that Steve has done, every time I have brought it to his attention he has promised to do something about it and then just blown it off, and every time it has been Blaine who has resolved the problem with me.

I am willing to accept that Steve has made mistakes more through ineptitude and carelessness than malicious deceit but he is a huge cross for a honest businessman to bear.

You are a good guy Blaine but maybe it is time to reassess who you trust with your reputation.
