Tom, 

Since no moderator has stopped this and waiting to see, I have decided I'll briefly respond, though after hearing what you wrote about at Radio Free Ironbear, I was expecting you here at some point. I am starting to think  after 5 years of this; it must be love. I already know writing this it will neither stop you nor deter you. However..

My contractor salary at Daz was $100,000  to match the annual amount I made as a broker the year before (2002- $200,000 brokered product sales gross), which was much appreciated and is non-confidential being proprietary to me only being I have been self employed for over 15 years.. I also insisted on sellling  back my 2% stock options for another cool bag of cash.

In the end, after one year of brokering, one year of self employed contracting,  I left Daz with a quarter of a million dollars. Not bad for 2 years. Now I don't know how much you were paid before you "left" but for the record..

The reasons I left and such are all here in the forums in my own words so I see no reason to rehash it. I have been invited back there many times. The last and most recent reinvite to Broker was in March of 2005. In all cases I said no for various reasons. In the end there are things in life more important than money.

My year long adventure when I returned earned me another $100,000 between Apollo sales and contracts. I am nothing but grateful and appeciative of my supported and of Poser. What I dont appreciate is almost 10 years of having to deal with people with self esteem issues and unhealthy obsessions or those who allude to knowing me.

Despite whatever you think you know or choose to allude been told, it is really irrelevant. For 5 years I have asked you to sever this unhealthy obsession you seen to have with me and what you think you know about me and my career.

This "past" of mine I keep reading about is what? Doing Tutorials? Helping people? Standing up for friends? lol Having standards and ethics? Giving back to the community? But again, irrelevant.

I have unsuccessfully tried to reason with you and even have Renderosity intervene without lasting effect. I would again respectfully ask you to focus on Tom and Tom's personal affairs and not Anton's.

I know you have been through a lot with your divorce and such, but perhaps it is time for you to consider why you can't help posting about me and in regards to me, though we only ever met once for a half an hour and had no real conversation.

I think your motive is insecurity. Perhaps inadequacy. Probably lack of role and identity. I have no real explaination for these posts you make constantly searching for a reaction. You hopefully will mature out of it as you grow older. Either way. I hope to not have to have this discussion a 14th time next year.

I have nothing else to say on the topic Tom. Go watch a movie and enjoy the Spring.

Cheers and regards,
Anton
