My latest book is also free on the site, but you'll have to dig for it. HINT: it's similar in title to my username here.
It's called "29 Reasons Not To Be A Nice Guy."
Note the copyright on the book: 1999 (April 1, 1999 I believe).
This was the first time the term PIVOT was used. Prior to that it had been called "Friendly Fox" in my previous work (Outfoxing The Foxes).
It also captures, in fictitious post format, the flavor of the original ASF newsgroup in 1998-1999, before the commercial forces took over the "community," moved it to censored web environments, and the audience never questioned the wisdom of buying stuff from websites that did not allow free speech. USENET was not good for these people, because they couldn't exclude/silence competitors, or silence dissent. I was doing fine in this environment.
Too fine, as it turns out. Guys who bought my $30.00 books were getting laidk, and suddenly didn't need high-priced bootcamps or seminars.
Fast forward to today, and Big Media took over, stole most of the content, and the status-addicted GAMMA males in the "community" gravitate to them like an HB to an abusive jerk. Very telling.
Telling the audience to open its mind again would be futile, since the forum censors will "protect them from themselves" and not even expose them to such "trolling." How sad.
