Dr. Mani,

I understand the “childlike” metaphor picture you are trying to paint, but I’m SHOCKED that you would personally aim it at John in this manner.

First of all, the title of this post. You are no dummy, and I’m sure you know that blogs like this are quickly indexed in Google. And you also know that not everyone is going to take the time to read your entire post, nor understand the message you are trying to convey.

From many perspectives it’s going to surely look like you are attacking John, even though you refer to him as your friend.

In my world, friends don’t publicly try to use others names to voice their negative opinions to the masses. Especially in the blog post title like you did.

I’ve always thought of you as a really nice dude. But this post really seems like you are kicking John square in the nuts.

Last time I checked, I’ve never had a friend make a post like that about me on the internet.

And considering you mentioned that he’s was the largest donor to your charity, I’m absolutely puzzled why you’d slander the dude like this after seeing the low brow techniques applied by others in the last few days.

Why would you want to hop on this train too?

It’s seriously baffling to me.

I think John has a right to defend himself from these type of attacks, even if it appears childish to you.

Is John a bit sensitive? Of course. That’s John.

But so are you when it comes to things you hold close to your heart. And John’s business is very much close to his heart, and you should know that he doesn’t treat this like some soap opera or childlike board game.

If you knew how hard he was putting effort into the system he was building, maybe you’d have a clue why he is passionately defending himself against these wild accusations that are quite shotty in terms of “real truth”.

Just like you, John’s mission is to help people. Especially the little guy. He’s always gave tremendous help to people, operated his business in a very fair manner, and is incredibly passionate about what he does. But many people will look past all his good deeds and just focus on things like his Million Dollar Day, or lame blog posts like this or the Mashable one.

I really think this post is below the belt. You could of done it without mentioning names, but for some odd reason you felt it important to single out a dude who’s been very good to you.

I can’t understand why.

And personally, I don’t think any friend would do this to another friend. It’s just not cool in my book.

It just appears that you are trying to hijack or parlay on John’s name while the traffic is ripe for your own benefit.

Your post has some decent points. But to aim them directly at John really makes me have a bit of a different opinion of you.

And if you knew the tons of hours, money, and effort John was putting into his Income.com site you’d quickly understand why he is quick to defend himself. I think just about anyone would.

So in closing, I think you’re blog post is quite unfair, in horrible taste, and seems very ungrateful.

That’s just how it looks on this end.

I was sincerely SHOCKED to see you had wrote this. And in a way, sort of saddened to.

Here’s hoping you take the high road instead of perpetuating the gossip and trash talking that people love so much.

And in the end, I think you know that people love to read this type of stuff, and you should be smart enough to know this is a total cheap shot, especially coming from you.

Take care,

Jason Moffatt

Thanks for dropping by, Jason, and for your comment. Your views on what friends do differs from mine. Most of the rest agrees with the core issue of my post.

You said: “I think John has a right to defend himself from these type of attacks…”

I hope you’ve read this follow up blog post where he admitted to his mistake of rushing to respond, and for letting negativity creep into his rebuttal.

Like I said, “Defending your turf is imperative. Being seen to do it in a responsible, mature, respectful manner is even more so.

The rest of your response is about personal perspective, and I respect yours even if I don’t completely agree with it.

All success
Dr.Mani
