[QUOTE="thoughtgypsy, post: 921077, member: 571"] Rollo's tone in that article sounds off compared to the content he's put out prior. He's written a lot of great material, and has helped men for years before attempting to monetize anything. I wonder if he's going through some personal issues, and is using his platform to vent. It's natural for men to disagree, but to unjustly disparage is completely uncalled for. His mischaracterization of the events in the past week reek of animosity and show the same level of gas lighting he bemoans of the 'journalists' he speaks of. As an amateur student of marketing, I get the impression that Rollo's choice of language shows an intent to attack, not inform. Rollo is a marketing guru and he knows what he's doing. If he disagreed with his approach, he should have been much more even handed. Of course there will be disagreements and we should avoid groupthink whenever possible. But we don't need to air out all our dirty laundry in public and pile on a man when he's going through rough times. I'm getting sick and tired of the in fighting in the red pill. We've got enough enemies to worry about as it is. First the threats against Spandrell, now the character assassination of Roosh from Rollo and Xsplat. Ironically Xsplat also just lambasted Rollo. At times, including recently, I have been guilty of stepping over the line and I know how difficult it can be to reign in the urge. Especially when your soap box gets bigger. But there's no need to turn against each other and incite factionalism. If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. Vox and Milo can put their differences aside and find common ground, we should too. If you're a patron of Rollo's work, and you've felt he's been unfair, I encourage you to reach out to him and let your thoughts be known. I'll be doing that shortly. [/QUOTE]
