This definitely belongs here IMO. Apologies to Will if it's in the wrong place. But...
So, I accidentally debated with a (what should I call him... a guru of sorts? I won't confirm nor deny who).
But, I was merely trying to have a civil conversation with this person and it turned into him puffing up his ego and "schooling me" about how the industry ACTUALLY operates (That's the way he'd likely see it, taking me to CLASS). Interesting, WHY you takin' it there, bro? You expect I should kiss your ass because you run ____? NOT gonna happen. You ever ask a reasonable question of someone and they get their feathers ruffled (due to their enormous ego "KNOW YOUR PLACE!") and from there on they talk down to you? THAT!
A thought occurred to me while I was debating this idiot:
1) This dude has NEVER written ANYTHING that's fukkin SOLD. Not once ever in his life, yet he conceders himself an EXPERT? WHAT???
2) This dude has NEVER made a DEAL for someone else (that I'm aware of) in his life. EVER! Yet he's an EXPERT? WHAT???
I may be an idiot, but I've done both. That's merely a fact.
He's developed. THAT'S IT!
Furthermore, during this "debate" that I somehow fell into, he made various claims (I won't say what they were) but they were both FALSE and RUDE (personal attacks, bruh, stick to the subject matter). Status quo for this industry, eh? The way he was speaking to me was as if he's some exalted genius of the industry, all pompous and arrogant. So, of course I took a screenshoot of an email (protecting the innocent by not giving away key intel) and called him out on his bullsh!t. Here you go dude, there's proof. Guess what he does next. You guessed it... he's GHOSTS me. POOF gone. Fukkin pu$$y.
I realize there's not enough info to form an opinion on this situation, I wish I could be more candid so the entire story was revealed for discussion sake. But...
POINT: There are people in this town who have never ***DONE IT***. Who are supposed "gate keepers" who feel fukkin obliged to treat those of us who HAVE done it (at least sold something... MY GOD... at least fukkin bare minimum WROTE something) like sh!t. These idiots have ZERO clue about the brutality of actually having to sit down and break a STORY then WRITE the fukkin thing. ZERO! These idiots behind their glossy desks want us to pretend that THEY are the reason movies and TV gets made, and them alone. Excuse me? No! It's the writers. Period! You fukkin fool.
I don't care what everyone else thinks of this dude, he'll forever be a friggin kook in my book. I don't need sh!t from him, and never will (starting to figure out who this idiot is? Cool, but don't say). So, his option on the industry means zilch to me. If I make a claim I can always back it with paperwork, that's how he fukked up. And I told him "Bro, you're digging a hole." Poof gone. Once I had him "In Check" he checked out of the convo like a class-A b!tch.
And if he reads this and can figure out I'm talking about him (Bruh, go fukk yourself... You're ripping people off.)
POINT #2: We, as writers, cannot allow these types of sleazy people to get in our heads, nor in our way. They've literally done NOTHING of VALUE for our industry. I say "our" industry because movies nor TV happens without writers. Period! They are absolutely fukking NOTHING without us!
If you can figure out who I'm talking about, please don't say his name. Not relevant.
Happy Wednesday!

Gucci *smooch* LOL
ps.... man, I'm so close to getting kicked out of this industry (Ha!), but these frauds are on my last nerve, so Im'a say so.
