Since Jessica Merriman wants to comment behind a facebook profile block about me let me post and respond to her concerns here..
Quote"Susan's reply to her members over the scandal of being the highest donor in a gaming site.
Made me nauseated. Did not even deny she spent donations to the gaming site. Her attitude in the reply shows someone with no moral compass. She BEGS for donations to keep the trans site open while spending thousands of those donations in online gaming. How anyone can keep funding her frivolous life style is beyond me.
People you are being taken by this con person!!!!!!"
1. It's was not a secret, nor was it a scandal.
2. Let me again state for the record, how i spent my portion of the monthly goal is my business. As long as the site's bills are paid and they have been for 20 years now that is and will remain my private business.
3. I am #4 on the list not #1.
4. My donations were over 4 years, it's not like I am giving hundreds or thounsands of dollars a week.
The average donation has been $10.00-$20.00 once a week, some weeks I have done more. Since the parent post was made, I donated another $20.00 to cover this week. My donations average less than $1.00 an hour spent watching, hell I wish people would donate $1.00 per hour they spend on my web site, I would be rich!
Con artist statementI am a con person, am I Jessica? Well this con artist paid 17 years of bills for the site out of her own pocket and didn't ask for a dime from the members during that entire time.
Only in the last 3 years have I asked for donations, only in the last year and a half have I personally drawn any money out of the site.
$200,000 (Minimum spent over 20 years) - $31,200 (18 months @400 a week) = $168,000 in the hole. Not to mention that I spend 60-100 hours or more a week working on the site. At the federal minimum wage that should equal $503-$725 a week, So I am down $100-$325 a week as it stands, which technically should be added to my total. I should also be entitled to more than the minimum wage right?
We can hire a web site administrator lets see $63,766-$87,913 that's $1,226-$1,690 a week. Then we need a server administrator another job I do $41,971 - $89,407 a year, Database Administrator $59,100 - $103,500, Community manager $31,149 - $73,118, Editor $29,447 - $81,296. Since I have 20 years experience in each of those jobs I would be at the top of the pay scales, so lets see; I should technically be making $8,369.88 a week. I am saving the members $414,434.00 a year, and you are bitching about $1,600 a month.
Then you have the fact that many months I don't even get my full $1,600 as was the case from December to May.
I am hardly a con artist.
As long as we continue to meet the very reasonable monthly goal No one is, or will be required to contribute to the site.
QuoteQuoteWe are currently looking for people who love to write and are willing to contribute articles for the front page of Susan's Place! It is a great way to build a portfolio, resume, and a following, especially if you are looking to do work a writing field. If you are interested send a private forum message or email to Susan.
OMG. Will you do real work for free? Really, it looks good on your resume... Really.
Yep sure does I covered a local writers conference for many years, and one of the things the professional agents they brought in told told the attendees being a contributing writing for a local news site or blog is exactly what I stated it was, Susan's place is a much better place to write for than any local web site. We are one of the largest GLBT sites, and the largest Trans site.
And yet based on your previous post about my donations to the gaming site referenced herein, you expect me to work for free since everything is my spending site donations.
To ensure that you are not bothered by my requests for support going forward Jessica you are banned from this site. I have also turned off your pm notifications so you won't receive the support requests that way either.
