I just received an email from John Reese wherein he explains more about how he got involved, what he knew and, more importantly, what he didn't know at the time he sent the email and so on.
Basically he took full responsibility for the fact that he sent the email and promoted the 'marketing event'. Apologized profusely to not only the folks on his list but, especially to the women marketers who were 'excluded' and so on.
The newsletter/apology was eye-opening in many ways. Thought you'd like to know that he will be going to the event simply because he gave his word to be there and several folks are anticipating meeting him there etc.
I've known John for some time now and, frankly, I believe him ultimately. It takes a big man (or woman for that matter) to publicly admit when they've screwed up big time and, for that, I admire him even if his previous exemplary behavior didn't point that fact out to us unless we were paying close attention.
Apology accepted, big man. As One far greater than I once said: "Let ye who are without sin, cast the first stone".
My own saying: "When I am perfect, the rest of the world better shape up!"
