Wow.

A couple weeks ago I interviewed a guy about an award he's in the running for with the Domainer's Choice Awards. It was a fun story to write, even if domaining is rather like Chinese for me. But what isn't fun is going to check out whether or not there are comments and seeing that someone is bringing up the part where apparently the guy was in the blotter at some point for possession.

People make mistakes and learn from them. People shouldn't always be judged by the things they've done in the past or the mistakes that they have made. If they did, I probably wouldn't have the job I have today nor would I have made it to college and been with Food Lion for so long.

But to judge them on a public forum and remind them, and everyone else, of the mistakes that person has made in the past... I never thought I would have seen it.

Today's story

I'm not sure what a domainer is, nor a blotter (is it jail?) But this is really a postive, uplifting story. I hope people/kids read this kind of thing and were motivated by it.
If they can be motivated to do evil from Metalica or Marylin Manson or even Stephen the King, they can be imposed upon to be inspired by this.
