We’ve often quoted Mike Mann’s achievements in the domaining field – the truth is that this multi-faceted entrepreneur knows how to manage publicity quite effectively.
Already a domainer icon, Mike Mann’s ability to turn negative remarks and situations into positive structures that sustain his fame and image is unparalleled.
Once again, Mike Mann is a pioneer in the methodology of protesting about his paternal rights!
Let’s take for example Mike’s handling of his personal matters; his ongoing struggle to enforce and retain paternal rights has been met with “shock and awe” by both his friends and colleagues but also by the opposing side of his uphill legal battle.
Mike’s latest method is ingenious: notifying the general public about the injustice served by his ex wife, using street signs held by picketers.
On top of that, Mike Mann’s appreciation of the DomainGang articles can be viewed in his official Facebook list about himself and his business – DomainGang is in the top three sources of information about this pioneer domain businessman!
Everybody loves Mike!!!
and as the pictures suggests, Mike is putting people to work while jobs are scarce..
I am at a loss to grasp why you would hail Mike Mann as some kind of rock star entrepreneurial pacesetter for publicly humiliating himself and his family, and inviting a libel/slander lawsuit that could — and likely will — eventually wipe him out. As those once closest to him would affirm, he is a megalomaniac, hellbent on self-destruction. This kind of reinforcement only feeds his mania, further emboldens him to behave irrationally and hastens his inevitable downfall.
Your idolatry is misplaced. Fete Mike’s business accomplishments if you will. But hailing him for the public smear campaign which is likely to cost him everything he holds dear is like pouring gasoline on a burning monk. He is perfectly capable of self-destructing without your help.
BullS – I believe most domainers do love Mike Mann, he’s an example of success in the field and beyond that.
Michael – Not to mention, he pays them well.
Scott – That’s up to Mike to manage and control; the overall sentiment seems to be that some people have no problem sharing parts of their private life in public. Not everyone has the “balls” to do that and to judge Mike’s professional side based on the particulars of his private life that have been publicized is unfair, in my opinion.
Dude, you must live on another planet.
“Sharing” and defamation are not synonymous.
And it doesn’t take “balls” to publicly defame the mother of the child he alleges to love as “BullDykeLynn”. It takes reckless stupidity, selfish immaturity, uncontrollable rage, an utter lack of courage and character, disrespect for his daughter and a spiraling case of megalomania so out of control that it begs tragedy.
It doesn’t take “balls” to pander for misplaced public empathy and attaboys as some kind of victim, when the hateful, incendiary content of his rantings make it pretty clear who the REAL victims are. It takes hate and vitriol. He thrives on being a martyr, disguised as a leader.
If the groupies, sycophants and pathetic hangers-on who feed his mania on Facebook knew the people who were once Mann’s closest colleagues, employees, friends and confidants, they would also know that all but one want nothing to do with him anymore. ALL characterize him as cruel, abusive and intolerable, which mirrors the nature of his rantings on Facebook.
This isn’t theater, Lucius. This is a human being unwinding in public, in a warped, desperate, take-no-prisoners quest for public validation. Anyone who feeds this mania is exploiting his madness out of selfishness or stupidity, and stoking the fires of tragedy. I beg you to stop.
Scott – I live on the same planet with you and Mike Mann. Unless you have some direct interest from Mike’s statements and actions regarding his personal battles, I suggest that you save judgment for his business activity. The way you or anyone else perceives his openness with regards to personal matters can be easily misconstrued. If you don’t like Mike Mann for one reason or another, that’s just your personal opinion. Simply because he does things in a way different from you or I, does not mean he is in the wrong. And if actions have consequences, I am sure he already knows that and manages it well. That’s the whole point of the article.
Precisely, Lucius. In your own words, “Unless YOU have some direct interest from Mike’s statements and actions regarding his personal battles, I suggest that you save judgment for his BUSINESS activity.”
Couldn’t have said it better.
Scott – Mike Mann reads DomainGang so I am sure he will review your points of view – personal or otherwise – and place them under consideration.
Then again, he might be too busy to care about what you think of his personal life or how he manages it.
I am with Scott 100%!!!! Everything Scott has said is true and anyone who condones this type of behavior is clueless, stupid or just a Mike Mann sycophant. And the thing is, Mann brought this all upon himself. It’s like watching a 5 year old having a meltdown. Let him respond and say he uses his real name and everybody who doesn’t is a scammer or a coward or jealous of him. The fact is, he is a complete embarrassment to anyone who has crossed his path both professionally and in his private life. He is not a victim in all of this, he is just a very angry person who will eventually end up self-destructing and I don’t know of many people who would care if he did.
what happen to mike mann on facebook…he was there and then he was gone??? How could this happen. I am missing him!
HE GOT BANNED!!!!!!! You see, when you post so much crap about other people that isn’t true, it’s called cyberbullying. He tried posting another profile, but Facebook took that down too. Good riddance! I think enough people got sick and tired of hearing him attack people (especially his ex-wife) using his bully pulpit (Facebook). Also, get a life, Bonnie. You don’t even know him and you agree and sympathize with everything he says. Too bad you don’t know what he is really like or you wouldn’t be such a sycophant!
Its amazing how people prove my theories on Greed Fear and Envy every day, http://AppliedEvolution.com/ (notes on my new book on this subject). The haters all got fired by me for gross incompetence or tried to steal from me, or are friends of those who did, they all ate crap in the process and now cry about me anonymously online, use your names for once scared pansies, I already know who you are anyhow.
