    Won’t influence me one bit — it merely validates my already seriously negative experience with him.

    i also notice that the people that win always tweet hours before the winner is announced of and/or tweets at him hours before he announces it, and i have been following these contest for 2years

    People some times do change. I believe in forgiving others IF they truly have changed and have genuine remorse.  I had a brief encounter with this person in the summer of 2003 or 2004. He was a total jerk.  He’s one that I won’t bother with, regardless of his grandiose claims. 

    Never until today thought about doing criminal background checks on photography workshop leaders. Now I will.
