Robert,
I'm gonna throw a late 90's wrestling reference at you now - you are somewhat a Vince Russo of the card community. Russo was a brilliant booker behind the scenes at WWF but flopped big time a year or two later for WCW. Why? Because he didn't have anyone above him who could veto his decisions. Nobody filtered out the bad decisions.
I've seen some good ideas come from your mind over the years and from the few conversations we did have and the advice you asked for, I sense that you've been a Vince Russo without a boss if you excuse my comparison. If I understand you correctly you now have somebody who handles the money side and is involved in decisions, so perhaps you can live up to your ambitions now. You have a long road ahead of you before you've cleared your name in this industry completely, but I wish you all the best in doing so. (Then again, that's easy for me to say since I've never been affected negatively by any of your earlier projects except for what lead to us at E pulling the plug on our relationship with you.)
Make level-headed decisions for the long run and not quick solutions and you should be fine in the end.
(Yes, I have been waiting a long time to make a 90's wrestling reference. Finally, my time has come.)
