Duke Floored Resigns From Adultbeat

Should it be any surprise that the organization that lied about two girls in porn were HIV positive when we only know of one so far, and strongly implied that the second girl HIV Positive was Dynasty, when she is negative, has done it again?
Today AVN.com, with the advice of attorney Paul Cambria, falsely accused me of a felony.
Paul Fishbein called up my boss Lensman today and reemed him over said article below. My boss pulled it. I got home from the AIM conference, found out what happened, and immediately resigned from adultbeat.
AVN reporter Scott Ross was talking to Rob Spallone on Monday, April 19. Rob had him on speaker. There were a dozen people in the room listening to that conversation. Scott did not want it published. So what? I made no agreement with Scott to keep it off the record.
Nobody said off the record to me. It is none of my responsibility if someone tries to negotiate off the record with other parties. And for something to be off the record, I have to agree. It takes two parties to make a contract.
If somebody says "off the record" to me, and I agree, then I stand by that implied contract. I had no contract with Scott Ross. I owe him nothing in this respect.
Scott Ross knew he was taking part in a public conversation, a conversation on speakerphone with numerous people, such as Mike Davis, Bill Margold and others shouting into the speakerphone.
There is no illegality involved in my taping this massive conversation because there were at least a dozen people in the room and many of them were talking into the phone with Rob and the reporter. You can check with any attorney on this. It is illegal to record a phone conversation only if the person has the expectation of privacy. There were numerous people talking into the speaker phone. Scott Ross knew he was on speakerphone and he knew it was not private.
It just shows once again that Tim Connelly, Paul Fishbein and AVN are a bunch of losers and whiners. Paul could've been a man about things and called me if he had a problem with what was going on. And then, if he felt he was not treated fairly, he could've honorably gone to my boss.
