A Start to a Bad Week
Those who know me would know that I do not go round cheating anyone or indulge in any illegal activities but for some reasons this week, I got accussed of just that.
First, it came from a person whom I sold a website to as I have been clearing my server out as I was doing some internal reshuffling. In any case, to make the story short, the site got hacked a few days after he got the site into his system. Prior to that, the site when it was in my possession was sitting nicely without any incident of any abuse. He accused me of conspiring with others in the forum to launch an attack against him. He did hinted that he had a lot of enemies and I am really not part of that. I’ve seen him around the forum but never crossed path. I mean what do I have to gain by attacking him. I have always been honest with my business dealings and at times, I would go out of my way to help beyond what I am obligated to do so.
Second, came yesterday when I got an email from Google Adsense which claims that I abused their system by using auto-surfing tools and getting people and myself to click the advertisements on my sites. I did not do such thing, I read Terms and Conditions and I have always defended contracts that I’ve signed and been a party to. I asked Google to give me at least some indications of which sites were causing the problem but they say they cannot provide me with any information. Like how am I supposed to go about handling the issue if they do not want to tell me what they are ? Anyways, I decided it was best to just remove all the Google Ads from my websites. They were not paying any good and they it seems to be more trouble than it is. I started web sites because I believe in the contents, the ads are just there to fill in the gaps and maybe pay a little for maintaining the sites. I have also taken the step to terminate my advertisement through Google.
I can take criticisms but one thing I cannot stand is being accussed for something I have not done. I have only one life, one path to lead and in the end, I am answerable to God Almighty. I do have a conscience and if I wrong anyone, I will do everything in my power to right the wrong. I am not sure what is happening to this world, it just disappoints. I guess being honest and being the nice guy probably doesn’t cut it in today’s dog-eat-dog world.
Whatever happens, I know that God will judge the accusers and they will need to answer to HIM. It is not my place to judge, all I can do is move on. Life is too short to bother about such things.
