		<description>Leesa,
Are you sure the guy knew what he was doing?
Especially for a newbie sometime you just mimic what you think you ought to do, without a deep understanding of the next step/outcome.
You are free to decline and tell him buzz off if you think the association might be risky for you... and pestering was certainly not a good start.</description>

		<description>Oak and Mark, you both assumed that I posted to my blog BEFORE speaking to this person. Don't make assumptions.</description>

		<description>Hi Leesa,

If I were him I might feel a little bit bad and embarassed after reading this post. Why would you feel the need to make the issue public, even if you didn't mention his name? If he obviously visits your blog, why make him an example? I think it could have been handled with a simple direct email to him, saying "No thanks. I have a strict policy."</description>

		<description>I think he should have talked to you about it before he mentioned you on his blog. I always like being up front. It keeps things simple.</description>
