People need to wake up to Shankman’s bullying.

He HATES criticism and makes veiled and not so veiled threats.

He’ll ban you from HARO from criticism.

He’ll wise-guy you, like the above (which is completely inappropriate).

Try to start a competitor to HARO. The nasty e-mails, threats etc only get worse.

This guy is a fraud, pure and simple. He puts this “happy, smiley, Karma” crap up front, but is a complete jerk behind the scenes.

There are MANY people with stories just like these, and I’m glad a brave few are willing to speak up. Plain and simple, Peter abuses his power and has such a stranglehold over the industry that 99.99999% of people are scared to speak ANY criticism against him.

As noted, he’ll call his “henchman” and friends (some on payroll) to bombard critics with nasty and unprofessional e-mails and comments.

This guy has his head up his ass and a lot of lips stuck to his butt cheeks.

And yes I’m bitter and pissed, but ONLY because I know the charade he puts on, and am angry that other people don’t know (the above excluded and a few other brave few).

Anti-social networking in Las Vegas. Your time would be far better spent dropping some quarters and swilling Stoli.

Great piece, Jim.

Here’s the thing: I bet you were absolutely right about the rumors. Shankman’s long-suffering friends probably got liquored up and told him exactly what they thought of him, all the while using you as a scapegoat.

“…and then he called you a pompous twitter and a pasty-faced weasel. That’s right, a pasty-faced weasel. Those were Jon’s exact words. What? Right, I meant Jim, the Moorethink guy, whatever. Another cocktail?”

A truly brilliant piece, Jim. frankly, all these people running around “trying” to use social media, and heaping praise on people who do it disappoint me. Here’s to you for bucking the trend. you can be a lemming or you can be a leader. I’m glad you’re a leader.

Jim, if it makes you feel any better, I have 3 people following me on Twitter. Dang, I’m such a loser.
