The sub forum of the Warrior Forum which houses the biggest egos is probably the Copywriting forum.
And it contains some of the biggest bullshitters and piss artists too.
People like Rick Duris, Mal Lambe, and Mark Pescetti.
I'd bet a penny to a pound of shit that these guys don't have a pot to piss in as a result of "writing copy".
Real copywriters don't spend their time on a bloody internet marketing forum, trying to flog $7 ebooks/reports like Rick Duris.
Or spend their time being as odiously offensive as "The Copy Nazi" aka Mal Lambe. This clown plays the "hard man" with gratuitously offensive comments to draw attention to himself.
Yet his website TheCopyNazi.com has hit the skids and is abandoned.
What we are left with is the most appropriately named WallyWorld.
Yes, this big swinging copywriter dick has made his literary mark with WallyWorld and hie EzineArticles account which contains such delightful "copy" as "How to Design and Make Your Own Poker Chips" and "Top Position in Google Means Heaps of Traffic" (no shit Sherlock?).
This is the clown who claims to have 30 years copywriting experience.
And who claims to command at least $2,500 per job.
The problem is a simple one: the Copy Nazi is a fantasist whose self delusion is even more tediously irritating than some of the others because he is such a distasteful prick.
Rick Duris’s problem is also a simple one. He can’t spell.
Now I don’t know about you but in my book a copywriter who can’t spell can’t really call himself a copywriter. Or at least can’t do so with any credibility.
I know because I got his recent $7 report. It’s full of typos and misspellings.
And I read his interfering and unjustified “defence” of Seth Czerepak’s book on Amazon.com when some guy, who actually bought the book, criticised it and felt he was mislead.
What’s most nasty and disgusting about these self appointed copywriters though is the way they use a herd mentality to try to maintain a facade of success. So anyone like the member “split test” who asks sceptical and legitimate questions is quickly dumped upon and told where his place is.
Those guys don’t want people asking understandable questions.
Because they can’t afford to have the truth emerge.
That they are engaged in one big circle jerk of mutual masturbation on a daily basis on an internet marketing forum.
Rather than actually working and writing copy.
I won't debate with an anonymous Typepad poster but if you want to contact me I'd be pleased to give you chapter and verse on my career, my work and my earnings. The extent of your "discovery" has only been a Google search by the looks of it. "Fantasist" huh? Well let's see about that. Would you care to have a wager on it? Oh yeah - FYI - I still own thecopynazi.com - got sick of posting and paying the hosting. At one stage I had over 100 blogs - all SEOed - hence the 5 year old abandoned Ezine account and the mostly abandoned Wallyworld blog - which goes back to 2005 and once hit 500k Unique Visitors in a month. You'd be lucky to get 500 visitors a month here, wouldn't you? Funny how you find me "such a distasteful prick". I find you rather sad...filling in your days with a free Typepad blog - making like you're SaltyDroid. Nothing better to do with your life? So anyway Braveheart... tell me who you are and I'll show you who I work for and what they pay me...and some of the gigs I've done. But then...if you'd really done your homework you'd know that already - I don't hide the fact.

I’ve no intention of debating with you either.
In fact, if you were on fire I’m not sure I’d even relieve myself on you.
Unlike you, I’m too busy.
You had 100 blogs? No shit. That’s some achievement for a “top copywriter”.
Look, we both know this: if you were busy (at anything) you wouldn’t be spending your days in the Warrior Forum.
And to make matters worse, being crass, ignorant, and insulting simply to get some cheap attention.
And jumping in with your “reviews” to try pick up Mickey Mouse writing jobs.
Do you really think I give a rat’s ass how many people visit this blog and read this?
If even one person reads it and recognizes that you and your fellow “copywriting pros” are simply wannabe poseurs and fantasists spending their days on an internet marketing message board hoping to pick up chump change, I’ll be happy enough.

"Top copywriter" - where do I make that claim?
I don't "spend my days in the Warrior Forum". I drop in from time to time. Yes I know Duris claims in his $7 ebook that I pick up work by "reviewing " (as you call it) people's copy posted on the forum. I've publicly stated on that forum that it's not the case...in fact I'm annoyed that he even mentioned me. I get the occasional dreamer or newbie wanting something for nothing... and falling over in shock when I tell them what I charge ($2500 is at the low end).
As for "crass, ignorant and insulting" - that's pretty funny - after I read what you write about me. Ever thought of checking facts? Gee perhaps you could be wrong about a few things?
Pity you're such an asshole - there's plenty of real "dirt" I could dish on a lot of those WF posters. Especially the ones that claim to have worked with Halbert (that's a whole industry in itself).
Ernest Hemingway III - fuck me. Highly original. Jesus what a dope you are. What is your day-job anyway? Flipping burgers at Chuck E Cheeze or something?
Oh yeah...before I forget. I notice you tout for Lisa Parmley. I wrote for her a few years back. And there you are flogging her course with your cunningly-disguised affiliate link - WHICH IS BROKEN. For fucks sake.
But all that aside...you are a good writer - albeit you seemed to have borrowed your style from TheSaltyDroid (and what a fucking piece of shit that guy is). Just a pity you can't do proper research and get the facts right. What you've written about me is straight out defamatory. But you know - never let the facts get in the way of a good (blog) story.
