Luke: "I don't know what AVN's policy should be about accepting
gifts and fraternization."
DCypher: "I think that whatever happened with Kami and Ivan and
Heidi, it is very unfortunate that this is being made public.
"I don't see how it is any more appropriate for me to go to Peter
Warren's birthday party where half the people I know in the business
were there.
"We invited Pete to Vegas with us. He just didn't want to go that
weekend.
"Heidi doesn't live like a kingpin, like someone with buckets of
money. She seems devoted to her job. She's a good friend. She's not the
type of person who gives out good reviews to friends. Most people at AVN
don't operate that way.
"I know how you love to salaciously spin things. There's no positive
light that is going to come out on lukeisback.
"I put in a lot of work on my movies and now this is going to come
out and people are going to think that I bribe AVN to get good reviews.
If it was that simple, everybody at Metro would have good reviews."

journalist Peter Warren blogs June 15, 2006:
One of life's hard truths is that some people are gonna like you and
some people ain't. All you can do is be the best person you can, and
befriend those who enjoy having you around.
That's how I try to lead my existence in the world, and it's served
me pretty well, I think. Except, that is, in the mysterious and exceedingly
vitriolic case of one Chloe Bannion [not her real name, but I won't
stoop to disclosing such]. Chloe was one of my fellow editors at AVN
for around six months or so, and I recently came to be informed that
for nearly that entire time, she was posting invective-filled hate blogs
about me here on MySpace, for what reason I may never know.
For the life of me, I cannot think of one single reason why this girl
held, and continues to hold, evidently, such bristling enmity toward
me...nor can anyone else I've discussed it with. But since she has made
her profile private, I can't even so much as email her mano a womano
about this. Hence, writing a blog of my own seemed to be my only possible
recourse.
Now, I've taken plenty of abuse online, and withstood it just fine.
But that's been by anonymous strangers, and THIS is somebody I WORKED
with, saw every day, shared mutual acquaintances with. And one of those
acquaintances (who shall remain nameless) unwittingly tipped me off
to this stream of hate-spewing.
The problem, you see, is not really that I can't deal with her hating
me, but that these things she wrote about me, whatever they were, got
enough public exposure to find their way back to me, which leaves unknown
the number of people who may have seen them before she made them private,
and worse - as they did come from a coworker - means they constituted
defamation of character.
And there's more. Earlier this week, I was interviewed in the AVN offices
by a British TV crew in what, all signs would indicate, was some sort
of a Punk'd-esque segment (whose humor I'd say was sorry at best), and
based on the headline of Chloe's lastest blog entry (see below), I have
most concrete grounds to suspect she was in on it somehow. So what's
her beef? Why is she so obsessed with trashing me? Like I said, I may
never know. But I do have some of her lovely blog headlines to share
with you, both on the topic of me, and on that of how much she despised
this job. So draw your own conclusions, folks, and enjoy:

Chloe was this cute tattooed chick who I thought was loved by everybody
at AVN. She was not thrilled to be writing on porn, I suspect, and was
happier to get a job in the Spring of 2006 writing for a mainstream publication.
Chloe Bannion responds to Peter Warren:
You are not very pleasant to work with, and i am not the only one who
feels that way. in fact, i truly can't think of one person who worked
there who EVER had anything nice to say about you. i'm sure people hated
me there, too, but not EVERYBODY, and unlike you, i really don't give
a s---. I have heard from several people that in YEARS, you never gave
them the time of day and only bother to say hello or even do more than
smirk at passersby only when you need something.
But I talked s--- about a lot of people there, but gradually you more
than anyone else. why? i'm not even going to get into the embarassment
i suffered as an avn staffer over your insufferable fanboy behavior
and icky horny writing style, but i really didn't appreciate having
f---ing 12 of your review movies dumped on me at the last minute one
month. remember that? Probably not, but yeah, 12 out of a grand total
of 15 that you were too lazy to do that month. As you can see from my
blog titles, i did not enjoy the porn as you did, and for you to --THREE
months in a row --dump a s---load of porn on my desk AFTER the due dates
so i had to rush through them without so much as an apology or thank
you --not one -- did not endear you to me at all. here's 12 more f---ing
pornos to watch, i'm going on vacation, f--- you! That's you. Thanks.
So after a few months of that, ramone decided to cut your review load
down to what was it, 12 a month because you were too incompetent and
lazy to do them? So then i got to do nearly 25 of those f---ing things
that you couldn't be bothered to do, presumably too busy arguing on
the phone over interminable porn tard drama and trying to talk cytheria
through how to make a peanut butter sandwich.
Taryn Thomas posts:
What is with this CRAZY chick? One may ask... I cents some jealously
here, may that be the case, or maybe did Peter not except your date
offer. Or are you just u upset that Peter is a better person and journalist
than you... Fact of the matter at hand is that this is childish and
needs to come to an end. Peter is a great guy and knows his s---! SO
BITCH BACK OFF!!!
Joanna Angel posts:
Peter is one of the few genuinely nice people I've met in this industry.
Almost too nice, to the point where people take advantage of his kindness.
I don't know why you guys are ganging up on him, it seems really unfair.
Pardon me for being such a hippi, but I don't like seeing my friends
so upset.
