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."

AVN 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.
