What difference would my bet make to your magazine? I must be missing something.
First honest thing you have said in a long time. You are missing it. The reality is as an owner and senior editor of the magazine your personal actions DO reflect on the magazine. People can't trust you (that is obvious) so why should they trust a company who trusts you. Either the company is equally illreputable or has horrible judgement. That has to factor in to the decision to do business (subscriptions, advertising, partnerships).
Our company was considering advertising but we won't not until you are off the payroll. Simply too much of a risk. Your personality and low moral standards are a business risk. You are the senior editor. Can we trust your judgement not to defame our company in the event your personal feeling get hurt? Can we trust the magazine to take a deposit for advertising over the next 6 months and then just walk away?
The magazine is more than just you but while you remain a part of it you are dead weight and a liability.
