RUSH: So how many people at the outset, when you say RushIsRight, how many people knew who you were even modeling the character after?
CALLER: I would say online many, because even though you're getting accolades now and free help now, when in trouble, when I first started, and again, this was 2006-ish, the attacks, verbal attacks were just brutal. You can challenge another player do a duel online, you have to go to a special zone where you can fight to the death. You were constantly getting challenged. And again, insulted, made fun of, et cetera. But since then things have really turned around, and now I'll ask to donate to people when they give me things and they say, "No, no, it's on me, Rush."
