I think some here are used to
You're not alone and I could sure name a few. I've noticed they're usually the same types that rip escorts for things they can't control like age or appearance.
Some people are just naturally assholes and that's about all you can say.

Matt Rife will perform near me on September 2d. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. So why does StubHub have so many seats for sale to this event already?
A decent seat is around $400 on StubHub. That's what I would pay him for sex.

Whereas I agree with the OP in the desire to have a friendly message board, I have the idea that new posters should learn the site, and learn to do research. As a long-time contributor, I have seen the same old questions being asked again and again because the new poster didn't know how to research the issue. The site is a wealth of information.
We are also seeing a decline in the IQ level of many posts, something I lament because over the years we have had some strong discussions here,

Greetings folks...
As you might have noticed, this site has been offline since around mid-day Tuesday. Our prior hosting provider decided that they are unable to continue hosting our website and had ended service to us. Unfortunately they did not provide any notification to me about this decision and I was forced to move the site to a new server without any sort of heads up. This includes arranging for the new hosting company, configuring the new server to meet the technical requirements, getting a copy of our current data, restoring that data (over 300GB of files), recovering the database (over 18.5 million records in that database taking up 11GB of space for the DB alone), and reconfiguring the software itself to run in the new environment.
While migrating there was also some technical issues that I ran into that required me to coordinate with Invision's technical support team. So that back and forth added additional time to the mix as well.
And to pile on further… all of this occurred while I'm traveling for my day job. So I've been doing this while in a hotel in between doing my day job on the road.
There are most likely several other things that will need to be fixed still and I'm working through them. For example, email may only be partially working. I still need to setup things like SPF and DKIM for the new server so our emails don't flag as spam. There are other settings that might need to be redone to work in the new server as well that I'm not thinking about yet. (As you might have imagined, I've not had much sleep during this whole process.)
But anyway... you get the idea. No... we're not going anywhere! This was a minor setback but we'll continue to move forward. Thank you all for your understanding and support!
Rob

This has been a major issue with every message board I have ever participated in, including incredibly niche ones where one would expect everyone to not just be nice but agree with each other… it’s par for the course.

A straight friend from 20 years ago made many trips to Costa Rica, he told me there was a great variety of females available for hire. I don't know about men for hire.

One thing that I only indirectly mentioned in my posts is that my lawyer recommends that a will name not only an executor, but an alternate if the executor named in the will is unable to execute it at the time of your death. In my case, I was lucky that my brother-in-law's daughter knows the full situation and was willing to be named in the will as alternate executor if her father can't perform the necessary duties when I die. The alternate should know how to access the same information that the primary executor needs to have.

Anyone conisidering taking over the Palm Springs Weekend needs to know two things;
1) It is a lot of work.
2) @Oliver has created some huge footsteps to fill. We are grateful for the way he expanded the Weekend and made it such a success.

+ Lucky got a reaction from Hen in Benson Boone
https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/2025/06/20/benson-boone-american-heart-review/
In pop music, the danger of making yourself memorable is that you must eventually transcend people’s memories. For Benson Boone, that means proving he’s more than a singing mustache who does backflips.
On his new album, “American Heart,” he tries and tries. These are over-sung pop songs designed to flatter the world with their unyielding sense of effort, resulting in something fizzy, dizzying, occasionally fun and fundamentally shrewd. Before we even get to Boone’s voice, it’s helpful to know there’s such a sharp mind behind that moisturized mustache — a mind that knew quitting “American Idol” in 2021 would make him appear more interesting than actually winning; a mind that knew it could send ripples across social media every time he performed a flip in concert because no one in this wide world — in all its untamed imagination — had ever bothered to visualize Tom Selleck fronting Bad Brains.
Boone’s voice is made of elastic and caramel, and he uses it to generate muscly whimpers that sound deeply studied in the acrobatics of Bruno Mars, the roguishness of Olivia Rodrigo and the sogginess of Hozier. Toss some Freddie Mercurial pomp onto the mood board, add a spritz of perspiration from an ’80s aerobics class, then shred everything into itty-bits of rainbow confetti and you’re pretty much there. It’s a voice that refuses to be moderated or confined, which means it sounds absolutely terrific whenever Boone rubs a lyric against the laws of alchemy or metaphysics. During the glammy thump of “Wanted Man,” he huffs and puffs in the direction of a dancing woman made of “liquid gold.” On “Mystical Magical” — a hit single that brings Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” down to mall-walking tempo — he serves a melting melody in playful falsetto, describing his love as “moonbeam ice cream.” Fabulous. Two scoops, please.
Wait, hold on a second, what does “moonbeam ice cream” even mean? Oh, nothing at all, according to Boone during a recent interview with the equally pointless Jimmy Fallon. Same goes for Boone’s album title and its closing track, “Young American Heart.” It’s a power ballad about “living in some crazy times,” and how death might not be that bad so long as the love and friendship felt good. In the refrain, Boone roars, “If I’m gonna die a young American, and this was the final night we’d ever have again, I’d be just fine as long as I’m wherever you are.” Please forgive the fellow survivors of said crazy times for craving something more than complete meaninglessness, here — a disappointment that only deepens once you’ve seen this album’s cover: an image of Boone draping the American flag over his beautifully dirty, sunburned torso. He looks as if he’s been rolling around in Pennzoil and Rao’s marinara, and for what?
All of this messy vapidity makes “Momma Song” the album’s standout. It’s an uncharacteristically solemn orchestral number that forces Boone to imagine a future tragedy worthy of his throat’s dexterity. In the refrain, the singer invites his mom on a trip down memory lane, asking her to recount her old loves, her old haunts, her favorite songs — because, “I’m gonna need this when I’m holding pictures of you and that’s all that I’ve got left.” In this tender, confused, bravura moment, Boone’s failure to hack his music’s fundamental problem ends up being the best reason to keep listening: His life has yet to grow into his voice.
