You are right. I crossed that line. I regret k having done do

Brutus, I am truly sorry. I was wrong. If anyone thinks I have not apologized for this mistake, I will repeat it. I still have a lot to learn. I'm sorry!

TakeitDeep, I've listened, I'm listening, and will continue to listen and learn. I have NOT been editing each response as much as I would if I were doing this for purely academic purposes. If you think my syntax sounds smug, I take that to heart too. (Note to self, rewrite any section that seems smug.) I'm trying to do my best. I'm sorry.

Baron, The thread is about a man supposedly named Rene. The post you are referring to is another post about an apparent scammer named George. These are totally different.

Cruiser, That's exactly what I did last week. Hired by a first time client, the trust was extended both ways for a 5 day booking, and we all met our commitments perfectly. I'll add that with this first meeting excellent rapport was established. What may be a frightening prospect, can end up quite well. And it did.

Cruiser, I stand by my apology, I didn't over think it. It felt like the right thing to do. It was pure of motive - I am sorry. I hear anger in your post, and maybe even a bit of 'beating a dead horse.' Okay, I'll accept a few extra slaps if you must. However, I think that any justifiable indignation might be directed more constructively by offering your thoughts about how a scenario like the one we had here could have been handled differently. I'm trying to do the best I can. Any effort in that direction would be greatly appreciated. What do you think?

Builder, I recently spent 5 days with a client that I had never met. It went extremely well and we're already making plans to go on a second trip. I'm holding a Candlestick in hopes that you might change your mind:-) Bread crumbs

Yes, I'm there often. Send me a text or email through my RM ad.

Hey Naked, Check out this version:

Naked, You had me at conflate, and have me thinking about the Rolling Stones song. ”I rode a tank Held a general's rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank... Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay (Woo woo, who who)" I digress. But seriously, who wouldn't get steamed that they've added 'magical unicorns' to Lucky Charms? It's just wrong and somebody has to protest! Damn, now I'm conflating. Pass the Tums please.

Harey, I appreciate that, but wait... You don't follow me!?!? I've never!!!!

Golem, That's a scam, similar to numerous Nigerian scams that I've gotten before, and not the same person this thread is about. That number and post will remain, as others should be aware of it. If you wish, I can post the message he sent me. It is a completely different scenario. Notice that there is no picture. As far as "lovely" goes... I was not aiming for 'lovely'. But I'll take it provided you don't think it was Crate & Barrel or Pottery Barn 'lovely'. In that case, I have a boner to pick with you. Here it is (verbatim): +14156499870 - How are you doing today? My name is [potential client name removed by me] and i came across your ad on RentMen, i will like to be with you for a weekend. Please get back to me on my number 4156499870 with your rates and lets go from there. I await to hear back from you.Thank you +14156499870 - Good prize, not bad. i will like to spend the 2nd and 3rd of June with you in MIAMI as i have a business appointment through the weekend.I will also like to make and upfront payment which will be $500 to secure my spot and also your flight will be covered.

There have been others though who were incredibly clever, systematic, and persistent. Would you agree the post should stay? Do you think I should post the texts? Bread crumbs

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. A person who isn't able to be honest with himself is generally incapable of learning. I never want to be that kind of person. Here's how I see it: If one person was to call me a horse, I could say "Fuck you!" If two people were to call me a horse, I could say "Fuck you." But if three people called me a horse, I would have get a saddle. In other words, it was time for me to pony up and get a saddle.

I just posted a short clip on Twitter... It speaks for itself. Again, if any of you have any feedback for me, I'm all ears.

Kenny, You're correct. I made a very big mistake. Stay tuned. I'm mustering up for a response. Thanks for the feedback. -Max
