This won't start off seeming to make sense, but I pray it will in the end. 
Letting the National Enquirer publish its nonsensical and sometimes scurrilous trash is the only way to ensure the New York Times can give us "all the news that's fit to print." Thomas Jefferson said, "Our freedom depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost."
While more directed to press freedom, the jump to freedom of speech is not a long one. If one of us loses the ability here to speak his mind as he sees fit, that same restriction then threatens each and all.
No, this is not the public square, it is a private forum, and greater decorum might be more desirable, but -to my mind at least- not at the cost of honesty and candor, and even when it means suffering the bad manners of miscreants and bullies in our midst. Their intemperate speech simply lets us identify who and what they truly are. But be not wounded by their vitriol, nor pay them any heed, lest they come to think you care about their opinions.
It is not a question of growing a tougher skin, but one of both acknowledging a shared right and of properly weighing its value in our marketplace of ideas and opinions. And without free speech how would we know who the stupid ones are?

Just wanted to say I missed this site when it was down.  Grateful to @RadioRob for his tireless efforts in keeping this place going and helping clients make informed decisions on providers.  And, of course, all of you for your contributions.  Go team!

I don't know ASL but I understand that sign language command and the proper response.

Also goes by JestwinkX JestwinkXx and JestwinkXXX
and has at least 12 profiles on Company of men
more red flags than a Beijing patriot parade

Saw his ad some time ago and quickly concluded this provider was not for me. Liked the pics showing him in adventurous settings and activities but overall appeared a bit swishy and strongly suggestive of a drama queen; not my cup of tea.
So, when I noticed that this thread had gotten so much attention and participation I had to ask, What's all the buzz about this boy? 
Havig now read it all, asked and answered. Jeez! What a hot mess!

Electricity, cable, internet - these are a few of the modern things we take for granted in this world as it has become. And these are things we miss the most when they go away and that we fail too often to remember how complex is their operation and maintenance and the armies of dedicated linemen, technicians, engineers and others who make them work, day after day, and who bring them back to us when they occasionally falter.
Now add to the list - The Company of Men.
And we have Radio Bob! A man who does all of this to keep this site going as a kind of sideline to his day job, and whom I also think does so as a labor of love.
And so, now add Radio Bob to that list of heroes who make our world make sense and who restore to us those modern marvels we daily depend on and take for granted until their absence makes us notice.
Thank you, Radio Bob, for your service and dedication to this community. You are a gift to all of us!

Now might be a good time to consider making a contribution to the site if you have not done so previously. We all depend on this site so much for our daily routines.
