Credibility does NOT come from the number of posts a member might have here. If that were true, then how could anyone even begin to explain Lucky and his 7,000+ posts?

RE: Fake, Fraud, Coward-Gap!

 

At least all 7,000+ posts were posted under the same username. I can't think of a better way to define credible, whether you enjoy Lucky or not.

PPPTTT PPPttt pppttt....

As the story runs out of gas, despite a welcome spark from FFF, the engine's died. Back to the blogosphere junkyard: bickering about fake posters and un-interesting jabs.....

 

 

And the world waits (OK, maybe me and a couple others) for the "New Benjamin" - 'light and refreshing' or a bigger dud than 'New Coke'? Stay tuned.....

So to follow that logic, if a hypothetical person posts 7,000 times it makes them credible even if all 7,000 posts were bold faced lies. It's the quanity not the quality.

 

I smell a size queen.

 

Enormously yours,

I did not say that Lucky was credible (and I suspect it would surprise him if I did), and I did not say that tonnage in posting equates to credibility.

 

Please refrain from putting words in my mouth.

[RockHard]

RE: Fake, Fraud, Coward-Gap!

 

Sorry, Fin, maybe my logic would have been clearer had I wrote:

 

"I can't think of a better way to define credible when compared to a double-posting jack-ass coward, with 20 posts, who foams at the mouth, writing the same shit, in the same voice he wrote ten usernames ago." Yes, in this instance, Lucky is more credible.

 

Beyond this comparison, it's up to the readers to decide.

 

Credibly yours, dear,

I disagree completely. An apology can be self-serving or sincere. A sincere apology should not carry unwarranted explanations (i.e. "I shouldn't have done it, but I was under time pressures."). I have a friend whose alcoholic father did terrible things to him when the father was drunk. The father's apology went along the lines of "I don't remember what I did because I was so drunk, but if I did bad things, I apologize for them." My friend doesn't accept this apology, nor would I were I in his shoes. A more acceptable apology would be: "What I did was completely inexcusable, and I'm ashamed of my past behavior. Please let me know what I can do to make up for it, if that's at all possible. In any case, I now see what a bad person I was, and will try my hardest never to repeat my mistakes."

An "apology" which runs along the lines of "I'm sorry, but I did what I did because I was short on time" simply cannot be described as sincere. A more heartfelt apology would have read "What I did was wrong. It was not only lazy, but, worst of all, completely dishonest and unfair to those I wronged." A sincere apology should not carry "buts" (particularly when the "buts" do not in any way mitigate the actions).

RE: Banish Benjie's Reviews!

 

I've always found the number of reviews he's had suspicious. Since I found out about the plagiarism, I'm all the more convinced that he's written a great deal of them. However, there are enough reviews from well-known reviewers that I think that one can conclude he is a good lay. I don't trust the guy. However, if I were in San Antonio, I see no reason why I wouldn't hire the guy (assuming I could hire him for an hour--I would never spend $800 or whatever to hire him for an entire evening).

[+ Charlie]

I agree completely, but does that mean you want another apology, and if so, how will you know whether it is sincere or just saying what you have told him to say? I think most people have already decided whether or not they think he feels "heartfelt" remorse, and a new apology isn't likely to make much difference.

It's too late for another apology - he blew the first one.

 

Unicorn hit the nail on the head when he said:

 

"An "apology" which runs along the lines of 'I'm sorry, but I did what I did because I was short on time' simply cannot be described as sincere. A more heartfelt apology would have read 'What I did was wrong. It was not only lazy, but, worst of all, completely dishonest and unfair to those I wronged.' A sincere apology should not carry "buts" (particularly when the "buts" do not in any way mitigate the actions)."

 

Little Benjie (let me once again stress that this is not a veiled reference to the size of his penis) instead made the apology about himself and how he was a victim of his high standards.

 

It's deja vu all over again.

 

Repeatedly yours,

 

FFF

RE: Banish Benjie's Reviews!

 

I don't think you need to worry, Unicorn, BN will not likely be available for a call up appointment for an hour or any other length of time.

 

I know for a fact that his reviews are intended to promote a very good escort. Some are hyperbole and for the amusement of those so inclined, but some will never understand.:-)

 

Thanks for reading.

That's exactly the apology you owe soccerjock624. Your initial "advice" was untenable and, most importantly, NOT constructive. Shame.

RE: Acceptance

 

>What are you talking about?? Who's soccerjock624?

 

This is what someone horribly insecure about themselves would have the bad manners to say to someone under the (false) pretense of "helping":

 

"Sorry to chime in late (I just got back from vacation). I'm going to give some advice not related to public transportation, but on something you hinted on in a later post regarding your difficulty getting someone to hire you. I looked at your ad on the link you provided, then compared your prices to those of other escorts on the same website in LA. I'm not sure if you did such a comparison yourself, but your prices were not in line with those of escorts of a similar caliber. The few ads with prices at or higher than yours were from A-list escorts and/or those with close to flawless chiseled bods & faces.

While I need to say that you're cute and attractive, I would also suggest taking the time for a reading on the law of supply and demand. LA has a large supply of attractive escorts going for $200 or thereabouts (some even less). I'm suspecting you have an alternate source of income, and keep your prices high because you don't need the income from escorting that often.

If I were personally going through the LA ads, and I saw yours, I would stop (based on your nice looks), then, when I saw your price, move on to other ads. If your price were $200, however, I would write down your number and attempt to make a contact. Again, I don't mean to imply you're not attractive, but you're just not a "10" or someone people have been fantasizing about for years because of your porn work."

 

And this is what someone would say, what you should have simply said in the beginning rather than trying to work out your issues, if he actually were trying to help:

 

"I seem to recall him saying that business was not good. I realize that personality has a lot to do with a good escort experience, but I do think that his business would much more than double if he lowered his fees by about a third."

 

That's all you had to say, not disparage his looks which are in fact better than anyone else working in LA now. Show me someone working in LA better looking than soccerjock624? That was just rude.

[Jeff]

I murdered someone. I'm sorry.

 

Okay, let's move on!

 

Yeah, he didn't exactly murder anyone... but that doesn't mean his excuse-ridden apology means that he isn't a piece of crap. He's pretty much shown us what he is - maybe in 10 years he'll be different but he can't change from being a piece of crap overnight.

Fin Fang Foom googled

 

Uncle Fin, I (finally)googled you and came up with your profile. You live up to it!

 

Powers/Abilities: Fin Fang Foom possesses powers that are either natural to his race, or at least naturally attainable. He can fly at subsonic speeds using the wings on his back. He also possesses the shape-changing abilities of his fellow Kakaranatharans. Fin Fang Foom can expel an acid mist resembling fire from his mouth in powerful blasts. He has an extraordinarily long lifespan, and can communicate telepathically. He has Superhuman Class 100 strength. Fin Fang Foom also possesses a mastery over a fighting style similar to human martial arts. After he was reduced to human size, he lost most of these abilities due to post-hypnotic possession, though anger could still cause him to emit his acid mist.
