An Open letter

[Guest Sean]

LAST EDITED ON Jul-19-00 AT 07:21PM (EST)[p]I have been aware for some time now that certain individuals on this board have been sending out private e-mails to other members of this board trashing me, advising others not to hire me, and advising other escorts not to befriend me. It has been brought to my attention on many occasions that this has been going on behind my back. First, I realize that some do not like me because I am successful, and I have an actual personality. But if you have anything legitimate to say about me, you shouldn't be afraid to say it out in the open. The fact that those who are trashing me behind my back and doing so out of public view just proves that they are being deliberately malicious, and one shouldn't believe what they say. Although if you choose to believe it there is nothing I can really do about it. Hooboy has met me in person and can vouch that I am indeed a nice guy, I'm well spoken, well dressed and can actually carry on an intelligent conversation. To those of you who believe the reviews posted on the review section were written by me I can assure you that they were indeed not. I was merely defending myself against a malicious review that was written by another Escort. I asked several of my regular clients to come to my defense and they did so graciously.

[Guest Tampa Yankee]

Well, Sean's post has been up 6 hours with 95 views and no one has seen fit to comment on this matter. I was hoping that someone other than myself would weigh in on this (because Sean and I have engaged in several 'chatty repartees' on this board and I'm sure there are plenty out there with the opinion that I am not unbiased regarding Sean, and maybe I'm not...) but it seems that no one is stepping up to this -- so since nature abhors a vacuum, as do I, here goes.

 

First, a disclaimer -- I've interacted with Sean solely on this board in public, much to the chagrin of many of you, no doubt -- so you know the depth and breadth of our relationship (if you can call it that) if you read the posts. There is nothing more between us to know. I provide this information so that you may decide for yourself what ax, if any, I have to grind here.

 

Sean may be many things: self assured, brash, outspoken, even arrogant, among other probably more endearing attributes, but I don't believe he is a liar -- it doesn't fit with these other traits, so I start with the premise that the situation as Sean describes it is accurate.

 

Now, I have had my differences with Sean in public on these boards and continue to have differences and I understand that Sean has differences with possibly much of the western world, but one of the things I respect about Sean is that he is frank and honest, I believe. The style of his plain speaking may irritate some (OK many ) but you know what he thinks by what he says -- I respect that. This is not a defense of Sean because he is more that adequate to conduct his own defense (before he is hanged). It is meant to give a little insight into my assessment of Sean's credibility and into the fact that because of Sean's style he gets more than a few noses out of joint. So be it.

 

Sometimes Sean deserves to be taken to task on these boards, in my view, and several (including myself) have stepped up to do it. That is the way to confront Sean, or anyone else for that matter, if you have a legitimate difference to air then air it. Sean is a tough adversary and won't roll over but he is far from invincible -- make your points.

 

Whispering campaigns invariably are insidious attempts to discredit someone through lies, half-truths, and deceit, otherwise what is the necessity for the whispering? Sean is no tyrant with the power of life and death over us should we speak our mind, he can't cost us our livelihood or even our happiness. So what is there to be concerned about by confronting him with legitimate issues, or even a personal diatribe if you just can't help yourself. I have no idea who is behind or participating in this campaign and I don't really care to know but, in my view, this says much more about their character than it does about Sean's.

[Guest NYCMuscBoy]

As someone fairly new to these message boards, it seems to me like Sean really really really needs some drama in his life, and will get it wherever possible. And on this board he has found a willing audience who will write alarmingly long and thoughtful posts about his plight.

 

Who really CARES, Sean? Is your entire clientele based on this board? How are they able to email these supposed missives about you back and forth when most people don't know each other's email addresses?

 

Okay, sorry, I'll shut up for the moment.

[Guest Sean]

Tampa, I appreciate your comments and look forward to further debates and discussions with you in the future. Muscleboy, I don't seek drama, it seeks me and I'm constantly put in the position of defending myself and I'm getting rather tired of it. As far as any plight, my only "plight" is to out the son of a bitch(s) that are constantly trying to undermine my business. As far as e-mail address's look under User profiles. Many list their e-mail address's and well uh DUH! And no, this board is not the main source of my clientele. My own personal web page is, This board and review center is a source of future clients though.

[Guest minstrel]

I agree with you Sean, I don't believe in going behind people's backs - so I'll give it to you straight:

 

I generally find your posts to be obnoxious, arrogant, overbearing and self-congratulatory.

 

This is my first and last post to (and about) you.

 

m.

[Guest keywest]

Stop sniveling, Sean. You're becoming increasingly paranoid.

[Guest NYCMuscBoy]

You do far more damage to yourself than anyone else could possibly do.

 

If I were looking to hire, I'd see your appealing, well-done, and simple website and be interested. But then, I'd find the endless posts about yourself and the mistreatment you constantly feel, and become suspicious -- suspicious enough to look elsewhere.

 

I mean, you've got to run your business better.

[Guest dandday]

Poor, poor, poor, Sean! Everyone out to ruin your business. Being new to this forum (only two weeks) I wondered about you and hooboy, all the reviews and now hooboy makes a special point of letting everyone know that you are in LA! at ONE OF THE THREE HOMES YOU OWN!!!!!! PLEASE, talk about promotion not to mention a brown nose!How can anyone believe a word of any of your reviews after that.

I dont know you, don't want to know you, don"t care about you. You are a spoiled little boy, evident not only by your post here, but by other posts on this site. Why don't you have another "hissy fit" and kick in one of your own speakers. Maybe you'll feel better. If not I know a great shrink in LA (I was married to him for 15 years) who may be able to get you over yourself.

I've said more than I ment to, as I'm sure ALL THIS ATTENTION is just feeding your ego more and more, but I will close you out of my thoughts with "WHERE THERE IS SMOKE........"

Idle Gossip

 

Sean hon, here is what I have to say:

 

"There is only one thing in the world worse about being talked about, and that is NOT being talked about"

 

- Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" 1891

 

Tampa says it well "...This is not a defense of Sean because he is more that adequate to conduct his own defense"

 

- Believe me, he is.

 

However, I will say this, Sean does not need to do this without valid reason. It therefore follows that malicious comments are indeed being made.

 

Just because he has this exterior of steel, does not mean the man is devoid of feelings. If I have beef to grind with any one, I will approach them directly rather than stab them in the back. That's what a true gentleman will do.

 

Sean, could be a handful, granted, but he is direct and honest and people who deal with him need to approach him in the same manner. He obviously must be doing some thing right, with the level of regulars/success he has. You may not always like what he has to say or his choice of words, but he is human; and like most humans, when shown warmth, courtesy and respect Sean, will respond in kind. I doubt seriously, if these "opinions" of him are from a first hand experience.

 

See his "open letter" for what it is. "Please talk to me directly, if I have offended you in any way". What could be more simple? why does his post have to be an excuse to throw more stones? If I were Sean, I would have made the same plea, but I WILL NOT loose sleep over it!

 

(Knowing Sean, chances are he is not). So get over it. Sean will.

 

Our web master again, has come under attack (yet some wonder why he has not been posting to the boards). So HooBoy is being partial? oh please! That some people will think that Hoo has nothing better to do with his time than write up reviews or "promote" anyone escort better than he would another!. Case in point, I did not get a review from him after we met. It took another meeting, weeks later. Even then, he took several weeks to write it, and even more to post it. Yet, I have a "Seal of approval". Funny way of being partial won't you say?

 

All that delay because, I am quite sure he was attending to other matters of state and ensuring other escorts got a fair mention.

 

In general, clients/visitors to this site speak/talk/comment (good or bad) about the most visible escorts, or those that take an active role on this site. Its only natural. Why should Hoo be any different? Out of sight/ear out of mind. Non?

 

HB, affords us a very useful service. Clients and escorts alike. It is up to us to make of it what we will, and not give the guy a hard time each he so much as breathes.

 

Why, oh why, can't we all just get along?

You are, as always, a man of temperance, reason, and good humor, something this board could use a little more of.

 

I find it interesting that none of the messages, save mine, have mentioned the issue of whispering campaigns, but for the most part have taken the opportunity to unload on Sean again and again, albeit in public. I don't know if this is an indication of tacit approval of such campaigns or just apathy to the issue, or the fact that the opportunity to comment on Sean completely over shadowed the basic question, at least as I saw it.

 

I also don't understand how poor HooBoy got dragged into this for a little more abuse -- he's probably growing his hair and beard long and making plans to hole up in a Las Vegas Hotel for the rest of his life.

 

As for your question --

<Why, oh why, can't we all just get along?>

 

I'm reminded of the scorpion who said to the frog "it's just my nature" after he had just stung the frog who was in the process of carrying the scorpion across the river...

RE: Idle Gossip

 

My god, after reading this belabored thread, all I can do is quote Shakespeare..."Much ado about nothing." But, I will put my two cents in and say that I once chatted online with Sean and found him as arrogant and obnoxious as his posts. And guess what? Im not a client of his. So much for his attracting new clients. But then again, if he's so busy, how does he have time to write all these posts? Hmmm......

[Guest regulation]

RE: Idle Gossip

 

Would the person or persons who have been sending out these surreptitious emails trashing Sean please send some to me? They sound really interesting.

[Guest MattAdams]

I can speak from experience that there is no benefit to trashing another escort. Quite frankly, for some clients it is taken as a letter of recommendation. Look at all the comments on Hunter in Las Vegas...it doesent seem to deter clients from getting ripped off...and quite frankly many of the guys that wrote the reviews were forewarned and deserve no sympathy.
