wouldn't it be nice?

[Guest JustStarting]

Ethan--

I, for one, enjoy your posts--whether they be confrontational, corrective or even cantankerous. Each escort that posts frequently presents a certain personna to the group. Mr. Munroe is a witty, brilliant self promoter. You are a brilliant, opinionated, young (yes even juvenile at times), thin skinned and sometimes vulgar man. I love to read both your posts!

I'm sure we have both rocket scientists and brain surgeons reading this site--but we also have fools, old farts, and aging queens. It's OK for you to react when you're challenged--please don't tone down your sentiments. Those who take all this seriously deserve the coronary attacks your posts probably induce! (Oh oh--is that too harsh for some?)

By the way, too bad you can't make it to LA--I would have loved to meet you--maybe a game of scrabble?:-)

[Guest DCeBOY]

wouldn't it be nice if folks could actually comment on the substance of what i say?

take a look at bluenix's remark in the Ask An Escort forum as an example of the strange need folks here have to attack me, even when i'm being helpful & on target.

 

oh well! life is short & if i can add a little sunshine to their lives, i'll consider it a mitzvah.:*

wouldn't it be nice if some people followed their own advice and not always corrected other posters' spelling and instead actually commented on what they have to say?

[Guest DCeBOY]

when did i say that?

 

when did i complain about anyone correcting my spelling? (answer: never.) i never intimated that folks shouldn't try. the fact remains that i made a perfectly valid, on-topic post. the response was only to chide me for doing so. it didn't question the veracity of what i said. it didn't correct any errors--be they in spelling, syntax, diction, or grammar.

 

i'm curious, kk: does that hurt your back? i would find the contortion excrutiating.

[Guest bottomboykk]

RE: when did i say that?

 

You complained about people not commenting on the substance of your posts, yet that's exactly what you do when you merely correct someone's spelling (something only assholes do) without commenting on the substance of his post.

 

I keep hoping against hope that one day your maturity will catch up with your intelligence. It sure hasn't happened yet!

[Guest DCeBOY]

RE: when did i say that?

 

well, at least my corrections actually refer to the post in question.

 

since we're talking about assholes...

is it very hard to shove your head up your own ass like that? since you do it so often, i'll have to assume it must be relatively easy.

[Guest bottomboykk]

RE: when did i say that?

 

Usually I refrain from responding to anything you write, cuz you aren't worth it. This is the last I'll say on the subject, but it's interesting that you're complaining about people doing to you that very thing that you do to others all the time.

[Guest DCeBOY]

no, i'm not.

 

if you had bothered to actually READ anything i posted, you'd see that i have in fact NOT made such a complaint.

[guyinsf]

I agree that you added something helpful to that thread, and then got attacked anyway. My guess is that this has to do with the tone and content of many of your previous posts, not this one. For example, on another current thread your contribution was to admonish posters to use "blond" for men, pointing out that "blonde" is for females. This was not only non-responsive to the original subject, your delivery of this spelling correction could have been more polite if your intent was solely to educate others.

 

I know that I can have a sharp edge and actively monitor myself in order to minimize, as much as possible, being bitchy or demeaning here. Hopefully I succeed most of the time. As in "real life," you get back what you put out here. A consistent adversarial stance is surely begging for someone to fight, and there is no shortage of people who love to fight online. I don't enjoy that so I try to minimize my participation in that. You can decide for yourself whether you like to engage with others in this way and whether you want to respond if someone else is trying to drag you into an interaction that's more about one-upmanship than an exchange of information and experience.

[Guest DCeBOY]

>your

>contribution was to admonish posters to use "blond" for men,

>pointing out that "blonde" is for females.

 

but, my point here is: i have no problem with someone correcting me. if i spell something incorrectly & you're smart enough to catch it, go for it. what i'm complaining about is people who can't find anything wrong with what i post; they simply deride me for posting in the first place. there is a difference.

I happen to mirror JustStarting opinion on Ethan... while his posts are sometimes very opinionated, his remarks are very intelligent and thought provoking. I too enjoy reading his posts. Everyone brings something unique to this message center - and Ethan is no exception.

 

as for playing a game of scrabble with the young man... nope..he'd kick my butt...

LA possibilities

 

i'm still perfectly able to pop down to LA. the client response was pretty dismal though. i decided that either the timing was wrong, or i've lost it. (that's assuming i ever had it, which might be a stretch!)

so, if there's interest, i can still come down. i'll put a notice in the travel section that i'm coming. if there is no response, i'll just cancel.

email me if you'd like to discuss the scrabble world series.

I know that you are not this Clueless

 

People do routinely respond to your posts, and then you just nail them because they disagree with you. Other times, you're just being you, which just seems easy, as the tag goes.

 

For instance, Traveller responded to the post, "Looking for Advice" on June 20th with the following:

 

"right. it should make no difference cuz u always assume all

>of the johns are positive. and ur a top only, so what gives?

Exactly. You've always got to proceed as if everyone is positive and play safe accordingly. So what's the problem Ethan."

 

And your reply on that same day, going to the heart and substance of his post, was the following:

 

"2 words: fuck you".

[Guest 7Zach]

RE: LA possibilities

 

Well, in an earlier post, you just said you were kinda scrawny, and they liked beefier guys there. Probably a toss-up.

I suspect it would be more a game of squabble.:*

Blue,

Reply of the month. Excellent and responding perfectly to his goo goo gaa gaa posts. Bottomboy, ditto.

 

Later.

 

PS. Don't ya just hate it when meetings take up an entire day and you can't follow Look Who's Talking incessant drivel.

[Traveller]

RE: I know that you are not this Clueless

 

To which I replied to that post completely:

 

Four words: Fish in a barrel. And that's what he'll always be, a very easy mark. Which, if you think of it, is unusual in a trollop.

 

Later.

 

PS. Up above, I should've used the possessive: Look Who's Talking's. Sorry.

Charmed, I am sure

 

This is a good thread. The interesting thing about all of us, escorts or clients, is that the ones of us who take the time to post have an interesting take, even when others may feel we have nothing to say. How interesting is "the rub."

 

English is not my native language and the fact that I, in either haste or error, may type a work incorrectly, is not of consequence to me. The gentlemen here either like me for what I have to say or they do not. I may have an experience soon where a client came to me from this discussion board but this will be an exceedingly rare event. The reviews, replete with typos, errors and what not, are no worse for me than they are for Rick Munroe, Ethan or any other escort on the site. Those reviews provide those of us who participate here with a share of clients.

 

What is interesting is what the non-escort participants derive from this board. I have come to learn to be more attentive and considerate in what I type in response. Some of the answers to the thread about this board, that showed the connection it provided to people beyond mere entertainment, were informative to say the least, and those of us on the left or right coast take some of the freedom and opportunity we have for granted.

 

I am sure certain people will once again fault me and point out that I have not always been courteous and considerate in the past. My only explanation (and this is not an excuse) was that my post were a response to an attack. However, I do sincerely believe that the tone and character of this board would provide a more enjoyable, entertaining and enlightening experience if we could all learn to be a little more patient, a little less crass and a little bit more considerate of one another.

 

Namaste.

[Guest DCeBOY]

i love it

doesn't this sound an awful lot like "but he started it!"?

scooby-do & the case of the mysterious missing 17

 

anyone have any idea what happened to post # 17? did it contain something that violated a rule, or did the poster request that it be deleted?

[phage]

RE: scooby-do & the case of the mysterious missing 17

 

That was me. I was reading the board while attending a teleconference and my multi-tasking obviously SUCKS. I intended to send a private mail, used the reply feature to get the other person’s private mail icon, but then proceeded to fill out the reply form and post it.

 

It added nothing to the dialog and was obviously meant for a specific person, so I asked that it be deleted.

 

Nothing ominous or mysterious.

[Guest DCeBOY]

RE: scooby-do & the case of the mysterious missing 17

 

thanks for the explanation. i was just curious.
