Steven Draker Timeout

[Bosguy]

What is this all about???? I personally don't recall anything that Steven did against Forum policies. A long time member and frequent poster of valuable, intellectual, and fun postings.

There are a number of other posters who deserve to be in a time out status as outright liars but people apparently don't see through their lies and dangerous misinformation

Are we allowed to ask why and who made this decision?

How can one tell if a member is on time out?

 

Hugs,

Greg, the words "Time-Out" appear under the poster's name in the event he or she runs afoul of management. When that happens, a look at the person's recent posts often- but not always- gives a clue as to why the time-out occurred. I do not know the facts in this case.

I too was wondering why Steven had been given a "time out" I have never seen any post that I found offensive, degrading or anything that was not posted in good fun.

Add me to the list of people quite surprised by this news. I've always enjoyed Steven's witty, insightful posts, and I hope that he's able to come back soon.

In the meantime, if he needs company in Timeout, let me be the first to offer my services

Steven has become very aggressive the last number of days. Quite unlike his normal self. Hopefully he can work through his issues and return as a valued contributor.

He's quite opinionated for an escort, usually working guys on here try not to get too "catty" on here. He was accused by several members of sending threats by PM.

He seems to have a lot of free time lately to spend it on here, besides no face pics at all?

I personally believe the "grindr" thread pushed him over the edge.

[Frankly Rich]

We don't know why Steven Draker is on time-out, so we also don't know that he was pushed over the edge! Several people found fault with some things he posted lately, and that includes me. But the fault was found with the posts, not the poster himself. Naturally, the time-out goes to the poster, but such is life. He will be back and my hope is that we all will live in peace and harmony.

I agree. I would not question management's decision. Too often, SD has seemed to think that it's OK to cover a nasty post or message with a thin veneer of politeness.

Thank you for responding. I (and others) have challenged these 2 gentlemen's veracity regularly on the public Forum, but they hide behind generalities and PM's. I am not going to spend the time to go back through their extreme number of posts that are very indicative of my statements, but I will watch future posts VERY CAREFULLY and follow your guidance.

Once again, thank you for a gentlemanly clarification of policy.

Steven did seem a bit different lately, and was very fond of using PMs in ways that could be upsetting. Hope everything is OK with him, we all have bad days. I think the conversation about Grinder, etc. has struck a raw nerve with a lot of people. The reality is that with these apps it is more of a free market situation, and it is available to all parties in real time. Kind of reinforces Adam Smith. When all parties have equal access to information prices tend to fall, and although the guy you find may not be as polished the unrehearsed aspect of it all can actually add to the thrill of the chase. When it is free or very inexpensive a bad hook up is nowhere near as much of a problem as when you pay $1,000 and up for an overnight. Escorts who are used to clients willing to pay almost any amount should be worried. Regardless of what they say it tends to sound like what retailers were saying about online shopping until places like Amazon made them rethink their business and adjust their pricing.

cause most here would rather have some mechanical yes-escort? I like a guy with an opinion!

 

as for some commenting here, it was those very folks who fueled that fire

Thank you Frankly Rich for your calm and measured response. While none of us know the reason for the time-out, guessing perhaps doesn't really help. Hopefully he will return, as most in time-out eventually do.

Damn those uppity escorts! Next thing you know, they'll want the right to vote.

Well maybe, but I think since Steven is Belgian and not a US citizen as far as I know, this probably isn't an issue. (I know - they probably vote for things over in Belgium too).

 

I haven't been around for a bit and so I was surprised to see this time-out too. I haven't noticed the aggressive behavior that others mentioned. Last I remember was that Steven made a lot of witty and fun posts that I enjoyed. I must have missed something. Hope he is back soon.

In Chicago doesn't matter if one is an escort, alive or dead. We all vote early and often

I'm not sure if you noticed but escorts on here avoid getting into any kind of fight and don't reply to guys who "fuel the fire", they post things in a very general way just to advertise themselves, is not classy to sound like someone who take things in this forum in a very personal way and unfortunately SD sounded like that on the Grindr thread.

 

Thanks for your humor, I think Steven has the right to vote back home but not for Chief of State.

I am surprised at your post on this thread. It is very apparent that you and Steven disagree emphatically and frequently. Wasn't it you who became infuriated when he asked you if you were really hiring or not hiring escorts and you subsequently said you would not post on any thread he started or was active in?

 

Maybe it's time to decide which side of the bed you are sleeping on or get up

Steven Draker the trouble maker? Say it isn't so!!!!

 

Never had the pleasure of a personal meet, but often wondered what's he got above the neck that he won't show us. Once tried to hire him in a city I was visiting, but his dance card was full. Enjoyed most of his posts. Jeez, I'm talking like he has expired!!!

 

So typical of me. Yacking about somebody behind his back. I should be spanked. Who should I call to punish me?

[Okliehomo]

Good luck finding that......a good spanking ain't easy to find....

 

But, at least, this guy seems willing.

Someone on the grindr thread had a nasty comment about Steven's butt and none of this gentlemen came out to defend him.

 

SD and BVB don't have a lot of chemistry...
