The shows over....

 

How's that, BVB? You still have a tub of popcorn. Where's the pizza?

Chuckle away. As I wrote at the time, I have never in my life asked anyone to contribute to any charity or any other fund.

 

"With absolutely no pressure or anger on my part, please at least consider a donation, even if $10."

If you can ask strangers to consider donating, maybe you can think about loosening up on your absolute conviction of not asking those that know you (and know you hire) to consider donating to a worthy cause. Otherwise, some readers may get the wrong impression that your donations are simply a means of posting “what a good boy am I.”

Is that really a serious response?

Probably not, William.

You see, William what kind of negativity I was referring in my past post on this thread? Now it seems to be shifted towards you over it all being no other than - Mr. Nice guy as "Nice guys finish last" sort of syndrome.

 

With "certain" individuals on this forum it's either "Damned if you do, or Damned if you don't" for being the "Nice" guy.

 

We all know you donated out of the kindness of your heart, and so did many others who participated in the Rentboy7 fundraising.

 

I'm viewing what Miamilooker could be posting a sign of envy maybe? . Seems that way to me.

 

Why else would someone be viciously attacking participants(yourself included)for giving in the Rentboy7 cause unless theyre gleeming with envy.

 

This is the same kind of BS that's happening to Steven Kessler with BaronArtz for once again "being a nice guy" by giving to a probable cause.

 

Who in they're right mind is gonna question others for being giving, kind, and pouring "blessings" where it's needed onto others in need unless jealousy is involved?

 

Doesn't make any sense at all and do challenge ML's ambiguity towards you just like I did with BaronArtz towards Steven Kessler for being sympathetically empathic to others out of good intentions. You didn't "give" for attention - you gave because you cared and showed your support by doing so, and to me(and others who would agree with me on this one) is a beautiful quality to have in one's personality in being giving onto others in need.

 

Stay sweet, baby, and you keep giving cause you have a kind and caring soul.

 

I'd say, Miamilooker - you and BaronArtz included, may wanna catch some of what William, Steven, and myself have and that's love and compassion in donating to those in need. You may find it not only rewarding and sweet, but tasty at the same time. .

 

You should come get some of what we all have seriously - compassion. Yeah, come on, Get some!!!!

Touche' Miami.

 

First, congratulations. I suspect you had no idea when you posted the picture of the queen being crowned you would get that much mileage out of it. You have done an excellent job allowing JD to just keep digging himself deeper and deeper into doo doo. You are unmerciful, but that's not a surprise to me.

 

What I do find surprising, and what does not make me chuckle, is this latest turn. It suggests that you, like JD, just don't know when to stop. I almost commented about the "chuckle" dig but I figured it was better to be silent so this thread could be put out of its misery.

 

Now you've switched targets and are going after William, twice, because he is in fact practically perfect in every way, in donating to help defend an escort and client community that you chose to be part of, but you consistently demean, insult, and attack. You give new meaning to the phrase, "No good deed goes unpunished."

 

It is 11:45 on the east coast. I have a few fractured ribs, so I need some sleep.

 

You are a careful reader, so I'm assuming you read the post where William mentioned he fractured a few ribs. It would require a mean-spirited person like you to keep kicking a nice guy with a few broken ribs.

 

JD, please please please don't respond to this or say one more word to try to prove for the 999th time that you exhibit sincerity and kindness by attacking people who persecute you. It's bullshit. This is a miserable thread, and it deserves to die a truly miserable death.

 

Congratulations, Miami, for showing us all just how low we can go.

I do not know whether if I am a good boy or not. But, the picture to the left is really me (an old passport photo).

 

It was a choice not to leave a question mark there. Believe it or not, I try very hard to be honest on this site even if it hurts me..

 

None of these comments are aimed at you personally. I swear.

[BaronArtz]

For the record: donating money to a scam fund raiser is not a 'good deed'. It just means you are naïve. Thank you.

Is there a fund raiser here that has been identified as a 'scam'?

BartonArtz I learned a surprising lesson from my mother many years ago. An aunt was visiting us from out of state in the late 1960’s. Both my mother and my aunt enjoyed a minister who preached at a church near downtown Los Angeles so I volunteered to drive them there one Sunday. After the service we were approached by a man asking for money. My mother, one of the most pragmatic people I have ever known, reached into her purse and gave the man a five dollar bill. As we walked away my aunt chastised her saying that the man would just use the money for liquor or cigarettes. My mother’s response was classic – she stated that all she was concerned about was her motive in giving and NOT the man’s use of the money. Once she gave him the money with good intentions it was his business and only his business what he did with it. My aunt stopped dead in her tracks and started laughing saying she had just learned a good lesson. She turned around went back to the man and, to his shock, gave him five dollars.

God bless your mother, she raised a fine man if this was her theory on strangers. I hope u don't mind me making this comment about your mother. I offer it genuinely and honestly.

Kevin how could I possible be offended by such a sweet, kind comment? Thank you. Try and make it out to the Palm Springs Weekend as it would be a pleasure to meet you and buy you a drink.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

 

― Bernard M. Baruch

 

It is interesting that nobody has commented on Juan's ending to his first very long comment in this thread.

 

People who like JD (including me) would say that JD is doing what Bernard Baruch is advising, if maybe a little too much.

 

My only memories of Baruch were during his old age. In 1959-1960, he often bought a front row ticket to Broadway's "The Sound of Music." He usually turned his hearing aid up high and sang along with the children. At some point, the adult(s) on stage (Theo Bikel and/or Mary Martin) would have to quickly find the stage manager to tell Baruch to stop.

 

I was too young to realize he was most famous for far more important things: financier, advisor to presidents, philantheropist.

Dough, a lot, I've got a lot

Ray, my agent from De Beers

Me, the one that Truman called

Far, my distance from my peers

So, I'm never in the red

La, my banker tells me so

T-, the bills that make me bread

That will bring us back to dough

Oh, oh, oh

Lookin, It's a shame Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel are not still with us. It would have been worth all the problems Baruch caused them and the children. Upon Baruch first visit to the musical, even Mary Martin (a stage veteran) was apparently totally confused by Barush's antics. She sang "Do," and back would come "Do...Do...Do....."

 

I am old enough to vaguely remember Truman's relationship with Baruch, or, more likely, I read about it years later.
