As Doug has so eloquently explained in this subthread, you are indeed quite wrong.

>be kind to one another.

 

Yes, the same guy who has beseeched us to be kind to one another. He's also the same guy who just a couple of days earlier attacked the poster farmdude for failing to post a review of an escort farmdude criticized -- despite the fact that farmdude had indeed posted a review of that escort. You and Hooboy both seem to enjoy exhorting people to live up to standards that you do not uphold in your own behavior. No wonder you get along so well.

Woodlawn and Doug:

 

You are both right and I stand corrected. The original intent of this thread had nothing to do with HooBoy's health, only his well-being (the "new" relationship) and I apologize for this mistake.

 

Nonetheless, it was and still is only my opinion that, even though I do enjoy reading your threads, I didn't think the ones I referred to belonged in this particular forum. My comment about "having something nice to say" referred to THIS posting. There are plenty of other places to post some of the other things that were said.

 

For example, I posted some pretty strong opinions about Devon and Aaron Lawrence and had no qualms whatsoever about saying what I felt.

 

For the record, I don't think that either one of you were disrespectful in your response(s) to me; I did make a mistake and you pointed that out. And tactfully, neither response was personal in nature and simply reflected an alternative point of view.

 

Also for the record, I agree that HooBoy was WAY OUT OF LINE for trashing the reviewer who commented about Travis. If HooBoy has to personally verify the accuracy of every negative review, especially in light of overwhelming bad experience with Travis, then what is the purpose of the review site? BUT, I am going to post that opinion in THAT forum, after I read through all of Travis' reviews to be sure I didn't miss anything.

 

Thanks for pointing out my error. I can't truthfully say that it won't happen again, but I'll try to be more diligent.

"You're from Yonkers? That explains a lot. "

 

Busted again !!! I always get a lot of shit for being from Yonkers !!

True though, we do have an aweful reputation and it is well deserved.

Most of us are dicks...also a pretty anti-gay area...not exactly the best environment in which to grow up.

 

"I'm equally puzzled by your posts. In one thread in the Deli section, you claim you have never had sex with a man. In another thread in the same section, you pretend to speak with authority about the behavior of clients and escorts as if from long experience. Both of those things can't well be true. Which is it?"

 

Yup, never had sex with a guy. When I finally decided to shed the hetero role, I started with escorts. My first encounter was years ago (not sex...just j/o) but then I went back in to the closet...back to chicks.

 

A few months ago (June) I started coming out to friends, etc. In August, I did the escort thing again. Again, no sex...no kissing, no sucking...just j/o. I know that it sure is an expensive j/o but thats were I was.

 

Might be ready for more, but dont know if I want to do it with an escort or find someone I really like.

 

Dont mean to speak with authority about clients and escorts...have had about 15 encounters in the past few months due to an unexpected windfall and set aside a couple of thousand for this. That money is almost gone and I dont want to tap in to other sources, cause its just not that important for me...its for experimentation and fun. I do think that Ive learned a great deal from the experiences that Ive had, and answer posts where I feel I have something to say, or when I want to crack myself up.

"That's great. Now you can start trying to figure out how to write posts that OTHERS find amusing as well. Check back with us in a few months and let us know if you've made any progress." - woodlawn

 

Now that was fucken funny man !!! Yeah, maybe I dont really crack up others. Yonkers is definitely known for its low brow humour (purp).

I sometimes start to write a post, then I delete it cause its really not important or wise or whatever. Then sometimes I just start laughing and write what I think is funny.

Ouch!

It even has sex. And it's about the porn industry so it will have the other deceits you're looking for. They come built in.

 

My standard consulting fee is US$250.00 per hour, in 1-hour increments. I will accept a commensurate contribution to Hooboy's site.

 

You also might want to think twice before contracting the services of an IT consultant. You requested services without inquiring about price or terms.

No dice. Been there, done that.

And here I was thinking you have no sense of humor!

Since there was no discussion of consideration there is no contract. Better luck next time.

I was just wondering whether you've run into Dolly Levi or Horace Vandergelder recently.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist that.

Thanks for clearing up a minor mystery.

Don't let me discourage you from posting whatever you like. I was just trying to make the point that jokes about the vices of people in the Vatican have been going around since the 1500's, so there is probably not much you can say on the subject that is fresh or original.
