How do you know this? There are certain vague precepts which the worshippers in the Church of Benjamin walk around creepily repeating like a mantra. That he makes tons of money is one of the highest Commandments. And here you are repeating it. How do you know it's true?

 

As Matt Gunther pointed out below, BN runs around the Internet posting ads for his prostitution services and he advertises like crazy with everything he does. That hardly bespeaks of an escort who - as he and his deranged followers relentlessly claim - has so many clients lined up waiting to hire him that he has no time to even accomodate the hordes who seek to be with him. So what's your basis for proclaiming his financial prosperity?

 

I,

>for one, don't begrudge him that if he leaves his clients

>satisified which seems to be their testimony.

 

So anyone who makes a shitload of money hawking a product that people like is immune from criticism in your eyes? That's not a very elevated behavioral standard you have there, now is it?

 

>At his

>age he has plenty of margin to learn and grow.

 

At his age? What is his age? On the front page of his blog, he says he's 21. But he claimed to be 21 a full 6 years ago. And things he's said here would suggest that he's far closer to 31 than 21, if not actually 31.

 

Isn't he well past the age where he (and you) can use his age to excuse his behavior?

 

>And he's having the time of his life.

 

Here's a little hint about people:

 

People who relentlessly seek to show others how rich they are usually aren't.

 

People who relentlessly seek to show others how successful they are usually aren't.

 

People who relentlessly seek to show others how happy they are usually aren't.

 

If you know deep down that you are X, you don't make efforts to show people that you are X, and you certainly don't go and create a whole blog devoted to that task.

Why? We're still using that to excuse your behavior. (Hey, it's as good an excuse as any. :9 )

You must understand, Doug, that TY is one of those clients who usually reacts to any report of unpleasant behavior by an escort with "Why that young scamp!" or words to that effect. He's perpetually trying to find excuses for such behavior, and age is one of his favorites. If he didn't try to excuse it, of course, he might have to take a serious look at what he's been doing with his spare time for the past few years and draw some rather uncomfortable conclusions. We wouldn't want that, would we?

And what's the excuse for the way you behave? It certainly isn't youth.

I act in the best interests of the site, when I need to act at all. (Which is actually pretty rare, thankfully.)

 

If I acted on emotion you and Doug would have been booted the day I was promoted to admin after one of the admins died. (People will soon be saying I'm showing favoritism, I'm sure!)

 

If you want me to be peaches and cream, think again. I'm not that way with people I like either.

 

You'll have to take me just the way I am, just as we have to take you just the way you are.

 

Life's like that.

RE: Don't Cry for Ben...

 

Your inference has fallen wide of the mark sir, very wide. I offered no excuses. I simply pointed out the he is young, apparently making money, and having the time of his life it seems. That I don’t think he draws on ‘playing with the Big Boys’ in the Message Center as a font for life energy or their reprimands as the ultimate in punishment for his transgressions. Furthermore, that at his age he still has time to overcome his flaws.

 

The intended implication of my post is that some of us Hooville big boys sometimes take ourselves a bit too seriously whether we are building up or tearing down someone. I'll add that sometimes applies to escorts too.

Don't go changing, to try and please me

You never let me down before

Don't imagine you're too familiar

And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble

We never could have come this far

I took the good times, I'll take the bad times

I'll take you just the way you are

 

Don't go trying some new fashion

Don't change the color of your hair

You always have my unspoken passion

Although I might not seem to care

 

I don't want clever conversation

I never want to work that hard

I just want someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are.

 

I need to know that you will always be

The same old someone that I knew

What will it take 'till you believe in me

The way that I believe in you.

 

I said I love you, and that's forever

And this I promise from the heart

I could not love you any better

I love you just the way you are.

Carol Brady sang that song at Marcia and Jan's double wedding in the TV-movie "The Brady Girls Get Married," which morphed into the short-lived series "The Brady Brides." Just FYI.

Why a personal note? Oh I see it now "obese queens" I get it that was directed at me. Strange how using words like fag, ####, nazi are rightly unacceptable but people still enjoy a good lark off the lard, eh?

 

Well, unlike you I cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars to fly people here to have sex with me. I spend about $90. for a RT ticket to fly a 21 year old friend to visit me about once a month from SoCal. He flies coach, spends anywhere from 2 - 7 days with me and doesn't charge me a penny to have sex with him or for anything else. I do insist on covering his expenses (i.e. food, show tickets, movie tickets) and he constantly surprises me by leaving money behind for me to find to cover the expenses I try to cover.

 

This post was written by your friendly "obese queen ... who 'has' no choice other than paying for companionship."

You're to be congratulated for your self-restraint. Instead of misusing your power as a "moderator" to kick us out, you've merely threatened to do so once or twice for reasons purely personal and having nothing to do with any violation of the MC rules. Yup, you're definitely one of nature's noblemen.

 

>If you want me to be peaches and cream, think again. I'm not

>that way with people I like either.

 

I don't care how brusque you are with me, and you know that quite well. If I can take the razzing of people like Doug without flinching, I ought to be able to take it from you, who are a mere amateur by comparison.

 

The only behavior of yours to which I object is that, not content with making negative remarks to others here on your own behalf, you frequently invoke your official status in doing so -- just as you did in the quote shown above. You're like a cop who invokes his official authority in a purely personal dispute that has nothing to do with his duties as a policeman. Try fighting your own battles for a change instead of always dragging the site into it.

No, deej, I haven't. I don't think I've ever made a mistake about you. My post wasn't really intended to be read by you, since you've told this board over and over and over again that you don't read my posts.

 

I can understand why you think it was, however. Since we're talking about oldies in this subthread, do you recall the one that goes "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you . . . ."? I remember it.

[+ deej]

RE: Don't Cry for Ben...

 

Yes, I remember that song. It was a hit when I was in Jr. High School.

 

You're mighty easy to bait. Look how hard you had to work to come up with a response. I could just wink at you and you'd fume and fuss and get verbose.

 

It has nothing to do with the topic at hand. It never does. You just have to have words.

I'm easy to bait? You're the one who has said again and again and again that you don't read my posts, not the other way around. And yet here you are not only reading but responding to them. I guess that means you can take your place among the self-dramatizing queens here who love making big, dramatic statements about what they're going to do and then going back on them a few days (or hours) later. I wouldn't have thought it of you, I really wouldn't.

Deej, it surprises me that you have any friends at all; it really, really does. I can't think of anyone more alienating and arrogant as you are in representing this MC. Even when you are proven wrong, the stench of your self absorbtion wreaks in your pitiful apologies and explanations. Your superior attitude that you seem to get from being "promoted" to a moderator must fill some very empty needs in your life and your response to that "power" is, so very predictable. You seem to think that your very presence on this MC represents something that we should be bowing in front of you for. Do you get off on baiting people really? Is that fun for you Deej? Does it make you feel like a real man, with a real big dick? I guess it does based upon your postings; which have been directed to me as well. Deej, it's good that you have this little piece of power in your life, absent it, I'm willing to bet you couldn't even get a stray dog to be your friend.

Save your astonishment for an occasion that merits it. Deej doesn't have any friends, or at least none that look over his shoulder as he adds his bons mots to this board. Inventing imaginary friends to mock at your adversary on a message board is a classic gambit used by a poster when he feels he's losing a series of exchanges like this one.

 

> I can't think of anyone more alienating

Neither can I. But no one has ever skewered him quite as well as Doug did, when he described deej as a small-town cop who throws his weight around every chance he gets and responds to any complaints with a hearty "Fuck you!"
