I came back for reasons that are my business and I've owned up to all my posts I've ever made. I've never once played the victim role unless it was warranted (I.E., being outed by a provider and MOD) and even then, I didn't truly play the victim role. I stood up for myself and stood my ground because I had been wronged.

If you reread my responses to Kaylen, I make it very clear as to how she plays the victim role in numerous threads. The "OMG's, SMH's, etc." when all she truly needs to do is read the posts and decide if she needs to truly respond to them.

Kaylen is good at marketing herself in the CoEd forum, hell......it might as well be her own little advertising forum and as I said last night, I applaud her for that. But, the victim role gets old. If she took the advice given to her by not only me, but a few other ladies, she wouldn't jump to conclusions and use the victim card.

It was never my intention to cause drama, I just say what's on my mind and judging from the PM's I've been receiving.......what's on their minds too.

Some of us (at least me and my mouse in my pocket) are getting tried of having to repeat the same thing over and over again.
STOP CLOSING THE DAMN THREADS BEFORE THE DEBATES EVEN GET STARTED.. let them die the way management meant for them too.

I gotta say I couldn't agree more..

With respect Johnny, I too believe we are here to "have fun and share valuable information" and I believe the random closing of threads inhibits this and if there were hard and fast rules regarding these closures, it would be one thing but thread closing from where I stand is open to interpretation and is not even handed IMO..

Just because you might not find some information valuable doe not mean that someone else does not.

It just seems that everyone is so busy singing kumbayah, out of fear of being pointed or banned, around here that no real information is being shared.

I agree 100%...leave them open unless something obviously off base happens andstop with the "hijack" bs..

No one is silent around here for fear of points or being banned.

I think he would have jumped in earlier but he just recently rejoined us and I find myself holding my opinions more than ever before for just this "fear" you reference. I wouldn't care so much except I bought LPA.. and I now feel the need to protect my investment..LOL

I don't know about the "PM's" but I couldn't agree more about the "over and over"...I'm tired of whining about it myself...maybe if the censorship could be dumbed down a bit..

With respect Johnny...I think this ongoing thread closing snafu does bear discussion. I don't like complaining about it but I also strongly believe it needs to be examined..

I hate reading a thread in the morning and not having time to reply to it before it gets closed.
I see most of the debate threads much more valuable then reviews... at least the threads are more honest.

Agreed..

Not more valuable than your or BFs reviews but lets face it, not much is.. I am weary of the ongoing debate as I believe you are as well but I think the thread closing is censorship and I think of all things, a SHMB should be immune..

Yeah...she did change her mind but I think that is a right that should be afforded her..

Not to be confused with an ex-mod who is constantly changing handles and profiles..instead of just owning up to who he is...
I guess like thread closings, I don't see the point...

You're a funny guy, RtM! Oh wait, you meant that as a serious statement.

Hey, we've all come to accept the fact that it's all about "product placement". If a lady can interject herself in a thread (whether it's one she started for whatever reason, or whether it's posting something on someone else's thread just to show that she is around), it's about exposure.

You see a can of Coke in a movie... obviously, it has nothing to do with the storyline of the movie, but it's recognizable and, thus, an ad. But, sometimes... there's just too much Coke in movies.

I agree with Wiz on this.. If I see a Coke in a movie it makes me want to drink one lol

It is all about product placement. I don't post many ads.. 1 or 2 every 6 months or so. A lot of the time I will post on a thread just like he said to let everyone know I am still around.. To each their own on how they want to be exposed...

I am just being conspicuous by my absence on this thread, and that is all I have to say about that......

For weighing in...BTW...how are your lungs?

And I don mean titties....

I agree with the posts above, I think every post on here by a provider is a ad in one way or another. The posts "advertise" our personalities and opinions. I think many clients choose providers based upon what and how they post. I think making a fuss over threAD's is pointless, I'd like to think we are all smart enough to see things for what they are.

P.S. I have big awesome boobies and a great ass!

I don't believe you. Your showcase pic covers your tushy with a pretty pink heart. This IS the Show Me State, so please prove that you do indeed have a great ass

Oh, and show us the boobies too please

OK Elum, so sometimes threAD hijacks are productive!

[algrace]

Instead of posting on threADs to bring attention to his opinion, I believe the OP should stick to posting here with the link(s) to examples to further the argument.

It is a tiring distraction to see it in multiple threAD postings. The argument has some validity and when/if OP is moderating the board, then it may become a more pressing issue.

Aren't hijacks less well received than even a threAD?

[CaptainKaos]

Algrace, it all depends on the content.

I might be traveling down KC way in a few weeks so stopped to see what was going on and found this thread. All I can think of is that we need Kramer from Seinfeld to to make this a funny thread about nothing.
