Hey I just wanted to say... This is one of the reasons I can't hate you. In my long, long, long post the other day I called you sleazy in a bad way and sleazy in a good way. At least that was the way I intended it. Like I said, I don't know that you're a guy I want to be lifelong buds with with but I can't understand why people have SUCH a problem with you. Originally Posted by down41Some of what I post forces people to think a little bit more about decisions they make...

Some of it has simply not been talked about in a while because frankly, there are folks around here that don't want some things discussed.... That old line Nicholson delivered in a Few Good Men (I think) rings true around here at times.... "They can't handle the truth".....
Unless you're pulling shit that I don't know about. None of your posts, that I recall, have any real venom or name calling unless someone's called you out.Even then you will not see me calling anyone a name.... I see some of the new enforcement we are being promised as rules that will cost people some points and earn them vacations since I seem to be someone that people like to call names..... I won't like knowing they get pointed or suspended simply for not being in control of their emotions.......
In another thread one of the "nice guys" is doing just that right now.... It's slightly veiled but to anyone that knows me or knows him it's pretty evident that the pictures chosen as well as names used would easily qualify as a "personal attack"..... So maybe name calling will still be allowed if we veil it... If so I can honestly state I can be incredibly creative and write very well......
But so far I don't feel the need to go there..... We'll let him have his little post so he can show it to the ladies and win some favor....
All you really do is stick up for the guy's POV and you always bring up relevant, valid points about the hobby in a very straight, pull-no-punches way. And boring threads get interesting after you post.Thanks for noticing that....... I think what really rubs some people is that I truly do not care for the woman's POV as it applies to most of the topics we discuss....
I look at them as a business.... I know that seems insensitive.... But this is a discussion board....... Some of them should learn to read and think and learn a bit before reacting.........It's their business..... I'm not going to tell McDonalds or Sears or the Dollar Store how to run their business......
But unlike those Businesses many of the Ladies feel the need to tell US how we need to act as customers....
I'm sorry.... I have a HUGE problem with that.... those are the kinds of threads I get involved in on a large level and the girls call their buddies and those guys take sides in the threads and it occasionally gets out of hand.... But I'm seldom the one doing any name calling.....
Maybe the way you do it rubs people the wrong way, like you said, but WHAT you're doing seems pretty valuable to the hobbyists IMHO. And if people's knee jerk reaction to anything you say wasn't "screw you, troll" then it might be a lot calmer around here.Well..... I'm kinda surprised nobody really even noticed or mentioned who started the whole Troll thing...... Combined with recent posts it kinda reeks of hypocrisy....
Most of the girls that I'm interested in aren't frequent posters or even posters at all. I'm probably more interested in the kind of girls - at least in their looks - that you find in the strip clubs (hotties in their 20s) but I don't want to hang out in strip clubs and "work it". I also don't go to socials or luncheons because of anonymity reasons so I'm limited on "how I play". If she's not on the board or p411 I won't hear about her. I PM with a very small number of guys who I trust and I hear about a new girl every now and then. I've got a handful of girls I'm happy with and add a new one or two every now and then. I don't run through them like youI don't really have any Goals.....
It sounds like your goal is to get more young hotties on the board or on p411 and in the "Dallas price range" in one way or another. If that's your agenda, then I'm a supporter of that.
I did not start posting again because I have an Agenda.....
I was silent for a long time because as i was coming to Austin one of the Austin Mods flat out told me I would get banned in a heartbeat for posting anything like you've seen in recent weeks which is how I have always posted everywhere I've been over the last 10 years..... I was told that Austin was "different", that they liked what they had and my input would not be needed....
I tested the waters a couple of times and found that if I wanted to use ASPD as a resource I needed use it for reference only and I shut up for a couple of years.....
The recent changes made and a new community more open to discussion gives me the opportunity to state my opinion....
It's not my "agenda" to control or manipulate anything............
I think in time I hope more guys will realize it is OK to speak up a bit and to hell with the WKs and few overly opinionated women that don't feel they should be allowed to do so.
When that group shuts up a bit more I think you will see more ladies as well as guys participating and get more honest reviews as well as some variety...
In the mean time... If you want to meet a cute hot spinner drop me a line and we can have a beer..... At the end of the Night you'll wear the tag "sleazy" like a badge of honor when your taking advantage of some hot young dancer!
