Thanks to the persistence, although misguided, of one, singular hobbyist, it has come to my attention that several of the members here--male and female--have recently expressed concern for my well-being. I presume that the cause for such concern is the result of my extended absence from the boards or the absence of hobby availability in my schedule. Perhaps both of those reasons contribute to this outpouring of concern. Who knows? I certainly don't.
What I do know, though, is the answer to the only question that has any value to any discussion of my "condition." Only one person--ONE!--has managed to man-up and ask me the question directly. I've wondered who will ask next, but I can't stand the suspense any longer. I can only imagine, considering the extreme gravity of the issue at hand, that I am not the only one who feels this tension. And if you didn't want to know, you wouldn't be talking to one another about it, asking each other questions only one person on this entire board is qualified to answer. So, if you're not asking me, you're talking to the wrong person.
I though about not addressing this issue at all. After all, what is is and nothing I post will change what is, unfortunately. I thought about just getting up here and telling you all the truth of the matter complete with every intimate detail you could hope for so that you can better understand my "condition." I've decided against that, however, because it won't change the fact that what is still is, and one thing I've learned in the hobby is that bad press is still press. (that's C-a-I-t-i-e, btw.)
For those of you who may not be aware of what is, I'll try to bring you up to speed although I only have the vantage point of a spectator and not a participant.
ECCIE General Conduct Guidelines: Rule #16:
Posting about/Speculating about another person's medical condition is strictly forbidden. If a member encounters a medical issue and would like to get feedback from others or share it with the community, this would be allowed, but under no circumstances is a member to discuss or state anything about another member in this regard, unless it is in response to a question posed by that member. Originally Posted by St.ChristopherDespite this rule, some member of this board claims to have proof that I have a medical condition that threatens the health and safety of this community and word of my alleged condition and the (as yet, undisclosed) material and conclusive proof of that condition have been hinting and whispering their way across the boards and backchannels. So far no one has felt the need to post accusatory movie posters, but I'm sure many learned their lessons for such behavior at the expense of others. Likewise, no one has come forward with the evidence they claim against my reputation, either. Lack of evidence will surely not support the case against me. Luckily for everyone concerned, I have a fresh copy of the only proof needed in this instance to settle the mystery.
All I have to do is turn over this item and it will be settled. But why would I do that? True or false I should at least know my accuser. That's my selfish reason for not disclosing the truth of these allegations. My civic-minded reason for not giving up the evidence is that if I were on the other side of this and I believed what people are saying now about someone else, there is no way I would trust a pre-existing and extremely recently acquired piece of evidence the accused just happened to have at the time she became suspect. I would need, for my satisfaction, new evidence.
Where does that leave us now? Clearly, the burden of the issue should be upon those who gave it life. Those who claim to have proof need to come with it. Those who have no proof have no dog in this hunt and ought to shut the fuck up and get back to chasing hookers or taking money from tricks.
When someone comes to me with proof against me for these allegations I will respond in kind. Anyone who wished to just cut to the chase and submit creditable, accurate, fresh proof of my "condition" is invited to provide the funding for it. AnyLabTestMcKinney.com (among others) charge from $49/test to $229 for a Comprehensive STD Panel. Of course, although the testing itself will only take about 15 minutes, I would expect to spend upwards of an hour altogether once you figure in getting to and from the clinic twice. Even for my time, trouble, disclosure, the invasion of my privacy and all this childish drama, I will expect no compensation beyond my most recently advertised hourly rate.
Until then, boys and girls, do what the smart kids do and get a little spit on that cock before you cover it, but cover it every time.

PS: Just to keep this communication open and productive, I welcome open conversation on this specific subject on the condition that your contribution to this issue includes indisputable evidence of my condition one way or the other. If you have no proof, you have no contribution to make, but for shutting the fuck up about it you will have my sincere appreciation.
