Do you guys like Prospero as a Moderator???

[bottomXOslave]

I come to notice he deletes posts that aren't convenient to him. LOL

Agree??:dead::dead::dead::wiggle::yayo:

[GroobySteven]

I just deleted your previous post - why do you think it was ok to re-up this one?
I told you, you don't have a right to post here - it's a privilege and if you don't like it, then go elsewhere.

Your posts were deleted for not following the rules.

[Chaos]

So your answer to your dislike is to antagonize further? That's a logical,well thought out response. Oh wait NO it ISN'T.
I have no problems with the guy. If I ever need to have a good debate he's the man. I need say no more than that.

[Prospero]

Nope - bottom slave
I delete posts which are:
1. In contravention of the general rules of this site - ie advertising spam or links to stolen content sites
2. Offensive posts - like the crude and offensive remarks you made about Wendy Williams recently.

That is the only post of yours that has been deleted.
Play nice or argue all you like but stay within this sites rules and no one is going to touch you or your largely dumb posts.

[bottomXOslave]

never said anything rude in this thread lol
I Am playing it nice ...

[Prospero]

Thanks Chaos.

[msharrow]

Prospero has valid opinions and shares them with us-unlike most lurkers here.

[Chaos]

I come to notice he deletes posts that aren't convenient to him. LOL

Agree??

This is what is known as calling someone out....Passive Aggressive much?
Playing nice? Hardly.

And no need for thanks Prospero,just being honest.

[Jericho]

Didn't realize he was one...He's got a light touch for a fat fukker! :shrug








I'll get me coat! :hide-1:

[Willie Escalade]

As a moderator on another (non TS-related) forum, I can say it can be a thankless job. Believe me there are some posts I'd delete (and some folks I'd ban), but a few of those posts actually offer up some true discussion.

Personally, I have no problems...but then again, I rarely post anything problematic in the first place.

So does Santa.....HEY wait a minute!!! They're never in the same room at the same time either......Prospero IS Santa Claus!! OH DAMN!!! :nervous:
Another good thing? He knows when we are just having a laugh.

I was a moderator for a gay forum. I look forward on being one here also. I hope :party:

With the can of worms you just opened bud, best of luck to you in your quest, gonna be a short one.....

I like Prospero as a mod and a valued member here.

As for bottomXOslave, I don't think anyone would care if he left and never came back...

[Quiet Reflections]

I have to say I always liked prospero

[MdR Dave]

You don't have to be here long to see that Prosperous is a decent, thoughtful person. He's a good choice for mod, as are the others. Never had cause to complain.

Any attention is better than no attention- is that it, BottomXO?

[tsadriana]

Yes Prospero will be a brilliant moderator .

[Dino Velvet]

When I found out Prospero was a mod I smiled too.

Always love fighting over the radio in the music thread.

[tsdvdman]

But does he have the power to bring people back. That is the question..
because Darryl Washington is banned but there are dudes on here (like the ones you pointed out in this thread) who say and antagonize more than Darryl ever did. I think with Darryl it's a personality issue..or to be frank..it could be a racial issue.
Nevertheless, he gets clowned and banned but the extreme level of tolerance towards others is an acceptable part of the environment. They have to literally threaten bodily harm to a girl and they still might be posting here. Whereas Darryl usually only responses with banter or personal humor info stuff. SMH

[danthepoetman]

I only realized recently that he was a moderator. There’s so much freedom in here you hardly realize there is moderators around.
As to the choice of Prospero as a mod, come on! who could imagine a better one? He’s intelligent, measured in his comments, even when it’s a subject he has at heart, he’s articulated, never has anything gratuitously malicious to say about anybody, he’s respectful of everyone, whatever they like and whoever they are. Personally, not knowing that he was, if I had to choose one, it would be Prospero.
As to bottomXslavanbilderass, ever since he arrived here, he’s been nothing but denigrating to almost everyone and constantly antagonizing. The mere fact that he’s still around is an amazing testimony to how much freedom of speech and thoughts we have on this forum, and how good and tolerant the mods are in general, and Prospero in particular.

[trish]

Prospero has shown nothing but intelligence, even handedness, forbearance and moderation. He has never ignored nor misapplied the rules of these forums; nor can I imagine him ever doing so. I hope he chooses to keep up the good work.

I don't think it was your point. It sounded like you were saying that the moderators were not being consistent and that there were many people more offensive than Daryl. Then you said that the reasons were either personality or race.

I think it's difficult to be consistent because the moderators here try to be lenient. Imagine everyone who had a complaint about someone not getting banned attributing it to racial bias on the part of the moderators. The moderators banned both fastingforlife and one of his cronies for making offensive comments about African-Americans in the Trayvon Martin thread did they not? I thought it was justified. Could they have banned more individuals? Perhaps, but the moderation has been fairly lenient here.

Look around and you'll see a number of people of every background who have gotten a free pass or two. Also, did you notice that Daryl has over a thousand posts and bottomslavewhatever has only sixty something. Did it occur to you that maybe he has not been banned yet because he hasn't posted enough of his generally obnoxious posts?

I also think it's pretty audacious to quote Dan's post and say that this was "precisely (your) point" when he was saying the moderators do a good job and you were saying approximately the opposite.

[broncofan]

BTW, I also think Prospero will make an excellent moderator. He has shown that he is unbiased, intelligent, but also not afraid to speak his mind when the occasion calls for it.

At least you've now made it easier for the moderators to ban you:).

Actually..I stand by my point.
Overall..I think there is a large degree of tolerance for freedom of expression and leniency in letting people express their opinions, and differences of opinions on this forum. However, I do think Darryl has become the "HA poster child" of being banned mainly because he is black and because of his personality. This is nothing new..it's merely a microcosm of what happens quite often in larger societies and institutions.
Darryl said nothing more or less obnoxious than anyone else..in fact..most of his post were humored in nature and/or of a "gotcha" nature.
A ts member here berated him with racist rants, threats of violence.etc, and this person now works for "the company". I understand the politics, I'm just saying if you want to be fair..this brother has been blatantly treated unfairly.
BTW..I don't know Darryl never met him.

While I agree that HA's admin and mods are extremely tolerant, I don't agree with your assessment of bottomxoslave's posting behaviors. He did start out extremely antagonistic, critical, and offensive, but after the conflict between you, me, and JenniferParisHusband, I noticed bottomxoslave calmed down dramatically. Perhaps that was only a temporary alleviation, but before last night's posts I'd even go as far as saying bottomxoslave had been behaving cordially.

I never said you knew him, that was bottomslave. If you have a hunch I'm not saying you're not entitled to it. I know how it is to believe something without having all the concrete details to lay out. I just think you should have something a little bit more substantive before you say the administrators are racist.

I don't disagree that it may have been a personality conflict, I just don't see any evidence that the moderators have treated people of different backgrounds differently.

[Bobzz]

Since the question is essentially whether Prospero makes a good mod, I'd have to say "Hell yes"; he's intelligent, articulate and entertaining, and thus far he's done a fine job of "clown control". If the question was, should bottomxoslave be banned, I lean towards "yes" simply because I have little tolerance for stupidity and think that the board was better off before he started asking everyone what they thought of his ass.

That's a fairly obvious double-standard. Transsexuals around HA get preferred treatment. They're allowed far more leniency than the admirers around HA because... well, frankly; they can be a source of income for Grooby. That's vastly oversimplifying everything, but it's more-or-less the truth. It's not as though the admirers are getting banned on first offenses, though. More often they're warned multiple times and continue to retaliate or break rules. Darryl wasn't any different in that regard. While it may be true that he was banned over having a racist conversation provoked by one of the girls, you can't claim that was the one and only time he had ever crossed the line. While it is a tad unfortunate that the same girl is now working for Grooby, that's just how this shit operates.

Report the offending posts. I (or the other mods) don't often get the opportunity to see every post - if I get reports on an offending member, I look at the post immediately.
Thanks

[GroobySteven]

Darryl said nothing more or less obnoxious than anyone else..in fact..most of his post were humored in nature and/or of a "gotcha" nature.

Clearly you missed many of his posts. He's been far more offensive than most and I'm offended you'd think he'd be banned because of his race. He's banned because he's a right twat.

[tsdvdman]

I respect your opinion but I never called anyone racist. That would be ignorance.
You can subscribe to a system of discriminatory practices and bias without being racist.
As far as something "substantive". You said yourself that Darryl had a few thousand post..meaning..he was a regular posting member of this community. Everyone also knew him for his shameless self promotions of loving trannies of all levels of transition..etc. He never threatened to hurt or kill anyone (like others have done). There are other popular dudes here (non black) who have had epic battles going on with certain girls..and they get asked to be judges for porn awards. I'm just calling it like it is.
This kind of "broad brush" discrimination has become so normal that people who are defending it are doing so blindly and without ill-intent

Erm what part of his post did you not read oh yes maybe it was this part below:dancing:

I had a feeling Prospero had friends in high places then it turns out he was in the high place shock horror lol, got to say on the whole I like him as he is diplomatic, cordial, an intellectual and something of a gentleman I say this in spite of the fact that I suspect he was the one who had a hand in banishing me from this forum for a year (and didn't know you get warnings as I never received 1):hide-1:

Should add that I think on balance that Prospero makes a good mod

I read his entire post. In order to show someone has made an adverse decision based on race, you have to demonstrate that but for that person's race they would not have been banned. This is the logical standard courts apply in civil rights cases although they don't apply it to forum bannings:). It's very difficult to demonstrate that race was the deciding factor when the person in question has gotten into a lot of confrontational situations with the site owner. Would Daryl have gotten banned if he were white? I think so.

You also didn't really present a relevant comparator group. This is a site based around transsexuals providing entertainment. It is part of the dynamic as Grimfusion said above, even unavoidable that on average the administrators are going to be more lenient when it comes to transsexuals. You may not think that's fair, but it's a far cry from race-based animus.

Finally, I understand tsdvdman's last claim that maybe there's some sort of unconscious bias applied against African-Americans in which certain characteristics are tolerated in the majority culture but not from minorities. A good example of this would be if an outgoing white guy is considered "quirky" whereas an outgoing black guy is considered "obnoxious". The same behavior may be interpreted differently based on people's sublimated prejudice. Again, I think it's one thing to say you think that's a general phenomenon and another to say it's operative in a given case. I just haven't seen anything really tangible suggesting it is.

[Stavros]

I think most of us on HungAngels can deal with robust comment, whether it is a disagreement about who is the sexiest ts in the world, whose music is the best or the worst, Obama or Romney, or the cost of an escort. Arguing is not in itself a problem, even when it descends into childishness, as recently when I and some other posters were described as 'functionally illiterate', a 'moron' and so on, which anyway tells you more about that poster than it does about me or the other targets of a posters ire.

The difference must be posts that target individuals in a manner that is not fair on this forum because it wouldn't be fair in real life. If there are reasons why many people retain their anonymity on this forum, it is because you never know who is browsing it -and people with no interest in transexuals do browse, I am sure- but also because there are some people who either don't have social skills, or think they can say anything they like and claim the right of free speech.

We have to trust that our moderators will be lenient in all but the most extreme cases; and if we think someone has been banned for no good reason, I assume we can appeal the decision. For what its worth, I enjoy the diversity of opinion, I enjoy the madness, the craziness, the zany posts, the information and entertainment I get and I reckon 99% of fellow members here are decent people. This is one of those cases where the 1% need attention every now and then, which is why we need moderators.

[danthepoetman]

Haven’t been around long enough to judge of Daryl’s precise situation. This being said, I gather that even humour sometimes may have limits, especially if it’s constant.
And yes, we have to respect contingencies, if you allow the expression: we are on a privately owned porn forum indeed, and we all have to respect that.
As far as I’m concerned, I haven’t felt in any circumstance so far any type of racial or ethnic discrimination here. But maybe am I wearing rosy eyeglasses.

You're right, Grim, I guess I should stand corrected on that one; although I don't think he's been "cordial", and not by a long shot, I admit he hasn't been as bad since this unpleasant beginning. It's true.

[flabbybody]

Please don't go on strike!

[lifeisfiction]

I treat this board as being a guest a someone's house. Their house, their rules. They are not required to act in manner that is logical even though we hope they do. If it becomes unpleasant then I guess its time to go to another person's house to hang out. All and all if the place is fair and open then people will stay. Which is why the job of mod is tough, you won't be liked by everyone no matter how friendly. Thats my 2 cents (its amazing what you can do when you rub two pennies together.)

[Prospero]

Well I think I better retire now!

Two things. Moderators can't ban anyone. We can just delete posts and that's about it really (or move them from one forum to another... )

And we can't re-instate someone who has been banned.

That's in the gift of the owner of this site Seanchai... the best moderator of all. (do i get a brown nose award for that?)

[fred41]

Didn't know he was a moderator...but I don't/wouldn't have a problem with it.



BTW...Who are all the moderators on this site?....Are all the original mods still mods?

well now that we know you can't ban anyone, perhaps I'll change my opinion. (recall when you recommended banning me for being a racist?) Not your finest moment.

So let's take a look at the literal meaning of moderator...

. one who presides over meeting, assembly or discussion....ok...perhaps you've grown since your unfortunate outburst against me

. one who arbitrates .........Let's hope it's not a political discussion you're asked to arbitrate as you're known to be to the left of Bernie Sanders

. non partisan presiding officer uh-oh....that's a problem as you come to the table with an inherent bias, so we'll see what happens over on the Political Boards.

So to answer the OP's question...."Do you guys like Prospero as a Mod"

I have no opinion.... but there was a time here when almost none of us knew who the mods were. I think Flabby was one, but the fact we didn't know is a good thing. I thought debates needed moderators, not porn sites, but I could be wrong.

[Dino Velvet]

Daryl said I was his favorite White person the other day. Racist statement but also a compliment and I took it that way. I think he's still active here.

We're in a virtual environment, so we should go by the virtual meaning, not the literal meaning.:roll:

[Ryz]

I downloaded adblock exclusively for bottomslaves picture. It was getting to me way too much

[Prospero]

I will respond to OMK's post with regard to one point. Yes i did call for you to be banned - though I don't recall the details. It probably was about racism. (and it was way before i was given the privilege of being a moderator)

What i did object to stringently - and put out in public at the time - was your wholly false and libellous claim that i was 'a known anti semite." A claim made totally without foundation and which you totally refused to withdraw or apologise for. It was and remains a lie. It was, sadly, typical of your approach to the truth.

But since then i have become a mod...and your lie is still here should anyone care to read it. I do NOT remove things like this - a personal attack on me by someone whose extreme right wing credentials are very well known.

As for being left of Bernie sanders. No idea who he is. (I do now - just googled him. A perfectly good and honourable man from Vermont)

But I am curious how OMK believes he can label me a radical left winger. I argue on my political postings for moderation in the face of the most right-wing GOP the US has ever seen. I do not advocate anything which a sane view of politics could be construed as being "far left." But then of course some of the Righ Wingers have taken to calling Obama a communist. So... well there i rest my case on this.

And as for the political forum - I have never censored, altered or removed any remarks there by anyone including you (who I dislike more for your slapdash handling of truth and lies and crude propagandising than your politics). That part of this site is an open house for crazy and poisonous thought - like yours. I believe wholeheartedly in free speech.

I thought debates needed moderators, not porn sites, but I could be wrong.With the amount of debating on here, hell yes we need moderators!I think Prospero is an excellent choice. As for his having an inherent bias, find me a human who does not have one. Personally I think Prospero does a much better job than most of us, including you and me, of keeping it to himself.

And what does the fact that this is a porn board have anything to do with the need for moderation. Is it your opinion that people who work in the pornography industry and those of us who view them are less deserving of respect than the rest of society? SMH

You've only been here since 2008, so I don't know how you remember "there was a time when almost none of us knew who the mods were". JWBL, NYCe, HollywoodBuckstrap and more were known as mods and active participants in the forum.

How's it going?Thank you. I'm doing pretty good, still waking up on the green side of things. Spend most of my time on Twitter and TGflix these days, but I've lurked on here some too.

Had to back up Prospero on this deal, he's always been very nice to me.:-):-)

[dryriser]

I hadnt realised till now Mr P was a mod, Im sure he will do a fine job. He's quite possibly the most knowledgable punter on here.:party:

[BluegrassCat]

Glad to hear it. Prospero is a great choice. I was just thinking he or Dino should be the HA member judge for the Tranny Awards. Is being a mod a conflict of interests?

[Genetic]

I never said you knew him, that was bottomslave. If you have a hunch I'm not saying you're not entitled to it. I know how it is to believe something without having all the concrete details to lay out. I just think you should have something a little bit more substantive before you say the administrators are racist.

I respect your opinion but I never called anyone racist.

Sure you did, in the 2 posts quoted below. If you're going to make serious accusations against people don't later try and pretend you didn't.


I think with Darryl it's a personality issue..or to be frank..it could be a racial issue.


However, I do think Darryl has become the "HA poster child" of being banned mainly because he is black and because of his personality.


But that aside, I had no idea Prospero was a mod. It makes sense though as he's on here a lot of the time and always seems pretty reasonable. The guy seems to have far more experience and knowledge on ts girls than anyone else UK based so it's good to have him here.

LOL..Stop tryin to put words in my mouth
"Racial Issue" and "because he is black" doesn't=RACIST
In this case what it does show is a total lack of tolerance for someone who is popular and black,,,but is inconsistent with how other people who say and post worse things are given a much longer lease.
To be quite frank...Senchei has been influenced by some of the girls and a lot of the dudes who just didn't like the guy out of jealousy.
It's like the CEO going to lunch with the chatter box secretaries

[whatsupwithat]

I think I remember Prospero from back in the day. He's a mod now? Good to hear.

/2 cents

Yeah Prospero is a good bloke - I trust him.

actually he's banned because people have little patience for him due to his past antics which include making racial comments (against black woman),transphobic comments,posting others personal information and trying to steal another girls website content and pass it off as his own.
it has nothing to do with being black.a scum bag is a scum bag regardless of race

[Boomerang Man]

Prospero has reached "exalted status". Therefore, he should have conjugal rights over all escorts posting on here. :salad

[GroobySteven]

You're such a cock.
I banned him for things he said about ME personally as well as other people on other boards and social networks as well as this. I actually reached out to him at one point but he's a cunt and he's going to remain that way.
You can fuck off as well if you keep insisting on making comments and accusations which you obviously don't have a clue about.

Wow..your pettiness extreme pettiness amazes me.
I've never cursed you or called you a name or anyone else on this board for that matter. Only state my opinion through conversation on a thread like everyone else. Maybe I struck a nerve..
What you just said to me warrants a Ban..lol

[trish]

Poor Prospero,
Now doomed to spend his days exhiled,
Marooned upon this virtual isle,
Harassed by horny prong-ed angels here to pass the while.

[GrimFusion]

Good thing you're not the forum administrator then, eh?
I've got nothing against an opinion and I'd imagine you'd agree, but Darryl knew most of his posts were insinuating, belligerent, and inciting. I find it quite impossible you wouldn't admit the same since back in the day, you were one of the few guys around HA that commonly agreed with him. If anyone should know just how creepy and troll-like Darryl was, it should be you.

It seems like anyone who has been around long enough to remember Darryl still recalls precisely why he was banned and doesn't want him back. You're about the only dude arguing in his favor. I can't help but wonder if that's because you're trying to defend your buddy, or that you haven't yet realized you're practically on your own in his support. Which is it?

[LittleGuy]

Maybe I missed something, what happen to the other mods?

Is Johnny Walker Black Label still a moderator as well?

[GroobySteven]

You did strike a nerve - you called me a racist and a liar.

[RallyCola]

i say we stop debating about who is a good moderator and not and just debate about more important things

[Dino Velvet]

That fat bastard, Prospero, ate them! :shrug

Is Prospero fat? He seems like around 160 lbs the way he types.

[Prospero]

RallyCola - gotta agree with you on this

[GroobySteven]

Yes.

[GroobySteven]

Nothing.

[Prospero]

And is this how you visualise me Jericho?

[Dino Velvet]

How much do you weigh, Prospero?

[RallyCola]

And is this how you visualise me Jericho?

can't fat men get some love?

[Prospero]

of course they can - especially if they got a lotta money!

[Prospero]

Six foot tall 154 pounds

[Dino Velvet]

Only off by 6 pounds!

[RallyCola]

fuck then its a good thing i'm rich and can write scripts

[Jericho]

And is this how you visualise me Jericho?

Not really, just a bit of a Wah!

You've had the pleasure of Sammi V and Lady Harkness...At the same fukkin time...It helps me to visualize you that way!
Same way I imagine Christian has hairy palms!

Just bitter and twisted. :shrug
:dead:

[Prospero]

Scripts RallyCola? Interesting.....

[ed_jaxon]

6'0 154?


You're a tub o goo!

Seriously though I did not know you were a mod so congrats. One of the few I would have voted for.

[ed_jaxon]

Can I be a mod???

Can I get kicked in the balls???

Both seem about as pleasant.

[SammiValentine]

[Prospero]

154 = a tub of goo? Did I do my sums wrong - 11 stone in UK measure?

[SammiValentine]

Can I get kicked in the balls???

do both at same time for the maximum pleasure ;-)

[Prospero]

Oh Sammi - everything in moderation in my view

[ed_jaxon]

I was being facetious. Around here 154 is prepubescent.

I am 6'0 175 and I swear every time I go home my mother encourages me to eat.

[Wendy Summers]

Moderation is what quitters cry when they don't have the guts to claim it all!

At 225 I think I moved into a lighter weight class at HA. Used to be in Sumo Class last year at 310.

Prospero is now "The Glaze" of HA.

Hahahah I envy very very few people and I hate him more every day lol. Especially after looking at his site and seeing the who's-who of TS and GGs that he's fucked...and he's gotten to creampie Domino Presley.

That dude must have sold his soul or some shit and if I ever meet him I'll officially award him with his "Luckiest Man in the World" badge.

[tsdvdman]

You did strike a nerve - you called me a racist and a liar.

No, you didn't see my warning to him earlier? I've just got up and seen that, he's outta here.

[JenniferParisHusband]

I've had issues with Bottom before. He's a troll, he picks on people because he doesn't get attention anywhere else. I think he believes that if you can't be loved, be hated, at least people are paying attention. I used to pick on him for fun, but he's a joke. I won't miss him a bit.

[rockabilly]

And now for something completely different

Prospero seems to be a decent guy, I don't post as much as I used to so.has their been some mods leaving?
Or a coup by the tyranny maffia?

Either way people should respect other posters and still engage in debate and share opinions.

[Chaos]

And now for something completely different


Damn....I was expecting the Spanish Inquisition (there's always one exception to the rule)...

[Lovecox]

I like Prospero as the rightful Duke of Milan!

"Hell is empty

The most appropriate quote I could find for HA in the text of The Tempest!

All i can say is that the modaretors are doing a great job in here.....For i all i can say that sometimes i go over the top with my statements and i should be kicked big time in the arse...from here .....But now i try to be more " the good member " if im allowed.Anyway i apologies andi try my best to type less .But being modaretor is not an easy job and i apreciate their efforts.

Adriana, your style is unique and we all love you for it. Please don't ever change.

And just for once, I'm being absolutely serious.

[danthepoetman]

Adriana, your style is unique and we all love you for it. Please don't ever change.
:iagree:

And once again, about Prospero, who would be better, frankly? He’s a good, well balanced, educated and especially, respectful man. I can’t think a better choice could have been made.
The level of freedom on HA is through the roof. No one should have anything to complain about, it seems to me.

[onmyknees]

All this hostility and anger....I'm getting turned on

[danthepoetman]

All this hostility and anger....I'm getting turned on
LOL :)
Yes. There’s something between you and Prospero, OMK. But I find that in the end, it’s essentially political, isn’t it? I’ve learn over time not to expect harmony when you talk politics with anyone; it’s always a delicate subject. I try to avoid it as much as I can when it turns badly. Moderator's job is surely not easy...
But all in all, we have very open discussions and debates on HA. You’ve been here a while, OMK, I’m sure you know it better than I do.

[rockabilly]

Damn....I was expecting the Spanish Inquisition (there's always one exception to the rule)...

"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! "

[asianphoenixx]

Nope - bottom slave
I delete posts which are:
1. In contravention of the general rules of this site - ie advertising spam or links to stolen content sites
2. Offensive posts - like the crude and offensive remarks you made about Wendy Williams recently.

That is the only post of yours that has been deleted.
Play nice or argue all you like but stay within this sites rules and no one is going to touch you or your largely dumb posts.

love the answer.
I'm glad you are a moderator now my friend!

[Roberto27]

always look out for his comments as i know i can trust them especially when it comes to the reviews a lifesaver. Glad to see him as a moderator

I like Prospero, he seems like a good bloke to me, a gentleman and a scholar as they say :)

[youngblood61]

Yes, Prospero is a good guy.

[robertlouis]

I like Prospero as a moderator and a good friend. I'm very proud of that.

[nysprod]

Besides the question of Propero as a mod, I had to ask myself how I like being a Str8 Daddy who covers the spectrum from femboys to ultra TGirls to everything in between.

I like both.

[Prospero]

Thanks Robert Louis. The cheque is in the post.

[martin48]

Thanks Robert Louis. The cheque is in the post.

Let's do it this way. You post me cheque and then I'll write something nice. Fair?

Well, it seems the majority agrees (that includes me): He is a jolly good fellow!

He's the right man in the right place at the right time.

Alrighty then :dancing:

[buttslinger]

He's OK, I guess......

[Prospero]

Where is Ariel, Buttslinger?

[ed_jaxon]

A thankless job which makes him the target of insults.

He does it well.

I think I speak for all of us on this side of the pond, We would all love to see you over here one day.
