I'm so glad I stopped in to take a look around today. I heard Rick Munroe had been banned from the site so I wanted to see what had transpired for a poster so popular and liked to have warranted such action. This is what I found:

 

Exactly. I wasn't being critical of your post at all, btw. I just trying to make a point. And contrary to what this "deej" person would like to believe, I don't care where these threads end up or if they're deleted, etc.

 

Your complete lack of respect for the forum community is noted.

 

That's it??? He dared to say that it doesn't matter to him if threads get deleted or moved? And then he was put on a "time out" like a naughty boy in school? HAHAHAHA!!!!

FYI..The posts that were the source of the controversy were deleted, so you do not have the whole story.

He was banned immediately after making the above comment, not for any previous anti-war statements.

 

Not going to argue with you Doug69, because I have zero interest in any sort of debate about the politics of certain forum members who post here, but I was involved in that thread when it all went south, pertinent threads were deleted. So I disagree with you. You should PM Frequentflyer, he might be willing to fill you in...Cheers, BVB

Sadly, I think that's part of what I sometimes find frustrating about this forum. I like participating, and find it a very valuable resource. But it sometimes seems totally arbitrary as to what the rules are, or, more importantly, how they're applied and under what circumstances. I remember a few months ago, or maybe last year, finding out that someone had been banned, and when I and others asked what happened, we were pretty much given a brush off. I'm almost certain that I'd specifically asked what the offending person had done so that I and others could know what not to do and how to self-regulate, but that concern was either not noted, or simply dismissed. Forewarned is forearmed, but sometimes I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.

 

In the present scenario, BVB's point is well taken, but I wonder if automatic deletion of supposedly offensive posts doesn't create the very problem noted by the original poster, in that it makes the disciplinary action seem unreasonable and/or arbitrary, even when it wasn't. Plus, it deprives us of the opportunity to learn from the offending party's mistake.

No, I saw all the deleted posts. Frequent Flyer attacked Rick for daring to express his opinion about the war in Afghanistan. He was not banned, despite it being a personal attack. Not was Rick banned when he responded to it. Rick was banned because he dared to refer to the Almighty Deej as "this person 'deej'." That was what got him banned. End of story.

HOW CONVENIENT!!!! This seems very similar to reviews being changed dramatically. Once again, Forum members DO HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW REASONS FOR DRAMATIC ACTIONS.

 

Seems likw there is a certain group of posters who can post anything they wish and others are penalized for expressing their points of view.

There is indeed a sense of self-importance on this site. We praise the "chosen few" escorts so highly that newbies with valid criticisms are squashed. We criticize other offending escorts so vehemently that they are run out of the business. Do we consider ourselves "kingmakers?" Many of the escorts I know say that they rarely come on daddy's anymore because of the "mob mentality" they feel they are up against . We post without thinking perhaps? Or does the anonymity make us bigger bullies? Come on guys. We can do better.

Aaahhh, thank you Becket, well said. A voice of reason among the madness....

Somewhat off-topic, but here goes.... I would like management to give some thought to discontinuing the birthday greetings initiated by one or two posters here, especially for the second year and third year birthdays of the same individuals. I have no problem with mention of the first birthday.

 

I am not crazy about the Facebook birthday tradition either, but at least is it confined to people whom you have chosen as "Facebook friends."

 

Far more important, I am really glad to see Doug69 back even if it's only for a few posts. Rick and Doug are two of the valuable people to ever post here. Rick's posts are somewhat light-hearted (excepted on gay issue and politics), while Doug has written slightly more seriously. Doug wrote the best and most widely read post I can remember on this site; the subject is plagiarism.

I should have read the thread in question, "Cheerleaders and Soldiers, 'Call Me Maybe'" before posting a few hours ago. Now I feel like an idiot for writing about birthdays.

 

I was drafted and serve in an infantry brigade in Vietnam for a year, from 1968-1969. I believe the OP of the Afghanistan thread was well meaning, but there was no way the thread was not going to go in a different direction. I remember seeing Cheerleaders, Martha Raye, Bob Hope and George Jessel and others entertainers in Vietnam. Yes, it made a very small interlude from the fighting, but very small. There was often napalm being dropped on near-by villages by the U.S. while Vietnam hawks, like Jessel and Raye, entertained. There were also American, Korean, South Vietnamese and Australian grunts and Viet Cong & North Vietnamese soldiers (as well as many Vietnam civilians) being killed in fire fights and search and destroy missions while the USO entertainers sang and danced.

 

Frankly, the entertainers mentioned above had no business being anywhere near any live action in Vietnam, and that included cities like Hue and Saigon. The entertainers put the lives of the men who protected them in danger. I can speak from personal experience, because I spent several hours driving Martha Raye, dressed in a general's uniform, around in my jeep in an area that was not safe.

 

What people back in the states think is fun and entertaining in war zone (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan) is not necessary so, even a "fun" video. A thread on soldiers in Afganistan here (or anwhere else on the Internet) is going to turn into a political discussion; there is no way around it. I do not care how many people have a "Support Our Troops" signature every time they post here.

 

I do not know exactly what happened, but I trust Doug69, and have for many years. Deej, you are partly at fault for not considering how inapproriate the thread was from the beginning. Rick, perhaps you should have held your comments, even though they were on seemingly target (but then I have not seen the entire thread because it no longer exists, except in parts). I am not crazy, so I know my post is very unlikely to resolve anything..

 

Finally, I invite anyone who served in an infantry unit in a war zone to contradict my comments.

As a long time member of this forum I am SHOCKED that Rick Munroe, of all people, would be placed on time out.

 

Second, the deletion of Derek Ross' post is troubling as well.

 

Thanks, ArVaGuy. I agree. I think the "power" of being the administrator of an escort message board has gone to deej's head. Maybe it makes him feel important to play his power games. That's one of the reasons I've rarely ever posted here. And I'm sure the same goes for many others.

Moniker battles are so much fun to watch ... from afar.

 

Sometimes one needs to just step back and relax. And if one cannot, why not trying a double Appletini or a "chill pill".

I have to agree that the "time-outs" seem to be getting increasingly aggressive and arbitrary. I don't know why that is....but it is my impression.

 

Regarding Rick Munroe's time out, I feel it's a cumulative issue rather than a single post. We all know Rick likes to push the envelope and ride along the edge of acceptability/unacceptability with his comments. I appreciate his style but others may not. I suspect Rick has been on the "watch list" for some time now. A few weeks ago, he made some classic Rick-styled comments about LBT that I felt were pretty funny and also accurate. However, I suspect that ruffled some feathers.

I agree with you that we should be told why posters are put in 'time out'. This site could use more transparency, in my opinion.

 

But as for reviews being 'changed dramatically'....when & by whom? (if you're referring to the reivew of Eli....I assume it was altered by whomever copied it & re-submitted to this site.)

The predictable paranoia and power trips of this site's administrator deej are fascinating to watch.

Banning Rick Munroe is probably the stupidest shark-jump move yet.

In Praise of Rick Munroe

 

I did not read the post that got Rick Munroe suspended, but here is my two cents generally.

 

Rick is, by far, one of the main reasons I read the Forum. He has a POV that is well-informed, sometimes educational (to me), almost always witty or off-beat, and frequently no-nonsense. I have surely not read all his posts, but the ones I recall were often critical but not mean-spirited, and I do not believe Rick was one to throw around irresponsible factual allegations (a practice tolerated on this website).

 

So, Derek, please tell Rick that he is missed.

 

Deej, the Forum is at risk of losing relevance if spirited, intelligent posters like Rick Munroe are treated badly. (BTW, Deej, I appreciate your management, for you surely do a lot of stuff that we never see.)

I second what William has said. I enjoy Rick 's posts and find them clever and amusing.

 

Be careful, guys. Each time you praise Rick, the moderators become very unhappy with Rick and me.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

 

Interestingly Daddy didn't freeze his multiple personae handles.

 

Taking into consideration all the nastiness it's spilled online and the way innocent people are impersonated it's not surprising of its author.

 

Speaking of a bad loser ...

 

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" :rolleyes:
