Good times, eh?

It sounds like you four oldies are having a private, exclusive conversations with each other.

and thank God for that too!
I guess we'll all see won't we?
It appears WANKER has gone to a final repose
Never say Never.
It appears AshyPhoenix went inactive about 1/25.
Yeah, self imposed break as far as I know, he said see you guys in a few days.
I see that Chance is on a bit of a holiday as well.
Someone acted very unkind to him after he fell off the wagon.
I dearly wish they wouldn't do that. People think that tough love works, but most of the time, it doesn't--it merely demoralizes the victim.
It all reminds me of that line from the Wizard of Oz, after the Cowardly Lion fainted:
Dorothy, speaking to the Wizard: "Shame on you, frightening him that way, when he came to you for help!"
Author of Lost in a Dream. If you want to make me smile, read it and tell me what you think.
I see tough love as pointless in a situation where I can't, as a close friend or relative, actually put the person in my car and drive them to getting help. If you're giving "tough love" over the internet it's just a euphemism for being mean imo. Tough love isn't about just giving someone a rough and negative analysis of themselves and walking away. It involves follow up and an intent to do whatever it takes to make the help happen the way it needs to.
When someone comes here open about their problem, and their need for help, and their acknowledgment of needing that help, and talks about their plan and appointments to get that help, showing support isn't "burying your head in the sand." It's showing support. None of us are in any position to effect any real-life influence on whether or not someone gets help or improves. It's all we can do here. Tough love here is just "I'm gonna be negative."
I would consider some of my posts to Refuji to have been some variant of "tough love" but the truth is I can't control where he goes with any of it-- so harping on him nonstop about anything is just being mean and it's not productive.
I thought illgetbi was a complete douche in how he responded to Ashy, but I'm just pointing out how Johann seems to have the polar opposite approach, which doesn't seem right either (and allows him to be taken advantage by trolls).
I think a happy medium between the two is best.
I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt Ashy was affected by anything illgetbi said. He has a LOT tougher skin then that, and a quick enough wit to fire back scathing replies that would melt off anyone's face.
Ashy was taking time off earlier, and I believe he just popped back on long enough to let everyone know he was (for the most part) doing ok and still alive - and probably to stop me from spam posting his FB letting him know people here were worried about him.
Buzzer is a troll. Make him leave!
Buzz off, Buzzer.
Balls to the walls hella fuckin awesome.
I would agree.
Ashy would tell you that a few years ago, no one was as hard on his ass as I was....and you know what I mean so get your heads out of the gutter.
I have made it clear to him that no matter how we sometimes slide...he is always safe and welcome here...everyone only wants the best for him because he has been an inspiration to so many.
I think everyone sees what a good, kind, clever and very human person that he is.
I don't think that illgetbi did any harm in his response...but he may have made Dante realize that it was time to get serious about coming back to an optimal state of health.
I love them both like brothers oddly enough and I won't hear anything bad about either of them. They are as imperfect as I am...so I enjoy their company.

As I said in another thread... Wanker90. He was legendary... someone everyone should emulate. I'm sure guys won't mind when you take photos of their butts in Bestbuy. I wish they didn't ban him![]()
What psychopathy is this?

I can already hear the complaints.
* "This video promotes gay-bashing!"
* "Come on - neither of those guys are really gay. They're only gay-bash-for-pay."
* "Why doesn't that guy shave? Doesn't he care how he looks? Body hair is GROSS!"
* "JUB models are fugly. Get that guy from that pay website to beat up that other guy from that other pay website, and then fuck him, and then post the video here for free! Or I'll stop visiting this website!"
* "Where the fuck is the lemon curd?"

"I'd pay extra to see his ass kicked bareback."
"Can you buy that lemon curd somewhere? The one with the spooge in it?"
