Fellow posters and cyber amigos, thanks for supporting me. I, for one, have NOT and do NOT believe in demeaning anyone here as well as in the real world. What enhancement does it bring? Thus, I am NOT going to dignify the remarks mvan1 made in regard to my error and his "blowing it out of proportion" beyond natural limits. I've apologized to the OP; I will not remark about my initial writing anymore. I will NOT participate in a tic for tac caustic game, name calling, the putting down of one over something that is rather insignificant, etc.... To correct myself: I'd meant to write Caribbean (Cuba) instead of Central America. I know Mvan1 does NOT plan to travel there until we Americans can travel there on our own free will, but he apparently does remember our public and private communication about this! I'll let it rest from here! So, guys, let us ALL move on and continue to write helpful and informative comments and pages about what and why this forum was initially formed. Let's continue to support instead of ridiculing and demeaning! Let's try to "AGREE to DISAGREE!" As I told a group of Board members on several occasions, "Leave your egos at the door!" In our case, "don't let our fingers type and post!" Let us ask ourselves if what we're writing any benefit to anyone who reads and/or write here!!!!

You're so right! We're all here for the same reason, we all like handsome, hunky men. Drop the bitterness guys!

Agreed cats retract your claws and return to your respective ends of the sandbox

Can we return to regular programming and discuss hot boys????

And the only thing you seem to report of value (at least in your mind) is to scold another poster. Maybe you can find another useless Rio Times article to bore us with. I am sure most of us are much more interested in what Axiom reports then your posts which by the way are 10% of what Axion has contributed to this Board.

I am NOT bitter although I was the one who was very unnecessarily attacked. I am above being vindictive! But, Ojibear, I know what you mean and meant and completely agree! Now lets leave this page for Tom's recanting of his adventures during the last month of 2015!!!!!! Admin Note: I moved all the posts after this one here so you can debate with each other and not mess up Tom's thread. I did it first with this tread and every one after.

"Tom's RECOUNTING of...." Mvan1, Stop trying to teach. Our fingers make mistakes; our minds out-think them at times. Men, as you know, we ALL make mistakes, some more frequently than others! RECANT means to take back! I KNOW the difference between the two words. Guess I will have to continue to proofread much more carefully since we have an editor present.

There is an outlet of the Casa Do Alemao in Leblon on Rua Ataulfo de Paiva. Good and not so expensive. Cheaper than Casa Ullrich in Centro. Something different if one is overloaded on the a quilo restaurant buffets.

Take the teleferico over the Complexo de Alemao. One can get an integracao rail pass at Central for the train to get there and the teleferico. Get off and on as often as you wish. Return trip on the teleferico is free. Trains run frequently. Go to Abrico for gay nude beaching.

In some ways the aircraft pilot community feels the same way. Where are the new and "talented" pilots coming from? They are technically trained but have very litte experiece with the "real" world. Much the same might be said for posters. Where are the "new" and enlighted, experienced posters coming from? I know not where. I would like to be hopeful that they are here and willing but are only waiting upon an invitation to speak. SPEAK! Best regards, RA1

Just wait. Some people doubted me when I said that there was no possibility of the bay getting at all in cleaned up in time for the games in past posts. I haven't even let my dogs swim in the bay in about two years. There were riots on the Avenida Paulista yesterday with tear gas and flying waves of police on foot, motorcycles and SUV's. UFRJ hospital in Rio on Ilha Fundao near the airport has stopped taking in any patient other than emergencies. No more elective surgeries. A UERJ hospital that specializes in HIV cases is not taking any new patients and is closing 165 current beds, Third party employees have not been paid in six months, No money for supply purchases either. It was announced that the athlete's village for the Games will not have air conditioning as there is no money. UERJ near Maracana has no money to pay third party employees. i.e. Cleaners and security as well as students on scholarship are not getting their money. And so it goes. Oh, and Dilma faces impeachment by the legislators. One is Romario, ex-football star and current senator and Cunha, leader of the Camara or House of Representatives, who have both been found to have multiple illegal accounts in Switzerland worth millions. The Line 4 Metro is supposed to start in June, 2 months before the games. However, they still have 700 meters to drill and they are now in the worst stretch of the whole works to finish. And at least two stations are not close to being done. Gavea/PUC will definitely not be open in time for the games. Dirty water in Guanabara Bay? It has only been getting worse over the past 3 years. What's a MRSA or worse among some water sports athletes. This place will be an armed camp if the government wants to avoid what happened on the Avenida Paulista in SP yesterday.

Not that i'm any Kissinger but if the both of you were to sign a solemn oath to put (and keep) the other on ignore, would that bring you both a bit of peace?

Oh, my English is perfectly fine. Apparently, your mathematical analysis skills need some work, though. A survey of one is not a scientifically acceptable poll. 51% of the board members? Again, was a poll conducted? Look, it's clear that you're an internet troll with wayyyyyyyyyy too much time on his hands. You're probably also a troll in real life as well. Nevertheless, until you can show that a quorum of the board members were surveyed, and over half of them agree with you, then your statement attacking mvan is just conjecture on your part, and is a personal attack. Just as it is conjecture that you probably look like a fucking troll (but that is easily provable by asking the boys at the saunas that you visit if they hold their noses and close their eyes while they take your money). I don't know you, mvan or axion from a hole in the wall. However, I can guarantee you that it wouldn't take very much at all for me to find out who you were if you regularly visit these spots in Brazil, and I actually truly cared enough to do it. So, if you have some issue with this poster mvan, it would be advisable for you to stop trolling him on the Internet. Trolls like you aren't as protected behind computer screens as they like to believe they are.

You actually think that it is impressive that you have way too much time on your hands to have accumulated hundreds of posts at this message board? And that places you in some select, coveted, social group? Seriously? What are you, 13 years old and in junior high? You remind of me of those awkward girls in junior high school that were so desperate to be noticed and popular that they would form their own "exclusive" clubs with each other that no one else wanted to be in, anyway.

Most of us does not have to include you who has a whopping 40 posts here!

You're "sure most of us are"? Have you conducted a survey? I was not consulted.

The guys in Medellin compared to the guys at Thermas in Barcelona are nothing alike. Not even remotely in looks and/or behavior. While there are lots of Brazilians there, there are also many guys from different parts of the world. Try the place, you are sure to find someone you like. If you have never been to Thermas and plan to visit the place, you are in for quite a nice treat. -
