Members Lucky Posted October 19, 2009 Members Posted October 19, 2009 After a one day closure, Daddy has reopened the message center at his website. Additionally, he apologized to purplekow, explained himself on the Tommy deLuca thread, extended an olive branch to Epigonos, and responded to my commentary by clarifying his policy on showing dick. For me, that's some progress. I was allowed to make my point that I didn't like the closure, and hopefully it will be the last one. I do not expect perfection, but I do admire progress. Both this site and his exist because a sufficient number of us admire escorts. Hopefully, we can now focus on that topic. Quote
Members alanalt Posted October 19, 2009 Members Posted October 19, 2009 I read the apology to PK "if I overreacted..."(my bolds) and Daddy's 'explanation' on the Tommy thread, which shows among other things that he's willing to 'help' escorts with their gammer/spelling, when they 'revise' their rebuttals. Lucky may call that 'progress' - I'm sorry, I don't see it and I'm going to have to see more than some minor 'window-dressing' from Daddy to show me he truly understands my concerns and that he's going to make a genuine attempt to fix things I've slept on it, and my temper has cooled since yesterday, but my basic dissatisfaction with that forum and the way it's being run remain. My decision to take a break, maybe a long break, maybe a permanent break, from reading and posting on that site still feels 'right' to me. Others may (and will) feel differently, but I have to do what feels best for me. All of which means I'll have more time to spend here!! Alan Quote
Guest FourAces Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 lucky your post is trash... i am totally convinced that anyone who still posts on his mc is a sub bottom who else would take such abuse?? seriously he closes his mc on a whim no regard or respect for any poster old or now we can add people who have donated to his cause whatever it might be. how is it that a mc that is not supposed to be important, according to daddy and that is a pain to run according to daddy and that gets closed aand opened on his moods is even still online?? could the answer be that he NEEDS that mc to keep his site alive? actually he does. while deej will let us know about the percentage of visitors to the mc and all his bs he leaves out that it is a large percentage based on the somewhat small amt of traffic daddys site receives. PEOPLE STOP POSTING THERE AND POST HERE> how can OZ and ty keep this message center open without one closure and the daddy drama queen send me a donation don't need this mc bitch continue to get all the traffic. That site is so yesterday. Quote

Four Aces, I won't go so rude s to call your post trash, but you are asking people to do something that you yourself rarely do- and that is to post here. Practice what you preach! The closure was for one day. I don't think anyone suffered from it. It did raise issues, you are right on that, but I think Dadddy went further to answer them than he has before, so I am hopeful, even if I am a sub-bottom! Quote

I don't think anyone suffered from it. t did raise issues, you are right on that, but I think Dadddy went further to answer them than he has before, so I am hopeful... Lucky, when any one person can come in and shut down a whole community because he's having a bad day or is fed up, stressed out, or has run out of patience or whatever, it doesn't matter whether the shutdown lasts for one day or one week or even one hour - it's the principle of the thing. And, as for it 'raising issues', for an issue to be 'raised' it would have to be the first time this sort of thing has happened. And it's not. This was no aberration - indeed, it's become a habit: something/someone somewhere on the board 'offends' Daddy so he must announce his displeasure (in vague and general terms) and make everyone else 'suffer' too. It's like your city/town/municipal council shutting down the power for an entire block after the people in one house have engaged in a shouting match. Given the choice, I doubt few of us would accept or condone such behaviour from someone in a position of authority in the real world, so why should we accept it in cyberspace? I certainly don't blame Lucky for remaining optimistic and hopeful for positive change, after all I've been waiting and hoping for that change too for longer than I care to remember. But I'm tired of waiting in the dark and wondering whether the flashes of light on the horizon is the precursor to the sun coming up - or just the herald of another lightning storm on its way in...

Members TampaYankee Posted October 20, 2009 Members Posted October 20, 2009 It's a little bit eerie, reading some of the post shut-down comments now and from previous episodes, that I get almost a sense of the rationalization, apologies, and acceptance characteristic of spousal abuse victims. FWIW Quote
Guest twinklover Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 "It is not acceptable to harass escorts on my Message Center. Over the last few months I've watched five different escorts get flamed. My tolerance has been exhausted. If I must "alienate" people to drive the point home, then so be it. If you don't agree with the rules please go find another sandbox. Playing games just because you disagree with a moderators call will get you put on the bench. The rules can be found at: http://www.message-forum.net/tos.html The Message Center is down while I upgrade the software to the latest revision. We should be back Monday morning." That's the direct, unedited, quote. Please read it over and over again. Think about it. Drink your morning coffee and tea over it and ruminate. What does it mean? Does it not mean what it says? If it does, why all the backtracking? Is there another person or persons behind the curtain, just like in the real WIZARD OF OZ, directing the action after the latest of Daddy's meltdowns? Is that why the so-called MC is back up so soon? HMMMM. Other than just all those posters whom Daddy wishes to "alienate," is there someone (or someones) out there who are really pissed off by this?

FWIW Ty, I laughed the first time I read this, and then again the second time. Let it not be said that we are without humor at MER. On how many websites do we even know who the owner is? For me, it's two, This one and the other one. In the other cases, we don't seem to care who owns the site. But, for some reason, the owner of these sites is much more conspicuous. If I never knew who the owner was, I wouldn't even attempt to help direct the way the site is run. I would just take it or leave it. That's a pretty passive reaction. I wonder if there's a support group for that. For some reason, these community forums have become more personal. Personalities are much more important in the success of the site. Tell me where we find the perfect personality and I will show you a fraud. Just like families, there is constant re-working of relationships, arguments, good times and bad times. We stick them out because we want to participate in the life of the family. Once we decide we don't want to participate, then we stop the effort to improve the relationships. I haven't come to that point. These sites provide me entertainment and often friendship, and until they don't, I'll keep trying to improve them to the extent that I can. Over time I have come to like the owners, both of them. So shoot me if I don't hold grudges (for long!) after a fight. Quote
TotallyOz Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Over time I have come to like the owners, both of them. So shoot me if I don't hold grudges (for long!) after a fight. Some very interesting insights on your post. Thanks. I'm glad you don't hold grudges too long. I don't either. I have even tried to make up with Daddy over the years but he doesn't like me too much I guess. You not holding grudges is the best thing on earth for a healthy well being. However, the 3way idea you posted in another thread is a no go at this point. That is going too far in the make up department. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Ty, I laughed the first time I read this, and then again the second time. Now I am sad Nor one of my posts ever made you laugh Come on not even chuckle, a smile, a hmm kind of funny post by FA feeling deep inside? Just remember WHO LOVES YOU BABY ... my best online Kojack impression yet Quote

Guest FourAces Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Well, I am not Lucky but your post made me laugh over and over! Daddy would never laugh at my posts. Now that is a way to keep the customers happy, thanks OZ Quote
