INDEPENDENCE DAY!

[Chicagoboy]

I want to declare 5/13/23 as AMPreviews Independence Day. Thank you to @topjimmy for lifting the huge weight off everyone's shoulders and letting us be true mongers again who can like, comment and post reviews without fear of being sent to exile Island. It's refreshing to see some old usernames I haven't seen in a while and I hope to see more in the future. Thank you once again @topjimmy!!!

Perhaps the site is turning the pAgE, raMmInG the old ways of doing things into the past.

Guys...can we maybe refrain from piling on?
I get it, some of you feel you've been insulted and disrespected.
But really, do you want to pile on a guy when he's down?
There are two types of mongers.
Those that monger by choice (married guys and guys with GFs), and then guys like me, who monger by necessity.
And the reason that I and those like me monger by necessity is because of the way we were treated in grade school and high school.
We were PILED ON.
I for one do not want to be that guy who was like the guys that made me what I am.
So if you feel the same way, let's not pile on and give a guy a break.
Yeah, some mistakes were made. But let's move forward without being dicks.
Just my opinion.
Choose to listen or ignore as you see fit.
Take care and happy mongering.

I think a little empathy could go a long way now. And some of his rants were pretty damn good, the Gordon Ramsay of our whore board. I was booted off a few years ago, didn't get too butt hurt. I returned as a wiser man, sort of.
I didn't miss out on getting pussy during that dark time. In fact, I got more of it because I wasn't spending all of my time on this site.

I wish Gordon well.

No I get it.
And I used that phrase more than once on the Politics thread.
But maybe we can be better than that...

I don’t know AutoSlim…. I bet you’d feel differently had you been kicked in the balls while being banned multiple times by that DBag. You seemed to have maintained the same handle. I’ve had so many handles I can’t begin to remember them all.

 

[Chicagoboy]

This post was to show appreciation to topjimmy for freeing us from the oppressive rAMPage. I don't think that's piling on anybody.

Gee Wiz
If you take into consideration my past life here and add it to my reincarnation, I’d be at 39 reviews and over 600 messages.
All over a simple question on PM to a moderator!
And for the record the mod was not topjimmy.

Um....I've been kicked in the balls and thrown into mud puddles. Yes I've been treated OK on this board.
Before that?
I doubt ANYONE would want to put their cards against mine...

And you’ve never reveled with Schadenfreude at the expense of those who threw you in the mud puddle?

Don't know.
I graduated HS in 1983.
Yes, I think they probably have significantly worse lives than mine.
But really...don't know don't care...
They are beneath me...

I understand not wanting to pile on but maybe he should apologize also?
I’m assuming he’s still a member here?

Agreed on celebrating our new beginning. Agreed we oughtn't to pile on our former Fuhrer. Agreed that we, if we are mature as we might think we are, can find a place to accept a true apology and move on.

This totally. Anybody who can claim their lives were ruined because some runt set up them the ban, well, that's silly. During my ban times, I don't feel my life was changed in any way, except that I didn't have this site to click on while sitting in an ice cream shop parking lot waiting for my appointment time. Everything else was the same. Admin just offered me any of my old accounts back, and I prefer to move on mit this new one. The universe is very big and very amazing, and sometimes the light's all shinin on me, other times I can barely see. "fight for something other than cable tv"

Well put.

Don’t forget your bible (“turn the other cheek.”).

Also: “Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” (Buddha).

BUT: “Venting can be good for the soul.” (Psychology Today)

The difference between a session with a really good provider and a mediocre provider is huge. Life ruining? No, but I’ve been well directed by this site.

If you manage to remember, let me know so we can reinstate it…especially if it had remaining credit balance.

Don’t believe he is anymore.
