mr2tony - 2012-04-12 1:16 PM Yeesh wondering if the guys all talked about tying someone up and DPing them, and it was a woman, how well that'd go over. Can't you guys let a new person at least introduce themselves before starting in with the innuendo? You jumped the gun so hastily that you didn't even know it was a woman. It's fun amongst friends but if you don't know the person it just comes off as creepy and not everybody likes it. Some people are OK with it and join in and it's all good fun but if someone doesn't, we'll never see them again and TAN becomes ``that weird thread with all the innuendo.'' I mean, it already is, but can we at least TRY to be a little more subtle?

short answer NO

So you'd rather be known as ``that weird thread with all the innuendo'' and not a welcoming fun place for new people? I know of several former regulars who avoid this thread at all costs because it's too racy. So, in other words, it's become `TAN for people who like to talk about sex and make innuendo.' Which is fine, but I dunno, I think it'd be fun to talk about other things from time to time.

And I will reiterate why is your junk and better or any different from anyone else's junk except that it is your junk and you approve of it.

You're missing the point. I am asking that you don't jump on the new people the second they walk into TAN. What is wrong with saying hello and maybe, I dont know, finding out if they're male or female before asking them if they like DP and then threatening to tie them up? I do NOT do that. Because if I did, as a guy, I'd be not only creepy but probably would get kicked off BT. You have tunnel vision. Take a step back and look at it from an outsider's point of view. You will see that it's not just me. A lot of people who used to post here don't anymore and I've been told by some that it's creepy and all innuendo and they're not comfortable with that. I'm not trying to create trouble, I'm trying to improve TAN and make it more welcoming to new (and old) people.

I will give you this Tony at least you finally had the balls to say it to my face instead of sniping me as some have done AKA having Cord do your dirty work. But that likely has to do with your PMs with Cord after the one he wrote me when I asked him why he was sniping me all the time.

I am not going to sit here and defend myself against a bunch of "well you always" types of accusations as that is never a productive use of ones time. I would sit here and say I do and do not do XYZ and you do and do not do XYZ, ultimately that will get us nowhere unless you want to do some sort of stats analysis on it. I have noticed that you don't ever seem to feel like saying anything like that to many of the others. The one that has been getting sniped is me even when I wasn't around much, which with the exception of the last 2 weeks I haven't been. As far as I have seen I have been the only target so if it is about all that you say it is Where are the calls for Yanti to cut it out or Cheri Or Nic. or any of the guys? How many of them have been sniped every time they turn around? I really don't feel like playing in your little High School Cool Kids game. You want to sanitize TAN fine do not make Cord your little attack Beyotch and go after everyone including your own Hypocritical crap!

It's good we can come to a resolution like reasonable adults.

Honestly, I expected an `OK I'll tone it down a bit and sorry if I offended anybody,' not this.

We were told many moons ago before you'd even heard of BT that we were to self-police it or it'd get permanently shut down. I'm just trying to keep it `street legal.'

If I had been approached like a reasonable adult we might have come to an understanding. I was not. If you had wanted to PM me and had a reasonable conversation we might have come to a reasonable resolution. You did not. If You were not a part of Cord's group that were talking behind my back instead of talking to me then I apologize for lumping you in with whatever group that is. But when one of "the Group" snipes me constantly with out trying to have a reasonable discussion with me it does not exactly make me amenable to any discussion and when you want to call me down in an open forum without the courtesy of having a private conversation with me first it tends to make me even less amenable to an amicable resolution. Lastly when I am singled out for this treatment it tends to make me less inclined to see any point you have made as it shows me you are not looking for an across the board solution.

Isn't it great!!! You can carry on a very personal private conversation and not involve the BT community as a whole.

They show how many posts you have. Different colors are different values etc. Mouse over them and you'll see. People in TAN have alot of them.....go figure.

ETA: They can be used in case you can't recognize the number written out next to the word Posts: right above it.
