Regarding kewlJ:

I will be happy to see whatever proof he has to present to me. And I will keep everything confidential, of course.

I have nothing against kewlJ. I think he makes quality posts here when he's not lying or complaining about something. I'm being serious here, not sarcastic. It seems we sometimes have "good kewlJ" who makes thoughtful contributions in the topics being discussed, and then we have "bad kewlJ", who is either lying or complaining. More of good kewlJ would be appreciated.

I still don't understand why there's ever a need to lie in order to protect your privacy. Changing small details is totally fine. So, for example, if I were anonymous and posted about a play I ran at a casino in September 2019, but didn't want to be identified by any casino personnel reading, I might fudge it and claim I ran the play in May 2019. That's a meaningless detail change, and doesn't affect the veracity of the story being told.

But inserting extraneous details like a phantom lawsuit? Just makes no sense to me.


Additionally, kewlJ (and now redeitz) seems to frequently complain what I "allow" or "endorse". That's nonsense. kewlJ, you are very aware exactly what this forum is and isn't. You always have been. You chose to participate here actively, and that potentially comes with all the trolling, bashing, and off-color remarks. Everyone else here is subject to the same treatment. Look at how Rob was mercilessly mocked when his various hoaxes were torn apart.

Some things are posted here which I don't agree with. They stand because this is a free speech forum. I try to look at the individual posters involved and the seriousness of the thread before deciding whether or not to interfere.

If people trolled you with gay jokes in a serious thread, I would remove the messages and ask the users not to disrupt it with such speech. If you're caught making up tall tales about lawsuits and acting indignant when people question it, I'm less inclined to play language police.

I don't bash gay people on PFA. I've said on the forum and on my radio show that I think gay people should just be their authentic selves, come out, and be with whomever makes them happy. In general I am very big on people just being who they really are, and not what others tell them they should be.

It does not bother me in the slightest that you're gay. I just wish you'd understand that the lying and the subsequent condescending attitude are what's putting people off.
