I haven't been involved in the "custy" oriented strip-club boards in some time because well, candidly, I thought everything I had to be say in such forums was said, and said again, and said yet again.
Those of you who have been around for 20 something years in these venues might remember "Moresuo" a handle on the Usenet forum 'alt.sex.ass-c", or in the Yahoo NYC strip-club forum "Not A 90s Man". Both of them are me.
I had been fairly active on the "pink" side of this board, but a deluge of PM's by some of the female moderators there, and eventually a comment from Pyrce himself, let it be known to me that my comments were not exactly welcome. Oh, I was invited to continue to engage in dialog, as long as said dialog didn't ruffle any dancer feathers. This though all I did was point out the obvious 'pink' elephants that went tripping through the threads of illogic, bad temperament toward fellow human beings, and the occasional anti-social act that was being bragged about. I was accused of being "anti-dancer", when I am no such thing at all.
Let me say that again, with feeling: I am not anti-dancer! I don't give my money to people I disdain. That would be foolish, and I am not a foolish man. Hard headed to the point of being relentless, perhaps, but not foolish. [Though, the way some dancers act about it you might think that a man who gives any money to a dancer and calls himself not foolish is something of an oxymoron]
I haven't been given the boot, but it has been made abudantly clear to me that the "pink side" is the dancer area and what ever they say goes. It doesn't matter if your posts are polite, soundly grounded in the logic of how the real world works and not that of the fantasy of the S-C, if particular dancer moderators take umbridge to what you are saying then it gets deleted and you start getting the aforementioned PM's. {In fairness, some moderators made attempts to be fair, and I even received encouragement from some}
Rule number one on the pink side is: Do not refute what the dancers say, even if it is obvious that what is being said flies in the face of reason.
It doesn't particularly matter, it might seem, that the dancer making the comment is 22 years old and has the life experience of same and no formal education past high school. The man might have position, status, be worldly and possess an ivy league education. He could even be a fourty something, a gradutate of the school of hard knocks, wise beyond his years in experience and with more understanding of strip-club employ then the dancer herself; if a dancer said it and its on the pink side than it must be correct.
So, here I am. Not because I feel restricted over there [even though I do] but because the scenario, as it has unfolded, has given me a new appreciation for "over here". For it can truly be said that if I must choose between our dysfunction and theirs, I would rather deal with ours.![]()

You want to see the 'lets be loose and hang ten guy, you have to know me personally. But the security bug in me makes me willfully careful about who gets to cross the "Thorn-IRL" boundery. Ain't but a handful that can match the handle to a face. And those that can won't ever say, which is why they got to a chance to know me in real life in the first place [not that I am claiming, in any way, that anyone should actually want to].



and when all is said and done...
