There was a concerted effort to have MAL removed which I think is ridiculous. If one doesn't like what a poster is posting, just put him or her on ignore.
What's his new handle?.
:-Cool/"
Why is he banned? He always had interesting threads to read, some pissed you off, some had hot dancing women and some were just mind provoking trolling but over all the man was entertaining.
WHY, now I have to read the paper.
. It awed me that when he often referred to escorts as hookers, no one spoke up, that to me is telling, and a sad statement at that.
Interesting, mind provoking? Seriously? He continuously insulted and belittled many here,especially women in general, this industry, and those in it, and you ask why he was banned? I wondered why not sooner. Having an opinion is one thing, but intentional and continual insults is another. One can ignore but when someone sets out to be a pot stirrer and purposefully ignorant, they need to be stopped, not encouraged. It awed me that when he often referred to escorts as hookers, no one spoke up, that to me is telling, and a sad statement at that. It shows a lack of respect towards those of us who try hard to represent this profession in a positive and respectful light .Some might think it is just a name (hooker) but some also, and imo, should think, it as rude, insulting and unnecessary. As I've said before, if those of us within this industry can't show respect to one another, how can we expect those outside of it to?
Cristy you know I love you but I do disagree with you on this one. Everyone is entitled to free speech unless it's clear it is hate speech which clearly Mal never did.
It's not fair to censor someone because we don't agree with them. I didn't agree with everything he said, I don't agree with all that is said from the transgender community, the gay community, the blacklivesmatter group but I give them all their right to say their peace and I will decide on a personal level what I agree with or don't agree with. I would never try to censor and stifle their opinion.
It's somewhat a free society, let's just try to keep it that way for everyone.
I am a John and proud of it but I do agree for the purpose of battling these misguided abolitionists the words "hooker" and "john" need to be replaced with "SexWorker" and "client".
Nothing wrong with disagreeing, but as Erectile said, Mal spewed plenty of hate speech. You didn't mind what he said obviously, but others apparently did, enough so that a ban was given, that is telling. As I said, we all should be able to speak our minds but when it's done to evoke trouble, hate, etc, then it is no longer free speech it's an agenda and one with no good intent so why would anyone want it to continue?
I'm surprised Mal lasted as long as he did with his stance on transgender folks considering the obvious advertiser on this board who has a niche carved out for transgender sex workers.
This being said, I'm with MM in believing folks should be allowed to speak their mind and others need to stop being so thin skinned. If I were a sex worker and I was offended by Mal, I would use his posts as part of my screening process, in other words it is better to know what people really believe.
Oh well, back to lurking....boredom once again.
