Continuing to post this crap in Mandy's review thread is counter productive to the move a mod made yesterday in creating this thread. Since this debate will never fucking end unless the APM declares it over, it would be respectful to the members at large if the continuing comments were made in here and not in Mandy's review thread.
Now since you have gotten my attention and stirred me out of a comfortable retirement with all this nonsense, you are going to hear more from me about it. Anyone who doesn't want to attend the lecture should leave now. And don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. This whole fiasco is an embarrassment to the board that makes zero sense.
This is just another example of tribalism, fueled by the current political climate in the world now. There are clearly two teams in play here, lopsided as it may be. Perhaps it's time for smarter heads to prevail and call attention to the agenda that I see. I consider myself an astute observer when it comes to the demeanor of the board, even if none of my fellow moderators recognizes that. There are players at work here, positioning themselves for power. This whole battle is simply about that.
Of course, Sophia is at the forefront of this. She is a master marketer, equal to the task as a Kardashian, as my nemesis warned the mods in a post that was deleted. When I replied to the staff about that post, I noted how accurate it was in scope, though I saw no violation in what she was doing that he was commenting about. It had to do with a couple of threads she created that had become active. I thought the threads were quite good and beneficial to the board. They were fluff, bullshit threads that you guys seem to enjoy. The kind that meander without any worry about going off-topic like you do in a review thread. And I was adamant that she did no wrong in creating the threads. Now maybe my insistence was a bit of guilt on my part, as I suspected I may have encouraged her to do this with my MILF thread. I definitely believe the response she received in there struck a chord and she created a couple of similar freeform threads. And, again, I see nothing against the rules in her doing that. So I quickly shot down that member's outrage with my analysis.
But now I believe she has gone too far in her zeal to keep herself relevant and here is why. The entire premise for her outrage has no basis. I flat out asked her yesterday what her issue is with Joyboy and she has not given me a definitive answer other than to say she is tired of seeing his reviews of her. So I ask you this, why him and not anyone else? As an example of how much I pay attention to the board, I direct your attention to member
@kk630. My apologies for the example I am about to make of you, sir. I had never noticed this member before but took notice of him when he 'liked' my earlier post in here. And now here he is again posting. Sophia has never taken issue with him whatsoever that I saw. And not a single one of you have either. Yet if you look at his post history, every single one of his posts - and I mean that without any exaggeration - is about Mandy. Almost 60 of them. Why then is she not outraged by him? As Joyboy duly noted, he has reviewed other providers. This guy has never said dick about anything but Mandy. But did any of you friggin' rocket scientists on here kissing Sophia's ass comment about that? No, because you have your fucking heads so far up her ass that you can't see shit. I see things here. I sense a pulse on the board. Sophia has an agenda to keep herself number one. I have no idea why she has targeted Mandy. Actually, I do and I will explain that in a moment. But it's not because she is threatened by her. Mandy poses no threat at all to her. Lury is a different story. She has become the flavor-of-the-month on here. Sophia is not stupid. In fact, she is smart and cunning. She knows that to go after Lury is a lost cause because of her popularity, the fact she is an advertiser, and because billy is behind her and is one of Sophia's allies. So, instead, Sophia uses the age-old tactic of keep your friends close - and she already does that with you guys - and your enemies closer, which she did by befriending Lury. Brilliant move on her part.
The reason for Sophia targeting Joyboy and Mandy is because they are easy targets. She has pummelled them so often that many of you bought into it. Think about it, what are the two complaints that I see posted most often? That she looks her age in her face and that she is scripted. And while the scripted complaints only pop up occasionally, the detrimental face remarks have escalated so that now we have members repeating the condemnation that Mandy is a GILF, not a MILF. So is her crime that she is in her fifties or that she looks her age? Because from what I have seen, she has been universally lauded for having a great figure for someone over forty. So what if her face doesn't also look like that of a forty-year-old. Do you really expect that? So what did billy anticipate seeing after seeing all the reviews and going to meet her that prompted him to exclaim she looked older than he expected?
And in the same way she has turned many of you against Mandy, she has done the same for Joyboy. In the case of monger members, it is much easier for the tide to turn against them. Wiggs can tell you about that. And in most cases, it has something to do with the members themselves and deep down we all know it. I put myself in there because whatever ill will there is about me is a direct reflection of something I did or said on the board. I might not always have been wrong in whatever I did, but I had to know the consequences in doing it. And Wiggs and Joyboy certainly know it, too, because I have spoken to them both about it on occasion. In Joyboy's case, I can say with certainty that he has done no wrong in his reviews of Mandy. And his latest review was one that should have gotten the least scrutiny as he added details in there that had never been discussed before about her hair and the dip in the hot tub was an entirely new twist. So, the review was overwhelmingly warranted. Yet, Sophia sill saw fit to take issue with it, although later she corrected herself and said she actually took issue with his reply to InvJim's comment. And there is where Joyboy erred. I had cautioned him about replying to other member's comments. Yet I don't think he was wrong in replying at all. Where I think he tripped up was in the length of the reply. But did that rise to the level of the outrage that all of you are expressing on here. Holy shit, you would think the guy is guilty of obstruction of justice with all the bullshit you are spewing on here. Please, enough with the fake outrage. All you sorry asses are doing is currying up to Sophia to stay in her good graces, because we all know how quickly she can turn on a dime and put you on her shit list. Just ask Wiggs. Or ask me. She has done that to me simply because I have become her earpiece to vent whenever she is pissed off about something that has nothing to do with me. Yet you all buy into her madness. Why? Is a piece of ass really worth all that to you?
I fully expect one of two things to happen here. Either this post will disappear from the face of the earth or I will be anointed personna non grata around here. I'm hoping the former doesn't happen. Because I think it's important for you guys to read this and perhaps see this issue in a different light. But also because I think I've earned the right to have my say here because of the effort I've put into keeping this place an orderly, functioning, useful place for members to engage each other. As to the latter, I'm fully prepared for that consequence.
