we are all entitled to our opinion. be it opposite to someone else. we should respect that opinion and move on. no need to make rude comments to the person. we should all be nice to each other and work together. we live in a difficult world because of what we all are. some places more difficult than others. lets share out experiences and learn from them. done x

Thomas, To me you're one of the noblest of members here at gbt, and the love and respect I hold for you is second to none. I hope you will reconsider retiring from the blogs here. I agree with @mitchellaburn6 you're the life of the blogs now. I've noticed so many of the other members that would blog daily have already stopped blogging. I hope they will return to blogging again soon. I've often thought of leaving the site not just the blogs because of the constant bullying, however I've decided to not let them push me around. Opinions are like assholes everybody has one - love you all even the hates ~ Lil-b xxx ooo

I think this process has driven away the people who were causing grief on here. It is perfectly okay to disagree with a person has to say. It is NOT okay to attack the person.

I will make one final comment in this blog...and then this weekend will retire it. I enjoy the blogs. I enjoy honest discourse and disagreement. I also believe that participating in a persons blog means you respect the person how originated and stay on the topic. When I post something, it is not an open chat about whatever is on your mind. It is about what I posted the blog about. We don't have moderated blogs, and we can agree or disagree on that point, but respect is not something that will be abandoned because this is an open forum. I left in part, because of name calling, people hijacking blogs for their own purposes. I left the blogs because I saw people making rude comments on people's blogs about others just to make a childish point. In this blog, someone stated their opinion as fact about me and others. You don't know me. And frankly you never will. You are not a person I would invite in my home, my neighborhood or my life. Your opinions are not facts. They are your opinions and beliefs, and I respect that, but they are no more valuable than my opinions or beliefs which I would expect you would respect, for that is what adults do.
I remembering participating in alt.discuss.gay internet communities over 15 years ago in the later 1990s, and nothing has changed. People complained because people used too much html in their sigs and they loaded slowly and so and so was going to quit, and people were rude or were taken as rude, and on and on. The cast of characters was the same as it is now. What is going on in this blog and in the blogs in general is just part of community, like it or not. Everyone has the ability to take a deep breath and scroll on. If something angers you come back to it later after you've thought about it and can reply with a clear head. Nothing here demands an immediate response. Though some folks may come off as agent provocateurs, they still have a right to be here. I think everyone should stay. And party on!
Perhaps this IS ENOUGH. Maybe the Blog can be deleted to remove such STRESS and lets play NICE together. YES, I've been called out as the 'BULL DOG' but I have offered my recommendation. Lets move Forward.....;-)

I hope TOLEAD will reconsider. I hate when people are fighting. I try to keep the peace. If I put a blog up that causes controversy I take it down, as I did today. I just want us all to get along. Peace my friend.

i guess some people feel comfortable hiding behind their computer screens. guess it makes them feel superior. shame they havnt got the balls to fire insults at people face to face instead.
nick black, what age are you hiding, 108 doesn't come up automatically if you don't post an age in ur profile(it's 113 lol) and avi doesn't look too young either...look in the mirror before you start talking SHIT

Obviously I missed something big; I left for a week in disgust after some comments were posted coz I thought I might regret what I would say. Too bad. Coming back, I can see the same jerks causing the same shit that made me turn my back a week ago are still causing mayhem. Time to purge the trolls and send them back to their bridge.

some nasty comments are being made here. whats wrong with people. why do you say ALL men in their 60s are dirty. you are talking total rubbish. i know men of all ages. you need to get out more

You just show yourself up for what you are - why do you think that all men in their 60's are "dirty old men who have lived miserable lives " .
I can assure you I have led a very successful life with a worthwhile job with a long term partner who is no longer with us and I am not a dirty old man.It just shows how twisted and warped your mind is to even contemplate uttering such garbage.Well I suppose it keeps you happy - and I realise you just like to say things for effect but it says all about you that most reasoned thinking guys on here already know.

I will not be posting comments on blogs for a week...but perhaps starting a couple of my own...that gives the cry babies no excuses! ...doesn't surprise me in the least my strongest critics are dirty old men in their 60s who have lived miserable lives of constant lying and deceit (always the fault of 'society')...I am an honest man, who tells the truth, means what he says, says what he means...and simply do not understand lying or hypocrisy or deceit....when you wake up tomorrow the last 6 decades still happened and you - are still you

As a fairly new member on here I have also been subjected to sarcasm from the CheshireCat and Nickblack but it just shows them up for what they are..They crave attention like small children and throw hissy fits when they do not get their own way.Can someone stick a dummy in their gobs !
