You only need to look back, if you care to, at 15-year-ago-plus content still archived on the M4M forums to see the tragic comedown from then to now, there. And if the difference in content quality There vs. Here today is not visible -- or not important -- to you, then I do not know what to say.

You evidently can't, and don't -- and don't want to -- know how, and why, Bill is destroying Hooboy's legacy.

This is interesting... Takei said on Twitter that right now, it’s a “he said/he said situation” and that those who know him “understand that non-consensual acts are so antithetical to my values and my practices, the very idea that someone would accuse me of this is quite personally painful.” Also Saturday, a clip of audio surfaced from Takei’s appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show last month. The interview was recorded less than two weeks after sexual assault accusations against fallen film mogul Harvey Weinstein were made public. Stern and Takei were discussing the “irony” of the Weinstein case and the audiotape of President Donald Trump boasting about grabbing women’s genitals years ago, when Stern asked Takei whether he had ever grabbed a man’s genitals against their will. Takei, a staunch Trump opponent, initially was silent, then said “uh oh” and laughed. Stern asks again and Takei said “Some people are kind of skittish, or maybe, um, uh, afraid, and you’re trying to persuade.” Stern and his co-host, Robin Quivers, persisted, asking Takei whether he ever held a job over somebody for sex and he said no. Quivers asked if he did “this grabbing at work.” Takei said “It was either in my home. They came to my home.” http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/george-takei-shocked-sexual-assault-allegation

I deeply appreciate your thoughts expressed here. But you entirely miss my point: The past is dead. It cannot reach out to bother us any more. Therefore leave it behind. Invest all your own actions and thoughts and emotions only in the future. Forget, and forgive. The Gospels got it so exactly right.

Come to think, I was a little bit put out in my 20s at not myself having been the object of (much of) any such attempt.

Thinking back, I agree this accusation seems not that big a deal, given context and everything. Back in the '80s, most of us young things found it rather a compliment to get a friendly grope under the table from an older gentleman in Boston's alas long-gone Napoleon Club. (A place rather like The Townhouse, back in the day at least.) To be sure, Takei's reported 'assault' went further than that, but still seems like not that uncommon an occurrence back then, from shenanigans I recall hearing about from friends.

Do you have a point? Chemsex participants do it out of their own volition. There are certainly questions of their mental health, and what, if any, public health response may be warranted. Given finite means. To conflate this serious issue with that of power-driven sexual assault on unwilling, unequal victims is astoundingly wrongheaded.

Corey was one of my dreamboats. (You are showing your age, my dear! )

"Flying" and "comfortably" are not words that go naturally together in the same sentence, hardly ever. Class regardless. You have not done much of it if you do not know that in your marrow-bones.

Reposting! One of my favorite things in either 'high' or 'low' art.

On second and third thought, I tend to agree with @RockHard. Brazile took the fairly obvious, and went overboard with it. For a range of possible motives, some good, but others not so good at all.

You have too short a time horizon.

P.S.! One notes the organist's just slightly late pedal entrances will correct, once his teacher/registrant instructs (by spreading for him ) how to become a correct TOP. The only model for student/teacher relationships.

Lacking any pain reflex at all (broke 3 ribs slipping on the stairs down into The Web, didn't realize until 2 days after), I had to do it to myself the Hard (& Expensive! ) Way.

extraordinarily good book review. and summary of how the author taught me how to think, and why. Jesus and Yahweh: The Names Divine

In all of us!

Just fail, then go again. And again! Her only mesaage.

Oneself would instead recommend... (From personal exp! Not with F personally of course. )
