Hi Tony, I wouldn't say that people like myself take it personally when you criticize Jimmy, after all I've certainly been known to criticize various aspect of various models and scenes myself. I only get a little frustrated when you're so disrespectful towards him, like calling him a "loser". You don't have to like someone, but can't you think of a nicer way to discuss what you like or don't like about him besides calling him a loser is all I'm saying.
Of course it's porn, and of course they're playing a role for us to enjoy. But I guess my point is, even though these guys are playing the role for our enjoyment, they still have feelings. When you call someone names, that has to feel like they're not doing a good job or being well received by their audience. Many television shows have filmed more than one pilot episode, and threw out the entire cast and started over from scratch as a result of various focus groups not liking them. It's all about ratings, in some cases likeability, and in all cases revenue.
I'd like to add, however, that there just may be roles that are intentionally portrayed as "the villain" so to speak, so as to generate more drama and interest (thus if people get bored with the scene content, some will remain members so they can hang out on the forum and either defend their favorite dudes or throw virtual tomatoes at them lol).
All I'm saying is that I like Jimmy, he's a great guy in my opinion, and I'm entited to my opinion just as you are to yours. I only get annoyed when you start hitting him with low blows and calling him a loser. He really can't defend himself, yet you can call him anything you want as long as you're not using cuss words. That's just not really fair in my opinion, and it has to be really hard for them reading these posts sometimes if they're not dying laughing (I'm guessing it's a little bit of both sometimes).
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall and see what they must be thinking about us at times, and saying under their breath after the way some of us treat them. These guys are good looking, personable, cool guys. None of them, including Jimmy, has ever been anything but respectful towards all of us at all times. How would you like it if someone sat there and called you a loser? And not in a joking around or kidding around way either, but in a nasty, mean way. I would hope that you wouldn't like it very much and I sure as heck know I wouldn't!
I know these guys are in the public light and they're playing a role, but seriously that doesn't give any of us the right to treat them disrespectfully nor mean especially when none of them in my opinion has done anything to deserve it, they've done nothing but be nice, try to make the forum more fun, and try to improve themselves in every way possible.
But there is a whole thread of comments on it. Look up the thread in the site related section under "Jimmy and Anthony".
