Permit me to conclude by providing my perspective: What I always liked and thought was unique and refreshing to this thread for a gay porn site was all homoeroticism without any sex acts, which to give major example revealed the boners of mostly straight college wrestlers and swimmers competing in their form fitting wrestling singlets and speedos. Mikeyank, you yourself made those initial such posts, and you were absolutely right in that those posts were far more hot than some nude dude with a flaccid dick. I of course acknowledge that later on you reconsidered and decided to start another thread, and thereafter I enjoyed them both very much. As I recently replied to Jay and he ignored with some venomous fury thrown in what I respectfully provided as background , subsequently between the COVID and the specialized topic of young college and professional athletes, the amount of material to post significantly declined and some compromises were made to continue posting on this thread. For example, pics of competitive surfers would include hot boys on the beach, still strictly honoring the "homoerotic yes, homosexual acts no" tradition of this in my opinion great thread. Even nudity, which Tampa was very reluctant to include, did get added, but still only as homoerotic pics with no homosexual acts allowed at least to my knowledge as I watched them all and cannot recall any. Br joined Tampa and really stepped in as Tampa developed some medical issues. So yes the thread did recently morph from 100% college and young professional athlete posts to a general posting of fit attractive young men. The pics of young frat boys hiding their private parts with a hat, a towel were amusing and the boys were cute too. But to the end, the focus on young attractive athletes with homoeroticism but not homosexual acts remained. I belong to BSB and obviously nothing against gay porn, but I thought it refreshing for BSB to have just one thread reserved for homoeroticism and NOT for homosexual acts. I did not always "like" every posting decision br made, but I tried to read his posts and in general support all the time and effort he devoted to this thread. Br does have an interest in gay porn as well, but he saved those pics for posting on his other "How to Start One's Day" thread. Has anyone who does not agree with any of the posting decisions Br has made considered the option of just not clicking on his threads? That is how the free market is supposed to work, one would think as opposed to hounding off the Forum a dedicated and well intentioned member. So to bring this sad day to an end, in my opinion Br has been poorly treated particular in the last 24 hours for showing some non athletes on one thread and for posting pics from other gay porn studios on his other, supposedly "in great violation and disrespect" to BSB, but guess what: If you read Br's two threads for the last few months, MARK THE BSB OWNER HIMSELF HAS BEEN POSTING HIS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BEST WISHES TO BR . Indeed Mark has been in my opinion the great hero of all this. Mark does not have to allow this Forum, Mark could have if he wished censored this Forum, banned competitors' posts from this Forum, BUT HE DID NOT as Mark is a champion of the First Amendment as should we be. But the First Amendment becomes meaningless in a situation like this where a well intentioned elderly home bound member is hounded into ceasing his right as a member to past due to his frankly mistreatment by some other members this weekend. Mikeyank, I consider you my long time forum friend (as does Br), but this is more than agreeing with Jay's distaste for some of Br's posts, and I hope that reconsidering after now knowing the results of Br retiring from the Forum might be possible for you. My strong belief is in the free market place of ideas and pics, so long as they are legal let the reader decide by clicking or not clicking on a given thread. So in conclusion thank you to Br for your vast amounts of your time posting which many members liked and some apparently did not, and of course to Mark the owner of BSB for giving all of us the most open Forum that I have ever seen. All BSB members are very fortunate to have an owner like you.
