Stimpy, my friend, you know that I am a big fan of Jimmy, but I do agree with perhaps 85% of your post. You are so right that the introduction, and perhaps overexposure of Jimmy came right after the seemingly interminable amount of "bottom of the barrel" scenes that David had put out finally came to an end. Apparently David knew that the sand in his timer was about to run out, when he gave us a slew of sub par models, including one who we learned was going through hormonal treatment in preparation to have a sex change operation.
We found out that "a change was being made", and that David was out and we were watching the final parcel of product that D&E owed to Blu Media to finish his contract. So those of us who remained and waited for the change to happen were both annoyed, and rather anxious for the "all new
Broke Straight Boys" to emerge. and Jimmy became the face of BSB2. and the rest became history.
My 15% disagreement is that you characterized Jimmy's on screen persona as homophobic,
Re-reading this very thread, folks talk about how Colin said that he enjoyed working with Jimmy, and other than a recent post by Jason regarding his scene with Jimmy, that was the only negative model comment towards Jimmy that I can recall. To my way of thinking, no man could be completely straight and have sex with as many guys as Jimmy did and still does in his current gay for pay work. And I agree that his real persona at the events, and how well he got along with Sha, and his gay fans told me that he was in no way a homophobe. He is just a playful guy who was playing a role here.
But as I agree with most of your comments, and Jimmy is long off this site, it is all water under the bridge, but I maintain as a fourmite who has been here
forever, Jimmy will rank as one of the most controversial models ever along with the late
Mike Robbins, in regard to the reactions of the forum to them.
So much of what I might say would become boring and redundant to long time forum members. But Stimpy's post did break some new ground. Stimpy speaks now of what so many of us knew back then but dared not say. Because we didn't want to state the obvious and encourage newer members to leave the site. Even back then we wanted the site to succeed. To do that, many of us had to refrain from stating basic truths about that period. In a historical context we can look back on this transition period, discuss it openly and be glad it's over.
He was greatly missed! 
go by without a comment.
