RIP Mike Robbins

[dbxxx]

Man, I can't tell you how sad this news makes me.

MikeR was undeniably my favorite Broke Straight Boys model - although the competition was stiff.

Furthermore, Mike brought Preston and Josh to the studio - and those guys are ludicrously hot too. I really hope i see them again.

RIP mike - you are sorely missed.

Sorry but it is time to give it a rest. It really is none of your or my business how the man died and this persistent almost "hissy fit" by some people who think they are entitled to know such details is macabre at best. I can understand why the people who know do not want to hand out the details. Assuming that the cause of death was something that is a matter of public record somewhere, there are those who would take it upon themselves to research and start contacting people, perhaps family members, in inappropriate manners.

Umm no you're sadly mistaken. When you are an entertainer, it is understood that you don't enjoy unlimited privacy. It is everyone's right to know what happened. It is both irresponsible and rephrensible that the management continues this coverup. There's no evidence anyone would contact anyone about it.. they didn't when Andrew died so stop making excuses.

DUDE!........... Enough Already!

I would personally vote for Mark to close this thread as it has turned form a place to give your respect into a place to express one’s criticism and over bearing curiosity. At this point it would show far more respect to just close this thread down.

 

[rrhill]

Amen.

Sorry but that dog just won't hunt and it is a perfect example of the hissy fit I was mentioning some people engaging in. That you would seriously think that because some person was an "entertainer" in the sense they were a model on a porn site gives people an unrestricted "right" to know what happened is completely absurd. You have no such right under the law and I would know because I have been an attorney for 30 years. If you think you do then please enlighten me as to the legal basis under which you claim this so-called right. Statutory and case law please not another "in my opinion" diatribe.

As for whether anyone contacted Andrew's family, how would you know? Unless of course you decided to contact them, and ask? Which negates your entire position. There is nothing irresponsible or reprehensible about the management refusing to provide the details and you have no "right" to know the details and frankly your continued intense interest is simply macabre and sick.

If what you write is true, apparently there are low standards associated with becoming an attorney these days. I mentioned nothing about their being a legal right to know anything, but it is generally public information how someone dies. There has been no answer to the question how disclosing his manner of death would reveal who he is. The excuse has been given that someone might "research it" and contact his family, but if one really put enough time into it they probably could find him either way. It has been irresponsbible at the highest order to continue to shroud this in mystery which has fueled the fire more than anything. There's nothing "macabre" or "sick" about it .. it's natural to ask how someone died and it is part of the closure process for many people .. how dare you call people on here who have asked this harmless question "macabre and sick".

Qscott86,

He is not calling the people that asked the question "macabre and sick." He is calling, the one person that won't stop asking the question "macabre and sick."

You have gone to the extent of accusing the administration of keeping the information secret, in order to cause trouble on the forum.

Enough is enough, and everyone is asking you to stop. Members are even asking administration to close this thread, just to force you to be quiet, on this matter.

Please allow the forum to move on, from this tragedy.

they wouldnt have to close the thread if everyone didnt act like some stupid self-righteous son of a bitch. nobody knows what happened to Mike and nobody is going to know as nobody has the right. as for what i truely want to say to you, im going to tone it down in hopes i dont get banned AGAIN. i take it from your username you were born in 1986, which is the same year i was born, you are 24, grow the fuck up!

The thing is I agree: there's no right to privacy as entertainers. But, there's no "right to know" as an audience. If anyone knows, they don't want to tell, which is reasonable. If you are desperate, hire a PI - but needling this forum is just making everyone unhappy, for no reason.

I would like this forum to remain open, but be moderated. If it is a tribute to MikeR, please post. Otherwise, delete.

we used to have a moderator, but for some reason the position was abolished. maybe someone else can elaborate on the reasoning for this?

1. I did not call the people here who asked a natural question "macabre and sick" because they asked and when told the information would be kept private stopped asking and did not bleat repeatedly about conspiracies and their right to know. It is you and your obsession on this issue which is macabre and sick.

2. If there is no legal right then what right are you speaking of? How is it established? There is none. Unless you are trying to argue you have some moral right to know what caused the death of someone you did not personally know and who only saw on a porn site.

3. I note that instead of justifying your claim of some nonexistent right, you chose simply to reiterate you had some amorphous, non-existent right.

4. As for the standards for becoming an attorney, no matter how low they might appear to you, it appears you would not qualify based upon your comments. As for myself, I do not need to justify myself to some anonymous, immature poster on a chat group.

So I just want to say how much I really miss Mike. It's been about 2 months since I found out that he passed and I am still really affected by it. I can't bring myself to delete his name from my phone, my skype or my yahoo messenger yet. I kind of steer clear of this thread because I know it's turned into this ugly place and not a place to remember the awesome young man that was.

I finally decided to go and peruse his first few videos. Now one of my favorite models has always been Drew and I watched their scene together today and it reminded me of how much fun he was. I do recall that he said he thought that Drew was a really cool guy. I know that Mike would be happy that people continue to watch his videos and he was super proud of the mark he left with them.

So that's it. I just wanted to use this block of space to say that I miss him and although he was just an acquaintance of mine, I'm still really sad and I hope people can get back to remembering the super neat fella that he was.

remember the good old days? you me yami steph and him. i remember when me and him smoked a bowl together via webcam. he was one of the greatest guys i have gotten the pleasure to meet. his shout outs were always the best (mine was pretty epic, even though i would never suck his dick). he always found a way to make us laugh, and we did the same for him from time to time. too bad we didnt get a chance to kick it in person, because im pretty sure that would have been one of the best trips we could have taken. RIP man, i bet the angels said "hell yeah" when you joined their ranks!

you still just don't get it yet!!!!

I'M BACK GUYS!!! Where O where do I begin?? 1st of all Mike Robbins was more than just an entertainer to alot of us here at Broke Straight Boys.HE was a valued friend that we loved dearly, just read his posts on his thread, he had a very close relationship with many of us...and as his friends we are naturally very saddened by his loss, and are still finding it very hard to find closure. And that's because of the "not knowing" part of this whole situation.. Any time you suffer a loss this close to home, you normally want to know just how your friend met their tragic end....the cause of death is no great reveal of Mikes identity, if it was illness, suicide, or tragic accident, that cannot possibly reveal who or where he was. Due to the fact that these same circumstances happen to thousands of people all over this country, it would be like trying to find a "needle in a haystake"....IMPOSSIBLE..so that excuse is weak to say the least.....and to go so far as to tell his friends to "get over it" or "grow the f#*k up" is heartless and downright mean spirited....this is exactly what I warned this site would happen, people grieve differently, and when there is no closure then they begin to devour one another...I've seen it working as a nurse for the last 20yrs!!!! MY GOD, have we stooped so low as to turn on each other like this, pain can make people do the unthinkable sometimes. This site has a responsibility to all of Mikes friends to find out the cause of his death and try as much as possible to help some of the paying members who loved this young vibrant man find some small amount of closure, we are reminded quite often that we are a family here at Broke Straight Boys, and is this anyway to treat your family?? The very nature of some of the friendships that developed between some of the models and members became more than just a business transaction...we shared emails, phone numbers, and a huge part of our lives with each other, and alot of you know what I'm writing is very true. Is it any wonder that this just refuses to go away, like any friendship, when something like this happens people take it damn hard... So PLEASE remember that his friends are still having a very difficult time right now, they just found out a couple months ago, both sides should keep this in mind when posting about their concerns and their heartfelt sorrow, keep it respectful and at the same time, honest as well.......I feel saddened by all this, but I saw it coming................till next time friends..

Absolutely ridiculous, there is no cover-up and you know as much as I do. We protect our models privacy as much as possible and you are wrong when you say they have unlimited privacy. Most porn sites don't even have contact with any of the models so you are lucky he even posted on here. It isn't everyone's right to know what happened and I don't even think it is my right. This thread was started to remember the good things about Mike. Why not just let Mike rest in peace.

spoken like a true attorney at law, now I understand why attorneys get such a bad rap, WOW, really dude, that's what you say to someone who has lost a dear friend, maybe not this person, but there are those of us that knew Mike really well, and developed a real friendship....we just want to know how someone we cared about died so suddenly, I'm sure that even you would want the same thing if a loved one of yours passed away so tragically, I think we should all just stop, take a breath, realize what's really going on here, people are still dealing with this loss, remember it was only a couple of months ago that we found out....to some of us he was more than just a porn model, he was and is a very dear friend, we should all keep this in mind when responding to one another, use a little grace, take the high road friend, lead by example, OK??
