On Shooting Your Credibility In The Foot...

[maxwellissmart]

Since the 24-hour Thanksgiving marathon of "Marc Dylan, Man About Town" has run longer than my DVR would hold, I though I would start a new thread specifically about the "review" of Marco Rossi from NYC published on 07/20/2011.

 

Here's the link: http://www.daddysreviews.com/search/Active/~/marco_rossi_nyc

 

James claims to have already published 5 or more reviews when meeting up with Marco (let alone Marc Dylan). So that means we're supposed to believe he laid down in a bed for an hour for some boring girl-talk with some stinky, sweaty escort with manboobs and "the intellect of a child."

 

He did this instead of saying: "hey, here's your money, but I don't think this is going to work out," or simply canceling the appointment.

 

An experienced client did this.

 

Yeah. Right.

 

Would you care to give us some more details about your side of things, James?

Apparently I am in the minority here, but I think your assesement is "spot on"

I don't think you are in the minority here. Most seem to believe Marc's version of events. Looking at the responses of others who have met him, the reviewer does not seem to match . I myself am intrigued by Markie, but he is not in my neck of the woods and I have no business in his area. If he travels to my area, would be very interested to find out what the fuss is all about!!

You're making all sorts of assumptions. Nowhere does it say thay he laid down in a bed for an hour. You also assume that because the reviewer was 'experienced', he wouldn't put up with such an encounter. I think a client's response to such a situation would depend more on his personality than his experience. I have hired many more than 5 times but I can easily see myself trying to avoid making an awkward situation worse.

"So my encounter with him was a naked conversation on my bed. And a boring one at that."

 

Whether or not 60 minutes actually elapsed isn't really the issue here. Someone who might as well have been lightly coated in shit arrived at the door, and James proceeded with the appointment. My point here covers both sides of the argument: the escort sucked and James went through with the appointment anyway when he could have canceled. And even if James felt the need to pay up rather than "make an awkward situation worse," he certainly did not have to actually continue with the appointment. Did he not have the ability to simply say: "hey, you know what—I'm not feeling well, so let's cancel. My apologies." I don't buy the truthfulness of his review—but even if it is correct, he got what he paid for. He told the guy to stay and then proceeded to engage with the escort, which implied that the escort was acceptable.

 

Also, I think James' personality comes through loud and clear on this review—but what I don't get is why he would write something quite so scathing but not have the balls himself to send Mario packing.

We get that YOU would have handled things differently - but it's clear from other postings on this board that not everyone is like you (or BVB).

 

Is that what 'shot the credibility in the foot'?

[instudiocity]

That is not a fair thing to say seek....we all have different opinions here, my opinions are just that. No one is saying that you or I or anyone here is more correct than the other person. Your opinion is just as credible as mine, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with you, nor does it mean I can't argue my point.

My opinion is I'd rather share a pitcher of margaritas with Marc Dylan than that BITCH JamesNYC.

[RockHard]

Marco Rossi? Are you fucking kidding me?

 

You'd have to be a pretty dumb twat who has lived in a cave for the last 10 years to not know what you get when you hire Marco Rossi. Of all the available porn stars (new and healthy), why on earth would anyone pick him? And why would anyone hire him in the last year and then write a negative review about the experience? Talk about redundant and pride in being stupid. None of it makes sense.

 

IMO, JamesNYC has little-to-no credibility. He's only been on the board for one year. He seems to have an agenda. Credible reviewers take pride in their opinion writing and their reputation. This username doesn't pass my smell test. I won't be inviting him to sit on my face.

I think we all know what Apprentice James is about. Funny about this thread, I was beginning to wonder what his other "5 plus reviews" were all about. Has he ever published a positive review? What were the other reviews?

 

He hardly posted here at all until he started the war on Marc Dylan. I pointed that out in the beginning but no one took much notice.

True, BVB. You express your opinions, and I express mine. And it includes commenting on what I see as faulty logic. Max basically attacks the review of Marco Rossi by implying no one would have really allowed a session to continue with so many issues. I happen to to think that some people (even myself, perhaps, WOULD.)

 

Then Max says that if the reviewer didn't cancel the session, he deserves what he got.

 

I don't understand how my remark was 'unfair', but yes, you & Max & everyone else, obivously have the right to choose which accounts to believe. I didn't mean to imply otherwise - just that i think Max's reasons were insufficient.

I really don't understand what is 'unfair' about my question.

[Irtwo]

To be fair, if you look up James' profile and his prior posts, you will see that he has posted some positive reviews in the past on escorts ("Ross" was one name I saw).

You're messing up the narrative.

Hey, why let inconvenient facts get in the way of a good theory?

[bigvalboy]

That is where you and I differ. That really to me is almost unbelievable that someone would let an escort through the door in that condition, assuming of course that he actually showed up like that.

 

Then Max says that if the reviewer didn't cancel the session, he deserves what he got.

 

I agree with Max. If you allow someone through the door that so blatantly misrepresents himself. Who is at fault? I say the client. Sorry, that's how I feel. No sympathy from me.

You're messing up the narrative.

 

Thank you, and it was going so well there for awhile.

Seeker, I will defend your right to have an opinion on this board as much as my own. That said—it's my opinion that anyone who hires an escort and comes to the conclusion that "hey—this escort sucks!" and doesn't simply show the escort the door either with a wad of cash or nothing at all is asking for it.

 

I don't believe there is a single escort out there (myself included) who would ever turn down the opportunity to be paid and then leave without having done anything. James indicates just about everything that could go wrong with his meeting with Marco did go wrong—yet he kept the guy there until the appointment was done. That just doesn't make any sense—nor is it believable.

I see by your join date you're one of the few remaining established posters on this site. Everyone else is just a newbie, and their posts should be taken with a grain of salt.

So, you don't think his explanation in his post made sense?

Could you explain what you mean by this comment? Are you implying that anyone who joined after 1969 as a member has posts over the years by many intelligent, professional gay men that are to be "taken with a GRAIN OF SALT" ? I would hope not, but I will leave that up to you to explain to us "newbies"

Max, you're a smart guy, so I have trouble understanding your disbelief. Surely you've read other reviews and comments here about clients who DIDN'T send a guy packing when he didn't live up to his ads. Whether or not you approve, I feel confident that it does happen.

 

And, to be honest, I don't understand why you basically opened up another front on the Marc Dylan debate.

[MiamiLooker]

Could you explain what you mean by this comment?

 

Yes, I could. But I doubt if you'd understand. BTW, I do think it's funny that you of all posters quote The Buddha.

[seeker630]

According to what I have heard, you may be more correct than you know....

 

If you have facts, please forego the innuendo & present them.

For the record, I don't make assumptions based on join dates - I know that there are men (& women) with join dates more recent than mine who hire more and are more prolific posters (BVB, for example, joined last year). And there are 'old timers' whose opinions I often disagree with.

 

I'm an equal opportunity offender.

 

I keep my mouth shut more often than you might think, but I will admit that when people start with the personal attacks on other posters and name-calling here, it gets my hackles up.

With this crowd? You're kidding of course. Not in a million years!!! And that is the last I have to say on the subject, end of discussion....unless of course you intend to subpoena me. which of course I am prepared to deny under oath anything that I have stated as fact.

[Bosguy]

You are truly an expert at not backing up your responses and making crude, nasty remarks to posters you know nothing about. If I choose to borrow a quote from Buddha because it has personal meaning to me at this time, you have no right to question that. It has nothing to do with the post. GET A LIFE!!!!
