If there was a misunderstanding, BCB was the author of this own fate. If he misunderstood Carrie, he chose to, because then he'd have to admit perhaps her post had merit and he wasn't about to do that. He wanted what he wanted and he wanted everyone else to agree with him, otherwise he was taking his ball and going home. (Which the MOD most dutifully did for him).
He started off with a certain definition of what he was looking for which was basically snuggling. Then he threw in the comment about "in these recessionary times", implying that he was doing us a favour by creating this new "niche in the market" (borrowed the term from another SP). Like, hey buddy, that's up to the ladies to define what they consider to be "social" or "regular time".
For example, guys like Pistol Pete may be a jokster, but you never hear of him questioning or quibbling over a lady's rates. He's a respectful, not manipulative, so that's why if he made a comment like maybe we should pay him, we would probably laugh, not be offended, because there isn't that underlying hidden agenda going on to get something for nothing.
Then BCB's definition went from snuggling to something totally different including nudity and more intimate/physical touching than was originally described. physical contact..thus blurring the lines even more. Then he implies that perhaps he's so good, that we if if went further, we SHOULD pay him.
This was where the train derailed.
I believe this is why people got pissed off and felt like he was manipulating...not onlyfor the service he was trying to acquire at a cheaper rate, but also trying to steer the thread back to him by attacking anyone who challenged him.
Although perhaps a bit harsh, once made to look like the buffoon he was, he then promptly attacked Carrie back and more fiercely while obviously trying to maintain his "I'm such a good guy image" intact. But nobody was buying it by then, including myself. So then he went crying to the MOD, oh, Carrie hit me in the sandbox and has turned all the other kids against me. Boo hoo hoo.
BCB derailed the the train and then blamed everyone else on board for the mess.
