PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Reaching this milestone, and have thought it through and through for quite sometime now, this post will be my last in the general discussion area,recommendation area and other areas as well. I will keep my profile active, and continue to chat through pm's or profile pages, by saying hello to those good friends, and of course checking out the ladies schedules and announcements and social groups. ;) I'm sorry but I just don't have anything more to say or add into the those sections of the board. My reasoning for staying out of posting here,is that the content on the board has lost some of it's "reality" in why we we all chose to become a member here on CERB. That being a community of people striving to have the same result, good fun,sex of course,how to stay and play safe and play along nicely with each other. The latter certainly has not been happened enough lately in my view, I had read MOD's note to those Elite Members and Sp members in that section.I hope that it is okay to quote MOD here in the general area where some other members can see what was said...I think it is important to all general members as well. The site is suppose to be... 1) a positive side of the industry 2) A fun place 3) A community 4) A place to get friendly advise 5) A place where the ladies can come and not worry about being slandered 6) A place for the "Good clients" to feel at home When I first started here, the wealth of information provided by members was such a huge importance for men and ladies to ensure quality time together and it was always very positive back then and great fun... but not so much lately. Those members that have provided that information of safety/quality time/advise/ health issues etc etc are and can be the key to continued success of this board. So stay positive folks. It has been a fun place, until recent past months,that is my own personal view on the matter Just far too much hostility lately, and I rather not participate in those discussions, and yes I have been guilty myself of doing so, but realizing it is only counterproductive. However I would like to say, I really have not found it lately a place for "good clients" to feel at home at least that is my feeling. I always consider myself a good client with ladies I have met and I of course look forward in meeting new ladies as well in the future. We all see the hostile quotes left in the rep points handed out, we all see the hostile thread comments and even lately comments left on other profile pages. We all have our own interpretation, but that is what happens when you have a diverse community, I guess. I'm sure some will be happy that I will be staying away from posting, and I think some others may not (48 threads started of rec's...lol.. I did give back to community in a way :) ). So thank-you all, it is not good bye, just tuning out, may you all enjoy the Holiday Season, and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cato 160314 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 All the best to you, Pete. You have been an exemplary member, voted Valued Member, for a long time the top poster, and one whose judgement could be relied on. I want to thank you personally for all you've done for this community, the great posts, the recommendations, the laughs. I remember a thread that named you "Cerb Ambassador." You are that and more. Please keep in touch. And congratulations on 5000 quality posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 It's a pity and you will be missed. Unfortunately, cyber-land mimics real life and we all know that real life has it's ups and downs. Hopefully you will discover the fun again at a later date. All the best to you, your family and your loved ones this holiday season! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest B*nzm*****r Report post Posted December 21, 2011 I don't know you Pistol Pete nor am I familiar with the politics of CERB, however I only want to wish you well and thank-you for your significant contribution. All things change in life and I am sure many have learned from your experiences. Enjoy your journey no matter where it takes you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mod 135639 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 This is exactly why I posted this in the ELITE/SP ONLY area. A small handful of people are creating a hostile environment for some. Pushing good members like Pete to do things like this! It's bad for the board, bad for the ladies as it makes potential and really good long term clients not feel welcome. I think jealousy is playing a role in this with some and maybe even boredom for some? Not sure but what we need to do is suggest to the council that anyone causing a hostile environment here gets ONE warning then the BOOT! I know myself and the other mod have talked about this for a while now and we both agree... it's a handful of people killing the vibe for many and it has to stop. Those people responsible need to find a new thing to focus on! Pete, I hope you come back and post. Your a valued member here and one many of the guys look up to. I know I appreciate all your contributions to cerb and this post hopefully opens up some peoples eyes. The ladies who are doing this are just making themselves and other ladies loose business. You kill the friendly vibe of the site and kill off the top members and the quality posters you kill the traffic to the site and hurt business for yourself and the others. It's just dumb! 26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikeyboy 27133 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Sorry to hear this Pete. Your contributions will be missed. Not just for the volume of contributions but also for your willingness to speak your mind (and occasionally "stir the pot" if it needs stirring.) Everyone should always feel welcome to voice their opinions here as long as they respect the other members. Good luck in future endeavors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Pete, thank you for all your great contributions to the Cerb forums, and for the tremendous amount of time and effort you've put into the board. I'm glad to see that you plan to continue to enjoy the other social aspects of the board, and of course I hope that someday you'll feel the time is right to return to the forums. But for now, I'll use this opportunity to publicly thank you for everything! This is Pete's thread, but of course we all know that a number of great contributors (both gents and ladies) have fallen by the wayside recently, many (both gents and ladies) for precisely the same reasons as cited by mod. The Cerb philosophy has served us so well in the past, and it's a philosophy that has been proven to work when we follow it. Hopefully the rest of us together can somehow succeed in restoring some of what we've lost. Along that vein, I'm very encouraged to hear that the mods have been keeping their eye on what's been "killing the vibe". All I can say is that the mods would have my wholehearted support if concrete steps are indeed undertaken towards maintaining the long-term health and vibrancy of Cerb. Cheers to you, Pete my friend!

NotchJohnson 214123 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Sad to see you step out of the discussion forum Pete, I always admired you point of view on various subject, I'm glad you will be sticking around though since some of us here still need advice and someone with experience around. Good to know we can still reach you by PM my friend. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming year 2012. Also congrats on reaching 5000 post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest B*nzm*****r Report post Posted December 21, 2011 If many of the good people are leaving or have left, I would have to ask PP to not leave.

JuliasUndies 7288 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks for this Pete, know it or not..You are taking a stand for the underdogs that have been on the receiving end of this smearing. Your contribution to this board deserves an applause, so, I applaud you. Thank you for all your time and kind words you have had for me, I'll surely miss reading your good stuff. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canuckhooker 19203 Report post Posted December 22, 2011 Sorry to see you go, but it is not surprising. I slowed my posting almost a year ago for much of the same reason. I went from having a nomination as being a valuable member to being a basic lurker. So sad it has come to this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJack 4689 Report post Posted December 22, 2011 Hopefully you'll still comment on pictures in albums. I know the girls get a charge out of it. I've enjoyed your reviews and comments. I'm not sure if you realize, but you can block people and that way you don't see their comments. It works for me, about 40 on the block list. Take care. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ou**or**n Report post Posted December 22, 2011 You are on of the foundation members of this board and your contributions have always been excellent. I share many of your sentiments as I lost my desire to post months ago. I have also slowed down my involvement in this hobby as I find the negativity has flowed outside the board as well.

Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted December 22, 2011 I am sorry but an entity is the sum of all it's parts. No disrespect to u pp (your valiant effort with the Xmas spirit did not go unnoticed) but to those who complain after the fact, well perhaps u should have tried to change the atmosphere sooner!
