    After reading this he's probably trying to figure out if he can delete that ridiculous blog just like he did with the canyoneering one. Too late, Manboy. Which country is he going to go to next for his research? Maybe Zugas?

    That blog highlights how childish and irresponsible he is. First going to a high crime area by himself for a week, and engaging in those activities is not the actions of a responsible parent and husband. It just isnt.
    So from that blog, are we surprised that he is not responsible in running that site to the point where he had to wave a tin cup. Or that he isnt psychologically equipped to be in charge of customer service of his site and treat people consistently ?

    No he is the manboy, the pimply faces schoolkid that likes to see bugs zapped(according to him), who uses women as props in his pics, who thinks has knowledge of handjobs in massage parlors and where to find them, who as a married man, talks to and goes out withshady pretty women out of country, in the name of "research", the unicycle juggling middle aged man who meets with JJ a young, flirtatious girl half his age and is upset when things go bad.....so is the canyoneering episode unforseeable? ...nope.

    And the thing is he has no clue its all inappropriate. Even discussing his private life about his wife. Maybe for anonymous people thats fine. But doesnt he have the common sense to know she can read his comments and so can everyone else she is in contact with...friends relatives, kids friends and their parents, school teachers. They all need to now she has a husband that refuses to give her a valentines day gift..even though he knows that it would make her happy. Its better to take a stand against commercialism than to make the wife happy for a day. You know the wife that puts up with the blogs about hanging out with shady women in panama...and the posng with half naked women....and the articles and posts about prostitution...and the comments about going to strip clubs. She gets to put up with that, and doesnt even get a valentines gift.
    Its one thing to quietly put her through that..but he announces it to the world.

    and this is the guy in charge of figuring what is right and wrong of customers behavior on his site........ha haha

    Haven't we already covered this? o_O Do you keep bringing it up because you want him to be gay or bisexual? Maybe that would be another thing about him to dislike? He is not gay! We will not accept him on team G. He is a breeder and you guys are stuck with him.
    Why do people keep referring to him as middle aged? Are we projecting he will live to 102? :rolleyes:
    Not speaking directly about Wizard, but more about hand jobs in general. What is the attraction here? Why are guys willing to pay for a hand job? I thought that is why we search out a partner/spouse/significant other that likes to give head. :D (or whatever it is that is your preference). I mean if I am reduced to getting hand jobs, I have two hands of my own....why do I want to pay for this unless I woke up one day to find myself transformed into Edward Scissorhands. :eek: And if you are going to pay for sex, wouldn't you want a little more than a hand job? o_O:confused:

    For my final point, I am not going to quote, but it involves you LarryS. You are being pretty judgmental here concerning Wizard, which isn't unusual. That's ok...go for it. ;) But I don't think you have a right to speculate about Mrs. Wizard as you have been doing. You don't know a damn thing about how she feels about anything. Maybe they have an arrangement. Same goes for his kids. Maybe they are embarrassed by his behaviors. Maybe they aren't. You would hope he separates his creepy womanizing side from his family life....but who knows. I just think speculating about Mrs. wizard and the little wizards is kind of out of bounds.

    Mike has revealed himself to be quite creepy and a womanizer and basically a user of people to get what he wants is fair game, in addition to other qualities such as dishonesty, low integrity and short-tempered, that he has shown over and over. He has revealed himself to be far from the quality individual that I thought he was. And it is fair game to criticize him on these issues, but have some decency and leave his wife and kids, which you know nothing about, out of it.

    Really? We've got a guy posting here that anyone he dislikes has sex with their parents among other things. Accusations of pedophilia etc. That deeply disturbed individual comes directly from WOV for the sole purpose of sabotaging and disrupting this forum. So just what is out of bounds?

    I have no interest in manboy's wife but given 15 minutes I could find out a lot about her. He's said that she's a nurse and she's Chinese.

    I have said before, both publically and privately (to WoN) that he isn't doing himself any favors by his continuous vile comments. That kind of posting really weakens and discredits any legitimate arguments or points that you want to make. It also shows one's true character.

    And personally, as a gay guy, I find it offensive and distasteful when someone immediately goes to gay related type attacks, like WoN often does. It's just sleazy, and if that's all you got, then it's just weak.

    Why would you want to? What would that have to do with anything being discussed?

    So kj, you think he sat down his wife and kids and made a deal with them. That he would present himself as a creepy womanizing perv. to strangers, relatives, and friends , and teachers who visit his site and they noded in agreement that it was just fine.
    And he made a deal with his wife that he would present her as a "ball and chain" and spoken about in a disrespectful dismissive manner....and she nodded in agreement.

    The above would be that 1 percent exception that exists in every slam dunk assumption.

    I prefer to think his wife and kids behave as any normal wife and kids in this country. You know, his wife has self respect, and his kids dont want to be humiliated. Its just a wild assumption I know.....because there is always that 1 percent chance that they all cheerfully agree to this behavior.

    I am not saying anything bad about someones wife or kids. To the contrary, I am showing empathy for them. I am assuming they want to live life free of embarrassment, shame, ridicule.

    If I was a kid it might be cool to have a father be "the wizard of odds"......

    but the wizard of whores, the wizard of massage handjobs, the wizard of panama nightlife , the wizard of posing with half naked ladies, the wizard of meeting flirtatious girls half his age......while at the same time mocking the wife.............not so much

    to say 99 percent of the wives and kids in this country wouldnt want that either....is not going out on a limb of presumptions.

    And kj...what does this have to do with anything??? Its a thread about how people are treated at wov and reason why its dying. And here is a man with character issues judging others . Judging how others should treat other people....and punishing . Well if he is the judge...I can be the judge on how he treats others...including the people closest to him.

    LarryS, I have no idea about anything to do with his wife and kids, nor do I care. I was just saying it isn't that unusual for two adults married or not to have their own understanding and 'rules' (for lack of a better term) concerning their relationship. Another member of that site (the post leader) is married and he and his wife reside in separate homes in the same town. :confused: My own situation is far from traditional. It's 2016 and people do their own thing. And you or I have no idea what kind of arrangement Mr and Mrs Wizard have.

    I would suspect (and this is just a guess) that Mike's family doesn't know everything he posts. But by the same token, I would also bet that Mrs Wizard is well aware that Mike is a womanizer and shows zero respect for women. She probably understood that going in. That kind of thing is hard to hide. Similarly, I would suspect that his kids don't know everything that he posts, but they likely know and have experienced his short-comings, like his hair trigger temper, his immaturity and what a dishonest person he is.

    But we don't know how they feel or anything else, plus they are not a part of this discussion. This thread is about voicing criticisms of Mike and WoV and there is plenty to criticize and most of it is fair game. I just don't see the need to bring anyone's wife and kids into it. I haven't brought your wife/kids/family into any discussion. Don't even know if you have wife/kids....and don't care. And no one has brought my partner or family into any discussion. It's irrelevant. And so is Wizards wife and kids just as irrelevant. Shackleford is a douche bag, a liar, an immature bully. I have lost all respect for him as an AP, a site owner (now site administrator...I guess) and as a person. But his wife and kids have nothing to do with any of it.

    Regarding the manboys report on prostitution. Its reminding of when I was in 6th grade. I figured out If I took a book outof the library, a biography....lets say Abraham Lincoln.....and I chose that book to do a book report.....I could get away with just going to my encyclopedia and writing it from there. While others were doing a book report on childs science fiction books, or other fiction. I stuck with this method. And I never read the books. I even did extra credit book reports the same way.

    When reading his article on prostitution......its just so elementary. Oh yeah I never knew that once the whore has your money they have no incentive to make it last....so yhey give you a rush job. Wow.Is that investigative reporting. Or that the ladies in the pictures arent the ones that show up for you. ..Really? Or that you can get hand jobs at massage parlors.. Or that whores hang out at the lounges near room elevators in hotels. Or that prices vary widely.

    And the pictures added for effect....just the work of a manboy....someone who like to gawk at nudie pics.

    its info that could have been gleaned from any prostitution website

    Yes when a parent says something embarrassing to his child in public......we cannot assume we know if the child is indeed embarrassed. Thats your assumption. And my assumption isotherwise. We are both making assumptions...and your assumption on whether his wife always knew, and his kids dont know about his blogs and posts .....is purely an assumption as well...and assumption that doesnt dismiss my assertions.

    The assertion is that that behavior is not the behavior of a caring person. A well balanced person. A person that thinks about the feelings of others. A person who puts his children in the crosshairs of humiliation. The man who talkas about his wife in disrespectful manner.

    I dont care if the kids are somehow sheltered and never read a word of his writings.....and they never had it brought to their attention......and parents never read it and pulled their children away from his orbit. THAT IS JUSTGOOD FORTUNE.

    Just like a parent exhibits selfish uncaring behavior and who lets their kids play in traffic....and they dont die. THATS JUST GOOD FORTUNE.

    He behaves in a way PUBLICLY that would be humiliating to a wife and children in general. If the wife and children never find out.....it doesnt lessen the criticism . I actualy hope that the wife and children are oblivious toit all. I am hoping that his wife never read the valentine thread. I am hoping that zero people associated witht the children read the blog about paNAMA, or prostitution., or the posts about the JJ meeting.

    For the sake of all involved, I hope you are right that nobody knows anything and nobody has been negatively affected. And if thats true...then all it is ......is GOOD FORTUNE.

    Just like knowingly allowing kids to play in traffic, his behavior is potentially injurious to others....not physically like being hit by a car....but psychologically . In households the psychological abuse can often be more scaring than the physical abuse.

    I think what you think is full of shit. Now you are totally turned around and protecting wov and wiz? Using his 'wife' as an example like you care? You have completely proved my earliest contention that you are a true hypocrite and phony. And wiz is gay or completely bi. In one regard what he does with his life doesn't matter, and what flavor he chooses is his business. But to publicly publish reviews of gay shows with comments about his partner, a male enjoying drag shows with himself seems a bit edgy? They were years ago, how long has his marriage been been going on? Since 2009/10? But again, alternate lifestyle people as have many other kinds of people have been known to live double lives. Even that isn't that uncommon.

    It's the games people here and the other boards play with their double standards that irk me. And I don't need stupid little faces and smilies to emphasize a point.

    wel nate,:p this current subject is not about him specifically so he cant get into it.
    Its ok for someone to selfishly put their children in harms way, its fine as long as no harm comes to the children.

    He cant understand the concept of poor, selfish, behavior that can cause embarrassment to your wife and children. Whether the actual pain and suffering occurs is besides the point.:mad::cool::D

    I guess according to him, its ok for someone to drive your children in a car while drunk....as long as it all turns out ok:eek::p:cool:.
    And its ok to publicly mock you wife...as long as she doesnt find out about it. And its ok to post materials that make you look like a sick perv....as long as your children never get a whiff of it. You just have to hold your breath and hope everything turns out ok.

    Oh YEAH...THERE IS ANOTHER CHOICE........dont mock your wife:), and dont post creepy material about your adventures in panama with a shady woman, with JJ, strip bar adventures, massage parlour adventures, and prostitution article. Do what you need to do privately....but dont open it up so others could be hurt. THATis the other choice.If you have an open marriage with the wife...you dont need to flaunt it for everyone to see and rub her face in it....and the face of anyone else who could be affected.

    If its not about ME ME ME.....(kj kj kj) he cant fathom someone else with issues with the manboy....not even his family. He is gay jesus :(on the cross....everyone else couldnt possibly suffer as much as him. Any other issues with manboy are insignificant. We need to get back on how he was mistreated

    Good god, nate. I said Wizard is a douche bag, a lair and a bully. How am I protecting him?

    We already had this discussion. It is pretty clear that the review was written by wizard's employee, who goes by nick's gaming stuff. Nick is gay and the references in the review were to his partner.

    If you want to criticize Wizard of posting Nick's review using wizards "by line", that is fair. But let's not pretend something is something it is not, just because you don't like the guy.

    Well that kind of figures. When the Juice Jenny thing started on WoV, I have to admit I was quite surprised not only did manboy meet up, he was first off the block, had already done so while others were still sniffing around.

    When he went to Sydney, there is some vivacious Asian chick with a Youtube channel whom I will admit is captivating. Yep, manboy pointed out her channel and said something along the lines, he tried to arrange a meet / find her but couldn't (can no longer find the links).

    Chinese wife, subservient, ideal for those males unable to accept 'a wife' is not a piece of chattel, or prone to difficultly finding a Western woman unwilling to tolerate chauvinistic crap.

    Trip Report -- Sydney, Australia. Dec 24, 2014. The link is in his OP.

    Manboy: "Finally, I'd like to say I looked all over Sydney for my hero, Natalie Tran, of YouTube fame, but, sadly we never crossed paths. It was at least an honor to be in the same city". Really, manboy?

    Creep factor on a scale from 1-10....10++++! Looks like Natalie Tran, whoever she's supposed to be, dodged a bullet. Trust me though...she's no prize either once she opens her mouth.

    Anyone remember manboy's Spanish Word of the Day thread?

    The word for 6-13-11 was "putanar" - to have sex with a prostitute - according to leading authority manboy.

    Here's another keeper: "For what it is worth I asked one of the Columbian [sic] gals that worked out of the Veneto casino in Panama City what she charged for the basic service and she said $100". Keep up the "research" manboy. The munchkins are counting on you as is your boss, Josh.

    After numerous complaints it didn't take long for manboy's latest prostitution manifesto to "peter" out. He uses the name "Simon" but we all know better. Simple Simon just happens to join the forum and write about manboy's favorite subject with the same unbridled enthusiasm as the perv himself. Sure. Others have speculated that it may be the prolific Mission146/Pavlov146 but he has objected to the article.

    From the thread:

    Beached whale: "I voted that I prefer the other gender. Not that I know anything about finding one".

    Manboy: "I've seen escort review sites just surfing around but don't know much about them".

    Manboy: "When I was single it took me six months of dating to get to second base".

    Ams288: "I'm shocked by how much more female escorts can charge compared to the male escorts." Manboy responds: "It doesn't shock me at all. The male escort probably enjoyed the sex anyway and likely partake for free".

    DoucheFeathers: I just want to thank everyone in the research of this article".

    Manboy: "BTW, I was out there in the 109-degree heat on Monday afternoon gathering those cards. The things I do for you guys. I have several more images that I didn't post upon request".

    Caldor: "I'm no prude, but I think a 'how to' guide for prostitution is beneath you".

    Manboy: "Okay, I hope you prudes are happy. I changed the cover image".

    Manboy: "Given that being rejected would send me into a depression lasting months, it was definitely negative EV for me to make the first move".

    I still want to know why manboy got fired from the Venetian but Mr Transparency isn't talking. How much more embarrassing can it be than all the other things he has done? They create a special job for him, welcome him with open arms and then drop him like a hot potato before he even settles in. Was it the creep factor again? Did he ask random women to pose for him?
