Hi to all. First, I want to appologize for coming across as hostile. Especially to "Wanderer", and I wanted him or her to know that I appreciate the work he or she has done.
Next, to the person who asked why I don't live in Brazil. That's like asking Willy Sutton why he robbed banks. Yes, it is a paradise, and please don't take my word for it. I am where I am, doing what I do. Again, my private life, my location, my activities are not anybody's business but my own. I have a cough cough business? Are you coming down with some disease? My business is exactly that, mine, and none of yours. If you want to spy on me, send a message to Wanderer, maybe he can help you, but I hope he shuts you down, where you belong if you try to spy and tell on me.
The childish probes coming from this list, into my personal life, make me angry, defensive, and the rude messages and postings like "Where can I find a Brazilian girl to abuse?" from members of this list, and other stuff about me that I have read, although I am a newbie, well, they result in my comments that you have read. So, again, I appologize for bristling at such lame banter, perhaps I am on the wrong list. I thought this list was a responsible list of mature people. Now I am not so sure. If the list moderator socks it to me, I will be happy, in a way, because I came on this list to help, not waste time. I feel like the ice cream cone landed in the middle of your forehead. I am an expert on Brazil, it's true, that's why I am here. But not self proclamed. Try the New York Times, TV Globo, The Los Angeles Times, Brazzil Magazine, Platinium Television Group, and many, many others. Want to check me out for real, instead of a lousy attempt to discredit me, like some sort of jerk?.
My contempt for those who use agencies? Glad you asked, Iswote. Maybe I should have qualified which sort of agency. For example, "Big Dog" tours? Better yet, why don't you stand in the town square in any small city in Brazil where there is a pillory, and imagine bidding on a human being, to buy as your own personal property? Btw, I changed my posting, OK? It's full figured pigs, not fat pigs. More courteous, just like I was requested to be.
I want to finish now. If you want help, about Brazil, and you are a responsible person, I am willing to help. If you are a just a dingleburry, well, that's another matter altogether.
Obrigado
Big B
