Aweful slam

Just got this aweful email from beartrapping.com




How lame that they have to put a couple of great fun guys down to try to make money.

I have also tried to get off their mailing list for months, to no avail.

They suck

C'mon, give the guys at beartrapping a break. The hateful self-loathing homophobic gay bears need a place to be with their own.

(Personally, I ALWAYS use a masculine shade of toe-nail polish.)

Bear "Trappings" is more like it. Please someone tell me they are kidding about this! When the hell did "Bear" start to mean that we couldn't have fun and have our picture taken? If that's their point, then I'm not a Beartrapping-Bear either (their loss, not mine).

Bill & Andy are an inspiration to our entire worldwide community. This email blast will backfire on the senders horribly.

I found some sites online that comment on how horrible the owners of Iron Clad Media, the site owner, reply back with nasty emails when people sign up and then try to leave.

Pretty sad.

I joined up months ago to see what this site was about. After about 2 minutes, I decided to leave. But I couldn't delete my profile or anything.

And like you said, you can't get off the mailing list. I have unsubscribed many times and sent emails to them asking them to delete my profile and to stop spamming me to no avail.

What dorks! A real man wouldn't be a coward and hide in the corner when someone confronts him.

So I guess they mean it when they use the word TRAP.

What scum. It's sucks that negative advertising has become so popular. What ever happened to advertising what is good about something, rather than just bitching that others have some "problem"?

Bear trapping? More like Bear dropping.

and I just got some crap from bearmsn.com...

looks like greg, smells like greg, but Internic digging didn't turn up anything positive...

Not Greg's style. He usually use anonymized Network Solutions registry.

They sent out a mass mailing last August trying to claim that BigMuscle.com was closing.

Bill sent out a system message warning not to ever reply to them or you'll never get off their mailing lists.

This is just fucking sad. And to target such nice guys. Not to say that every man has to wear a pink boa or toenail polish... I don't, so I'd be a hypocrit to imply that they should. But I'll fully enjoy and support those who do! And yeah, i'll still play with em too! Stupid misguided homophobic macho crap definitions of what it is to be a "man" need to be put to rest. How annoying. And thanks for the warning! I'll definitely stay away from their site!

wow... totally fucked up. Glad I never found my way to their site, I certainly won't now :P

Oh girl... I don't need to tell you how pissed off this made me... You know me...

Freaking asshats.


Also, I will be coming down to the Bay Area on May 31- June 4th... Hope to see you at Sundance... We'll get girly with our hands..

Even more sad than the ad itself is that the fact it has a sympathetic target audience.

Nothing more unattractive than someone trying to "prove" their masculinity and thinking themself superior to others in the process.

A friend forwarded that email to me, I am not even sure why he did.

My first response was it absolutely okay to wear girly hats or paint your toenails ar anything the fuck else... Holy Crap! What kinda of repressed concept is that?

My real question, since I have only been guessing and don't spend much time on-line outside of LJ... What site is this email blasting...?

[identity profile] gryphons-hole.livejournal.com 2007-05-16 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for the information.

Although I have not ever posted my own profile there, I have always found it easy to view others that did, which is certainly rare for all those sites...

I think I like the idea of bigmusclebears even more now, to know that the owners don't have such limited notions of how gay men should act or appear...
