I really love that this talks about The Messenger. Just this morning I was walking up 8th Avenue near 20th and I saw the hottest damn Messenger. I can't tell you exactly what we did because if his bosses at the messenger company found out that he had sniffed poppers and taken a fist up his ass during the day they might want it from him too, and then what?

While I understand your indictment of boxing on medical/physical injury grounds, I find your disdain for Islam, gender roles and “barbaric” violence a completely hypocritical stance.

Ali’s religious affiliation has nothing to do with head injury. A great number of folks have converted to Islam without being k.o.’d. It’s a personal decision motivated by cultural, social, religious and personal needs. It fulfills and sustains many people’s identities and existence, and provides a foundation for constructing reality and meaning.

Judging from your films, you equate shoving large chunks of plastic up one’s ass as a means for ultimate personal satisfaction. Kind of simplistic if you ask me - but I’ll chalk that up to different strokes for different folks.

Secondly, a great number of your films are predicated on power, submission, humiliation and domination. Hey, I’m not knocking it – I think Arpad Miklos is hot as hell - but I don’t believe you are in any position to criticize another man’s self-definition of masculine power.

As for your disdain for Ali’s belief in traditional dress – I could only chuckle when contemplating the number of your leather films that rely heavily on conventional, albeit risqué, wardrobe choices and traditional role playing. Leather queens are some of the fussiest bitches I’ve ever seen when it comes to garment choices.

I recently watched a video of you with Lady Bunny. You asked LB if she envied your rings, baubles and business acumen. I have to ask you -- are power, money, possessions, a huge dick and a washboard stomach your defining characteristics of success?

One can only conjecture what sort of vacuous, narcissistic sense of entitlement compels you to constantly criticize and critique those whose lives are so very different than your own.

Entitlement is not enlightenment, Michael.

Before you judge a man who overcame segregation, poverty and racism by forcing his fist against another man’s face, I’d ask, is shoving your fist up another man’s ass for money any different?

Tight Hole, I really don't think that was the same messenger that Ali referred too. If it were, I think he would be a little less angry and not as inclined to declare war.

That being said, does any one else think it's just a little funny the way Gods from all walks of life only send messages of death and war? With all their infinite wisdom and higher plane of intelligence, you'd think they'd send words of peace, tolerance, and love. Or at the very least, the occasional Pick 4 numbers.

Maybe it's the messengers that need re-evaluating. If you think about it, the only ones that make the headlines are the ones that God told to kill.

In response to Rob Thurman:

Dear Rob,

You put me and my office members in stitches with your comment. Are you five? If not, you are a complete moron.

By the way, what the hell are you talking about? I never in my life produced a leather movie or any film "predicated on power, submission, humiliation and domination." You have been stroking off to some other director's movie.

As for Lady Bunny, don't you understand that she and I are great friends and it was only a joke? Are you really that dumb not to understand that?

Feel better.

-Michael

Who the fuck is this jerk-off Rob Thurman, or Rotten Turdman, or whatever he calls himself?

To judge by the horseshit he wrote in the above comment, there are two things he really ought to realize but does not. One is that arrogant pomposity and faux intellectualism do not equal enlightment. They actually come much closer to equalling a dust storm caused by a dinosaur fart. Another thing the Turdman should realize but does not is that unthinking tolerance towards those who would not be tolerant of you is idiotic.

To apply that principle to the hateful philosophy called "Islam," specifically regarding your comments about it here 1) Your explanation, which appears to be more of a justification and validation, of why a Homo sapiens would convert to Islam evidences just the form of imbecilic tolerance towards the intolerance which the above principle describes. If you think that Islam provides people with a legitimate "foundation for constructing reality and meaning," then you are a fucking asshole, and I don't use the word in the sexual sense. You don't get more than a few paragraphs into the Koran without learning that it is, according to a "supreme being" named "Allah," the only true book in the world, and that anybody who doesn't believe in it will receive a mighty penalty. The followers of that hateful philosophy believe all that poop. They imprison entire societies in a pre-literate mentality, (are you traveling to the Gaza Strip this weekend?) and they unnecessarily pit humanity into an us-against-them-forever-until-either-they-convert-or-we-kill-them. Those of us who have read through the whole book without believing in it can only roll our eyes when some non-Muslim comes along defending that hateful philosophy without knowing what it is. Islamic law calls for men who engage in gay sex to be killed, by the way. There are people who take up bank robbery and through it get all the benefits you have here described for Islamic converts; that in no way makes bank robbery a good thing. 2) You are completely fucked up in the head for saying that "Wardrobe choices and traditional role playing" in leather films (which Michael Lucas does not even produce; jeez you are a fucking asshole!)is akin to the male Muslim oppression of women achieved in part by clothing laws. First off, it's understood by people with IQs above the double-digit range that sex role play whether on film or not is a manner of acting out specifically sexual fantasies and that it is done with the mutual consent of those participating for their mutual enjoyment. When the sex is over, which is to say, when the play period is over, the roles the people assumed during the romp have nothing to very very little to do with what is going on in their non-sexual lives. By contrast, Muslim women in Muslim majority societies that enforce the dress code don't have a choice about what they can or can not wear. The clothing laws are continued and enforced by men, for the purpose of maintaining their unjustifiable social superiority to women. In Saudi Arabia (did you know this, you fucking asshole?) women are not allowed to drive, period. As for fisting, whether for money or not, the people who enjoy that sexual activity genuinely enjoy it. They don't often do it to people who say they don't want to do it, because those people tighten their assholes right up and those fists ain't goin' nowhere. You moronically claim that Nauseous Clay overcame racism through boxing; yet in a quote in this very blog post, we read that Nauseous had no tolerance for mixed-race relationships. He obviously did not overcome racism through boxing or anything else.

Yet the main reason you are a fucking asshole is that you gave all these ill-reasoned reproaches to the post, quite obviously without having understood its main point. That main point is that an American presidential candidate should not give even the appearance of endorsing the views of a Muslim who claims that valid wars are the ones "declared by Allah or his Messenger." The 9/11 attackers believed they were involved in precisely such a war, and thousands of innocents died. It is true that through his policies, George W. Bush has put the United States in a moral situation as regards wars that absolutely must be corrected. But that really is the whole point. The next president of the United States must believe with all of his mind that there is no justification for any so-called "pre-emptive" war, by which is meant, violently attacking a foreign country that was no threat to your own country's security. He must stand philosophically firm against any sort of brain fart that promotes unnecessary warfare, whether it comes from a jerky Texan or a permanently brain damaged convert to Islam.

I could demonstrate point by point of the points you made here where there is fatally flawed reasoning in each one. But you are a total asshole, and I am out of toilet paper. I have met Lady Bunny in person and from having met her can guarantee you that she would like to KO you with a right jab to the head.
