It's true that I did have a sort of (largely - as pretty much always in my case - cerebralized and verbalized) "cock-sucking" thing going with Mero there for a while.
It was all part of the (with hindsight and by comparison with the blighted and joyless present situation) rather jolly fun of all varieties that was going on on Crackyhouse about six months ago.
I don't think I've ever engaged or wanted to engage in anything resembling a "cock-sucking" relation with Jeff, though. Certainly not in any real or literal sense - as I say, I didn't even go that far with Mero. "dog-and-master" video-games notwithstanding - but not in the sense that I imagine you mean either: i.e. the sense of expressing an affection and admiration for him that could be preceived as verging on the adulatory and sycophantic.
It's true that I did feel a degree of admiration and affection for Jeff at one time. He seemed to me, for years, to be a basically decent and intelligent guy of a sort that it is very unusual to encounter in a milieu like this and, for all its faults, Crackyhouse, I think, was, from 2007 up to last year, a valid and credible attempt to maintain a forum for a certain shared interest / obsession / whatever (assuming, that is, that one considers obsessing for years over a girl who clearly doesn't approve of people obsessing about her to be even potentially a "valid" activity, which I'm not sure I do, but that's another question entirely).
I've lost all respect for Jeff in the last year or so, though. Personally, I think the state of this site is a very strong argument in favour of the position that the Cracky thing is just over now, and should be put out of its misery. However you come down on that question, though, there can be no argument about the fact that what Jeff is currently doing, encouraging, and tolerating over on Crackyhouse is cancelling out whatever merit and "moral credibility" he may have acquired in the "Crackyverse" over the past five or six years.
The only material that he still has to work with is this one attention-starved, mentally-ill little chav girl and the five or six charmless male sycophants who - for reasons that frankly remain a mystery to me - seem to enjoy skipping and yelping aroud her, getting excited about whatever she gets excited about, for months on end. "What she gets excited about" seldom if ever includes anything with even a tenuous connection with Cracky...
(oddly, or maybe not so oddly, nobody on CH ever seems to comment on the fact that every one of Lia's magnanimous and unselfish "let's-do-a-thread-about-Cracky" threads begins with a photo of herself and turns, at most within the space of two more posts, into a thread about Lia)
...so any kudos that has to go to Jeff for dropping in on Lia and her gang once a year and posting something that IS Cracky-related is neutralized and more than neutralized by the fact that Jeff's once-a-year Cracky posts give Lia the excuse that she's gagging for to jabber on constantly about her and her "Crackyfags", how "proud she is of the Crackyverse right now" etc. while in fact queening it over a board that is about nothing but her and her cheap, chavvy little fads and pastimes.
If Jeff actually were the decent and intelligent person I once believed him to be, he'd certainly scrap his board at this point - or, alternatively, just call it what it is: "A Board for Lia and Her Friends to Post Any Shit They Like On", so that at least Lia might shut up at last with all this lying annoying "Crackyfags" bullshit.
Why doesn't he?
Again, I have to admit I'm as stuck for an answer to that question as I am for one to the question of why five or six not-entirely-stupid young men spend half their lives with their tongues stuck up the ass of a no-class, evidently loony, and not particularly sexually attractive girl like Lia.
It doesn't seem very plausible to me that two people like Jeff and Kimi feel they need the "ego-bolstering" that comes from administering and moderating an (extremely low-traffic) site. I think they both have lives, and other sources of ego-bolstering - as is indicated clearly enough, indeed, by the fact that neither of them feel any need or temptation to actually socialize with the users of the site they're running and just leave Lia and the other worthless chavs who are standing in for "Crackyfags" to their own devices.
Why, then? As I say, it beats me. Some private agenda they believe (rightly, apparently) Lia and her arse-lickers are stupid and desperate enough to allow themselves to be used for without being let in on what aim is actually being pursued?
Whatever the truth about the matter, I've lost, as I say, all my respect for anyone consciously or unconsciously involved in it.
