Interesting suggestion. I was pretty upset that he would so strongly accuse me of doing something that isn't morally/ethically me at all... and I do have his real name and school e-mail addy. I don't know if I'm THAT pissed off, but he wasted my time, so perhaps I could waste a bit of his. And if this "thoroughly researched thesis" of his goes into print, it WOULD be based on falsities/assumptions/BS... *contemplating*

You do have a penchant for attention from the atot community from some of your previous threads. Also it seems you have a habit of posting about people doing what they like to do and making a ton of money (ie your break-dancing friend and the Justin Timberlake). As a result, it doesn't surprise me that you're trying to make some $$$$ off by the tickets. I don't know if you posted that offer anywhere but remember ATOT has 100k members and who knows how many lurkers. You're bound to get a wacked response from someone.

And people that post pics of their car, YAGT threads, pics of their prom, about their food, etc aren't doing it for attention? Why is it when a female here discusses anything personal, they're attention whore?

Just tell his school that he's using their internet connection to solicit minors online. You must have one underage friend, Dezign ... ;)

I'm sure she could easily get one.

Now based on what you posted about that guy's response, he's got a couple screws loose. Good thing you didnt go through with that otherwise you could have put a girlfriend in danger. He sounds like a wacko. Now you didn't accept the $400 for the "entertainment" with your female friend, but had you then by definition you would have been running an escort service. An escort service is where a client pays someone to have a date and companionship regardless of them having sex.

If you want money why not contact one of the ATOTers from your boardgame meet? Im sure you would feel more comfortable with them.

Uh.... you sound confused. Did you read any of my other threads?

I offered the tickets up for the "most creative" offer on an Internet barter/swap site. I would go, except I'm going to fly to Vegas to spend time with some friends who just got back from the Middle East (all are safe, one was just shot in the butt).

This guy offered $3,000 which caught my attention because it was way above and beyond the other offers I'd received (beats a $50 and Sony TV or Elton John merchandise :p ).

How does being curious about the most generous offer make me "want money"?

o_O

And thank you for pointing out my "penchant for attention".

It really isn't surprising that there isn't more females posting here... they all get driven away.

I have a 17-year-old friend who turns 18 in July. She qualifies as a minor in California, right?

Actually not a bad idea -- he needs to learn about ethics in research now, before he gets funding to start having "fun" with larger numbers of subjects / victims. He also needs to learn the difference between research and coercion, unless his goal is to be part of some government mind-control project ;)

Ever watch Meg Ryan and Tim Robbins in I.Q.? The scene with the "time deprivation" subject? Sounds like something this guy is heading towards doing.
