Male Bonding2
For those who like to explore the concept and dynamics of male bonding. Men are socialized in different ways in different societies, and so many men would like to have close male friendships, yet after spending time establishing a career, primary relationship and live in general, find themselves without close male friends.

Moderator's notice: Problem members
Return to DiscussionsFor those who are long time members/contributors to this group, you may remember we had a "problem member" (AZCoolDude). He's back as "LifeChanging" and just tried to get back into the group. He caused quite a bit of trouble for some individual members and agitated the group quite a bit. Just wanted you all to be aware. Because of his history, I have denied him membership.
Thanks...we were a couple of the people who had a run in with him.
Sounds like a lot of you were affected by this guy. Being in the dark, I'm curious to know what happened. How was he a "pest," and what kind of "run ins" were there with this guy. (now I'm intrigued--inquiring minds want to know)
Anyone curious about the history of this individual can scroll back through previous discussion threads in this group and you'll find his old username pop up more than a couple times. Here's a direct link to one from the tail end of the last adventure with him (you can find it on page 6 of the discussion threads) - https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=1204&idt=86849&vpage=1
For those who were not around or not active at the time, to put this in a nutshell, AZCoolDude, or now "LifeChanging" is very demanding, expecting a lot from others with giving very little back. He'd jump into conversations in this group and in others and be very confrontational, agitating the situation, insulting and hurting people. In this group in particular, he was threatening to use information and personal thoughts that had been shared in our conversations to either "out" them to their wives, churches and jobs, or otherwise just cause a lot of trouble. This is meant to be a place where men can share and open up confidentially and he was going to compromise that. So working with TN administration, I bounced him, and his old profile was deleted by TN. Since then, he has been back under a number of different names, though this is the first time he's tried to rejoin Male Bonding.
