Re: Brad (a/k/a the_Baron)

This is Brad's friend Tony. According to Brad, I am his only friend outside this Forum who knows about his interest.

I received an E-Mail from him a short time ago, asking me to post a message for him.

The following is a direct quote of what he asked me to write:

Dear Friends at the Forum. I have become increasingly frustrated over my inability to meet a nice woman who also happens to share this interest. The opportunities to engage in playtime games with female members come every now and then, but would have involved travel that wasn't easily arrangeable.

And ultimately, it is not only playtime I want.

I have left my job and as of this afternoon, I am dropping out of life. I am leaving my home, and wandering about this country of ours, but no longer in search of a good tickle time.

I have no idea what the future will bring. I hope it is easy though.

Goodbye.

Baron, you get yourself back in here right now!!!! that's an order

This makes me really depressed, I must admit. What the hell???

 

[Krokus]

um, ok. That came out of nowhere. Well, I wish you all the best Baron....your a funny guy, and a smart guy. You will go far.

This is not to sound judgemental, for the Baron and I have had our issues in the past, but if what was written here is true, and Iam not saying this to be mean, The Baron probably should seek counseling to deal with his issues and situation. As I have not always had a girlfriend when I've wanted, and have dealt with very tough personal problems in the two years I've been on TMF, including the loss of my business and my father, I havent just given up on life due to it. I have taken my knocks, gotten back up, and pressed on. Were I to speak with him, this is the advice I'd give him. When confronted with tough problems or less than ideal situations, the best solution is to
confront such head on to try and make things better. The post about the Baron shocks me to a degree, as he always seemed like a very together and sure of himself guy. Some people go through periods when they just need time to sort things out, and maybe this is what he needs as well. Whatever the case, although we were not exactly friends, I dont like to hear this about anyone, so I hope he finds his way, whatever that is, so that he can get his life back on track. If he can reach a point where he can find inner peace and happiness within himself, that will be most important before anything. I've learned from my own experiences that if you are not a happy person, and dont have inner peace, you cant be good for anyone else. Hopefully this is just a down period for him, and he can get it back together. Whatever the case, differences or not, from a human standpoint, I wish him well.

i remember posting about returning to the chat.. his reply was something about the less the better and do what i want... my turn and im gonna be a bitch on this one mods delete it if you want

the less the better, and it's no wonder you cant find a girl with the way you treat them on here.

 

[TicklishSinner]

wow!! i wish him the best, stop by Arizona sometime!!

 

[AquaFeline]

f/f, I obviously do not know your personal experiences, but I find it unfair for you to speak for all the girls here. Perhaps I did not know him for long enough but he always treated me cordially.

 

[shylittleme]

i don't know the the_Baron that well at all. But whatever he's going through right now or whatever he is facing i still wish him all the best of luck in this world and in life.

this may be inappropriate to say. But maybe just maybe The Holy Spirit is speaking to him and God is tucking at him and at the way he lives his Life and at the way he's in need of something more and real and something really worth hanging onto that will never pass away when his life is over. and if thats the case then i fully support him in his decisions to follow after Jesus and to get to know him better and openly (if he doesn't already have a personal relationship with him)


you will be missed the_baron

 

[the_Baron]

Okay -

i am leaving the motel on leg one of my aimless journey, and decided to log onto the internet (its included with you stay) -

here are some brief comments (can he really be brief???):

Mitch - thanks for the concern. Although, must you constantly point out our differences? They are mostly political. Ha! I supoose therapy might help. Now that I read the post I asked Tony to write, it sounds much worse than it should. Dropping out of life and all. I guess its more accurate to say i'm on a "finding yourself" tour.


F/F - I recall the post to which you refer. If memory serves me entirely well, I think I was in my socially conservative mood, and picked on you because of some alternative positions. Not that I should have anyway. But really - to say its no wonder i don't find a girl. All kidding aside, I date constantly and have had many relationships - I treausre a woman's company and respect them infinately. I've just never had a relationship with someone who also enjoyed tickling. I encourage you to seek references from some of the ladies here - I am decent I tell ya!


Shy - I do have a relationship with our Savior. Thanks for using the opportunity to speak of His Glory. I am hoping to hear more of His voice during my travels. God Bless.


Smurfie - oh, one day baby! with Jester's consent, of course. besides, I still need to pick up some of that cinnaburst!


Krokus - you the man! if i was gay you know i'd want ya!


Feline - I would give you the world if i could lasso it! You are always tops! AS Dorothy said to the scarecrow, I will miss you most! (heck, I missed you even when I was in NJ)

And now possee, I make for the great unknown!

Peace.

Whatever you decide, man, good luck to ya. Make sure ya stop at some White Castles along the way for me. Also, if you learn any new "worst smells in the world", be sure to come back and share them with us. 😉 Good luck in your quest, Cain, and be careful on that Jersey turnpike. We'll miss ya.

 

[venray]

Remember if ya come near the CT area at all in your travels to let me know.

You know where we are if you need us Baron......

That's true, Baron, and my apologies if I harped on that. Truth be told, I have differences politically with a lot of posters on here , but from a human standpoint, seriously, I hope you find what you're looking for.
You mentioned Tony making it sound worse than it was. Honestly, he did make it sound quite dramatic. Everyone needs time to sort things out from time to time, and we all do so in our own ways. It might have sounded less dramatic if you had come on here yourself saying something like "Hi, guys, this is Baron, and I'm going to be gone for a while finding myself" The way Tony put it, almost made it sound like you had just dropped out of and left life. Now you clarified that. Good Luck to you. I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.

Baron, you won't find your true self elsewhere. By traveling, you change only the location, not the personality. You always take your own problems with you, wherever you roam. Running about aimlessly may uproot yourself, instead of finding some harmony and peace within yourself. It's okay to change your surroundings for a while to see things from a different perspective, but not as a final solution to your problems.

From your previous posts, I see that you seem to be quite religious. Whatever people (and I) may think about religion, it often helps to find some calmness, and maybe even to focus on your true self. Take that from a dinosaur who has roamed five continents...

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck.

 

[TKpervert]

Hey Baron, leaving your job and your home makes this sound pretty serious.
How are you wandering ? In your own vehicle ? That takes money, as does staying in motels.
Keep your cool and don't do anything rash.
Be sure to pick motels that have internet hookups so you can keep us posted as to how it's going. You took your laptop along, which means you took the TMF along. We're just a keystroke away

 

[crydun]

Brad, this is Crystal. I'm extremely worried about you, dear. You need to call me or e-mail me or something. In the meantime, you will be in my prayers.

P.S.... Are you coming to OH on your travels???

 

[TummyDragon]

You can certainly meet your dream woman

Hi Baron,
While I don't know you really, I wanted to drop a message to you. You can definately meet the woman of your dreams who shares your fetish with you. Rio (ForeverRio) and I don't often post about our relationship because we don't want to come across as bragging or throwing our good fortune in the faces of others who are extremely frustrated over not having found that someone special. But, we are an absolute success story of internet meeting leading to complete happiness. The point is, you *can* meet the woman you envision in your fantasies. You just might have to travel (which you are in the process of doing, heh) to find her, and be open to the possibility of relocating to wherever your dreams take you. God, life is just too short not to *GO FOR IT* when the opportunity arises.

Rio and I met several years ago(1995) through the Alt.Sex.Fetish.Tickling newsgroup (the TMF of yesteryear), and became online friends. Then after getting to know each other through chat over time, we decided to meet. We began visiting on a regular basis, and a real relationship blossomed grew from that online friendship. In 1998, I packed up all my stuff in a Ryder truck, and set out for the unknown of a new city to be with the most wonderful woman in the world, who also shares my fetish.

There are *many* other relationship success stories of meetings through the online tickling forums. There is no reason in the world why anyone who wants to be with a perfect tickling mate in this day and age cannot *FIND* one. One just needs to be openminded to the possibility of going to wherever that dream make take him/her. I also firmly believe that tickling fetishists are far more numerous than any of us first suspected. I think we are virtually everywhere on the planet and in notable numbers. You might even want to place some personal ads in your local media (whatever that might be) to see if there is a possibility near you.

I firmly believe patience and perseverance are key factors. Afterall, we put so much time and effort in developing our careers, and are usually willing to relocate for a great job. Well, really, how much MORE important is a true life partner than a stupid job? Damn, a job is simply trading hours of your life for money.. your life partner is the sharing and gratification of your soul. I think we should take the search for a partner at least (and more in my opinion) as seriously and with as much effort as we pursue a career.

Don't wait for the perfect mate to fall upon your doorstep. Go FIND your dream girl, and don't settle for anything less.

David

I wish you all the best Baron, pop by and update us on your travels will ya? 🙂

 

[Ayla ny]

everyone has already said so many meaningful things. I have to agree with Hal that moving yourself physically doesn’t provide as many answers as that ever painful, but ever powerful, inner-exploration can. and I also really agree with TummyDragon (LOVED your post about getting a ticklish friend’s belly on a road trip, btw.) that taking chances for personal fulfillment is every bit as important as (if not more than!) the chances we are willing to take for work, etc.

good luck, Baron. if I weren’t a chronic scaredy cat with a mortgage and two wonderful boys… I might have done the same thing a few years ago.

keep us posted, and let us know if you find any really cool stuff written on the walls of the bathroom stalls in the rest stops. (for some reason your post made me think of a book I read in which the character did just that lol)
