1.) Why does your Cybersocket link take you to their Facebook page instead of their website ?

2.) Since I'm using a pseudonym and none of what I'm about to write should hurt him, I'd like to brag that I got Mark Pocan to get my friends and I a room at the Hotel Continental in Chicago back when I was a baby gay in the 90's. He was staying there for some sort of conference, and was down from Wisconsin. The expectation was sex when he came to our room to "just make sure we were taken care of." At that time, my relationship had been opened (without my consent) by my increasingly psychotic and abusive so-called boyfriend, so I didn't think there would be a problem. I was very wrong. Psychotic "boyfriend" was jealous that I was the one who Mark wanted. Anyway, we finally managed an awkward oral quickie in the bathroom. I remember he was a great kisser, very much into body contact, and had a nice endowment. He also did his best to let me know that I was in danger and that relationships shouldn't be like that, but unfortunately it took me a few more years to realize that. Anyway, he was a very nice man and a fun time. I've followed his political career ever since.
