Is He Straight, Gay or Bi?

I think he is Bi because of several things. Maybe it all started here when his mom and stepdad divorced in 1992, after his stepfather attempted (unsuccessfully) to molest him, according to his post.

Than people were doing search after search on him and alot has been found, like this link but do not bother clicking it as it has been deleted once Crook found out people knew about it, however I have the fullscreenshot of it with his photo intact. A photo that has never surfaced but in that site.

Some of it says:
Handle: silentmikeny
silentmikeny is: a man
Looking for: a Women, couples (M & F}
Interested in: Erotic chat or email, Discreet relationship. 1-on-1 sex, group sex
From: United States, New York, Syracuse

below the picture it has more stuff and his age as 26.also mentions again what he is looking for. ages 18-30

Than people started having some fun with him like this this person. If you notice the IM and the email are screenshots.I honestly think it is legit..the email if you do a google search, it will show it is Crooks (eastcoastdude2004).

Remember when his site had him coming out?

It started with 'There's no other way to say something like this, other than to just say it.I'm gay."

There is a screenshot with that but for the rest, you can view it all here. Just keep scrolling down till you get to it.

Someone at one time, emailed me the screenshot to this but it never showed what site it was from. I did a quick check on it and found the site. His post is number 15. yoga at the discoteque Part of what he says is:

I do consider myself widely traveled in gay bars and clubs (known for our cutting edge dancing, just ask madonna}

Than he was found in Paradise Found using the name Silentmike and in one post he said:

Heck yeah...my wife's a die-hard Mormon...she would kill me, rip me to pieces, and divorce those pieces if she ever knew I came to PF, let alone get dances.

I doubt that post is still around but screenshots of this is onhand, in case the wife would like them. And maybe he still visits that forum. Or maybe some of you can meet up with him there and chat of course.

I often wonder if his real reason for his copycat Craiglist experiment was really so he can get nude photos of men for his own personal satisfaction. And for him saying those things about the married men, he can't speak much about them with his own actions when he visits PF as a married man himself.

I Think I Found His Secret Recipe

A Recipe For Stupidity

½ cup of spite
2 tablespoons of resentment
12 ounces of fanaticism
1 ½ cup of belief in own infallibility

Stir till it looks dumb and put on highest heat indefinitely. If it burns to a crisp, blame someone else.

Alot Going On Since Word Of The EFF Lawsuit

Here are a couple sites about the case in general.

In this, they talk about the case and has some good information in it.

And here is 'An Open Letter to Michael Crook' written by Jonathan Bailey, explaining to him that you do not own the copyright to your image.

Somes laughs right here at 10zenmonkeys

Another laugh about that article is that MSC is claiming the school photo was stolen from his site, and the fact said photo was there for a long time. I highly doubt it ever was on his site or the fact anyone stole it from there.

And than we have Tucker Max VS MSC online debate.

I find it hilarious that he calls the information Tucker posted was pure bullshit, especially when he is claiming of never having any children. I guess MSC forgot the 2 separate radio interviews he had, first one was with the the NHBRadio around early 2000, when he lived in Ohio. The second one was with the Steve and DC show, the second interview he had with them, when he admittted he in fact was not going to fight a Vet, like he said he would in the previous interview with them. He also mentioned the fact of being married and had a child. So maybe now he has no children, but to say he never had any is a lie. Unless all the times he claimed of having a child was a lie, than it just shows either way, he flat out is a liar in my book.

MSC has a statement on his site where he said if only they (people with the photo of him up) just simply shut up, asked no questions and complied with the law, this whole thing could have been avoided.

Another thing MSC has said was that he's all for free speech until it's used against him, then he fights back.

So I guess in his mind, it's ok for him to post photos or information on innocent people, yet if anyone posts his photo it is not ok.

The way I see it, is they have the right to speak up, ask questions and comply with the law, which is what they are doing now via the lawsuit.
