+1 to Jett's opinion below. Oh....and there's a lot more to it than simply "....Boyd got fired...." (despite the posts from my esteemed colleague Zunbake3 who has posted he has had direct email contact with Bktuna who has employed, it seems, LAW #1 of the Streets: MASSIVE DENIAL: "WHAT ME? DO SUCH A THING? HOW COULD YOU EVEN SUSPECT THAT?! WE'RE FRIENDS!!!!!; blah, blah, blah, blah....").

Over the past 1 1/2 years, ( 16 trips) I have stayed at HLH 14 weeks. Needless to say, I know the entire HLH crew very well. Boyd is a friend to many, myself included. As his friend, I can do nothing other than wish him well.
HLH will continue to improve, but as everyplace in CR, it will have its peaks and valleys.
Life is too short to discuss this any longer!
Let's put the topic of "T" back in CRT! Lol
Nah, I say we keep it going.
Boyd was not just a manager of HLH, he was like family among many of you.
It's amusing to me that we as mongers go to very edges of the earth to dig up the hottest puta gems for the least amount of money. No stone is unturned and every find is talked about and debated. Dudes are willing to get robbed, mugged, and in some cases shot in bad sections of San Jose just to find that hidden "10" piece of ass. But when it comes to a guy who for all intents and purposes is part and parcel of a SJO institution, and the guy skips town and is "released from employment," we're supposed to just move on?
We are P4P detectives, gentlemen! Is it any wonder this whole Boyd thing doesn't pass the smell test. Wise up, fellas! You can detect an RFM from a mile away but you can't see the mess that just went down? I ain't gonna lie, I'm curious as hell. Besides, what's the harm in saying "Boyd was fired for cause?" We would mumble, gripe and then go back to our monger lives. But NOOOOOOOOO! Instead, we get the "Mistakes
may have been made, please return to normal" line.
Bottom line: Boyd got fired. I could only imagine that if I were in a situation like Boyd, I would want my "friends" to know that I'm alright. I would come out and thank my "friends" for their kindness to me, my family and the CRT community through the years. On the opposite side, I would expect my "friends" to have my back. I would expect my "friends" to actually WANT to know what happened to me since they actually give a damn or at least said that they did when times were good. Since neither side is saying anything the speculation and stories will persist.
Since the prosecution is HLH management, the burden of making this right falls to them. I say it's best to deal with this right now, squash the rumors and innuendo and move on.
We're grown men here, we can handle it!
