Oh, wait a minute! Sarcasm! Now why didn't I see that without the smilie?

(1 post)Arthur, the murderer, claims he isn't gay, however, he approached David on gayarrangements.com. Once he moved in he sure looked gay to me, he acted like David's boyfriend. David was in love. He thought arthur was "the one" David may have liked things freaky but he is being portrayed by this man as a rapist. Which is bull. Davids ex of over 5 years says david would've never done that. Other exes say the same. I believe this pos arthur had this planned from day 1. David was twice this guy's age, I believe he was drugged than tied up. David I hope you rest in peace after you haunt Arthur to death!!
