Stumbled upon this. An event advertisement that boasts a "Masked" Ping Pong event?
http://www.meetup.com/pingpong-76/messages/55540792/
When: Friday, July 26,[masked]:00 PM
Where: Comet Ping Pong
5037 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC 20008
[masked]
When you go to the poster's profile, he says this about himself. Remember: this is HIS choice of words, not anyone else's:

Introduction: Hey, I love to play this game. I prefer paddles without padding.....don't ask. Anyway, ready for competition!
There's a whole list of people participating, but to me it's more proof that Comet is just one big family-friendly pizza joint!

I don't want to say until I'm sure. I really do try to be responsible. Like this event. I posted it because of the masking, but I haven't called anyone out. It could have been a fun event -- I don't know. The sexual innuendos added to the masking got me suspicious, but the collective wisdom is it's nothing.

But the information is given as to where and when the meetup is, but other information is masked.
I don't know. There is sexual language being used, but if it's not a lead and all the participants are interested in is playing ping pong, fine.
There is also one member of this group that I believe I've seen in JA's Instagram account. I didn't give the name or call attention because I wasn't sure. It looks like the consensus thinks this is a party event with no lurid underpinnings. I'm fine with going with the herd mentality. I thought it was suspicious because of the masking of information. Naturally, if it was the where and when, I would have understood. But you freely post the where and when and then hold back on other info? Plus you're using sexual innuendo? It could be that it's used as a singles event ... again, nothing wrong with that. Thanks for your feedback.

The where and when is posted online. That's the point. If the where and when are online, what's the privileged part?
quantokitty ago
But why would I need to join the group. They give the date and time. Why the need for info to be confidential. It's ping pong!

That looks green. On my screen, blue. What can I say?

MASKED!!!! You don't know what masked is? The information is blocked. Why would it be blocked? They're announcing where and when it is ... it doesn't make sense.

As in paddling a child with a paddle is what I take from it.

It's this type of stuff that makes us look like idiots. Logic here people. Come on.... You really can't figure out what "Masked" means here?

The posting of this type of shit is why no one takes it seriously. But by all means go chase all the members listed in the link above.

Can someone copy and store the thing? There is a list of everybdy that went here: http://www.meetup.com/pingpong-76/events/128768702/ "I prefer paddles without padding.....don't ask." = I prefer fucking without condom.
"Come out, grab a paddle, jump on a table, play till u sweat. Now repeat about a few more times. Or until notified to leave!" What could thins MEAN?
quantokitty ago
Sounds like completely innocent fun to me.

Far stretch here. You guys are starting to wear horse blinders and only see it in a devious manner. Do you think everyone that goes to Comet is a pedo? Like I posted... spend the time on your wild goose chase reviewing every single member of that MeetUp group. What a waste of time.
You really think this guy meant "Fucking without a condom" ? Seriously?

"[masked]" just means that the information isn't displayed (probably because you aren't a member of this meetup group).
quantokitty ago
You're making it sound even more insidious.

Maybe meetup was a tool made for these people. Tor very well could have been. Everyone loves privacy and anonymity but in the end who does it benefit most?

I guess I am not seeing any connections here. To me i looks like real ping-pong players when looking at the meetup info and pics. Am I missing something? This does not show proof of anything good or bad.

Green is for hustler/prostitution as per the good ol handkerchief code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code

Blue & black = Oral sex/S&M

It looks green on my phone... Or are you talking about his shirt/pants?
quantokitty ago
No, the handkerchief in his back pocket.
It's blue.
