I have been having a ongoing argument with Aussie Greg the owner of the Medellin Mansion in Medellin Colombia for the past 6 months. Up till now it has been fairly benign mostly just humorous insults, but the other day he crossed the line by posting my home address on line and threatend me with physical harm. He got my information from the registration card I filled out when I stayed at the Mansion last year. The owner of the web site where he posted it is a good friend of Gregs so he refuses to remove the post. Since the damage is done I do not believe that any legal recourses will do any good. I have requested that my subscription be canceled to the website which would automaticly erase my name and remove any posts but the owner also refuses to do that. I am at my wits end on what to do. I do not have the money to hire a lawyer so I guess basicly, I'm Screwed. I guess it proves the old saying "You lie down wit dogs you get up with fleas" and I have found out the hard way that Aussie Greg has lots of fleas.

Miguel_Clavo says on May 20, 2007, 18:51: As i understand it, prostitution is legal, but running a brothel where the owner gets a cut of the money between the hooker and john is illegal....but the owner can cash in on everything else.....so they claim they are not a brothel because they dont take a cut like a pimp does....but being a pimp and running a brothel are 2 different things...

Robert Jorge says on May 20, 2007, 19:09: Medefockinllin, I sure didn't want to upset you. How dare I suggest something as stupid as "they don't advertise it as a whore house?" Forgive me for not delving deeper into the website. I looked the site up, clicked on a few things ... I didn't see a thing talking about prostitution. Why don't you chill out a little. Life's too short to worry about a stupid ass like me who might be ignorant and living on another planet. Jeeeez. --"I believe in making the world safe for our children.

Robert Jorge says on May 20, 2007, 19:33: I looked at the site a little closer ... nope, I didn't see anything suggesting prostitution. Now, I have no doubt that this must be what these guys are up to, judging by the posts. I still didn't see anything on the site hinting at it; unless I missed something, looked at the wrong site, or a few pics with chicks eating dinner at a big table is considered implied prostitution. Put it this way: If I was searching for a place to stay in Medellin that provided services such as prostitution, I would not have picked the Medellin mansion from the Google search. --"I believe in making the world safe for our children.

Robert Jorge says on May 20, 2007, 19:54: I went on down the list that Google produced ... didn't take long to see the stuff from "worldsextourist.com" and other sites like that. Before, I looked at the first hit that came up and it looked like a legit place. It was the "official" website I suppose. Again, I was never doubting what was going on, just commenting that the website didn't say anything about hookers. --"I believe in making the world safe for our children.

tejasmarcos says on May 20, 2007, 19:57: mm operates in a gray area. the girls that need to make a few extra bucks all know about it and there seems to be a steady flow of girls that filter through. nothing wrong with the concept of a boutique hotel catering to men who need some action. it is the fact that for some reason mongers also have the maturity level of middle schoolers. they constantly bicker and infight amongst each other, inevitably leading to people taking sides and trash talking. trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine... 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

chrispej says on May 20, 2007, 23:29: Sorry, but I have to defend Greg. I have stayed at the Mansion for a couple of weeks to try something different and made many good friends there, but it's not my lifestyle. Greg treats all his clients with respect and dignity. Unfortunately, he does have to deal with "trailor trash" every now and then.

panthdave says on May 21, 2007, 05:07: This is Great I defend the Mansion.....and Greg First how can you can post if you don't hear the other side first...First the Mansion is not a whorehouse its like any place in Medellin..It is a legit business/hotel and you can almost think the same as Mangos prepagos everywhere..As for Greg yes he gets into arguments but who doesn't because he deals in the service industry and I have noticed he has a short temper but that doesn't make a bad person and does not tolerate bullshit or trash. The house is very clean and does not tolerate drugs, loud parties at night which is Gregs Rules..The rooms are very clean and he has many employees for the office,maids,janitor,mainetence.security guards.The place is very clean..Yes he allows many prepagos to come in with the guys but god damn look Elmo with the prepagos.. He basically allows prepagos which the Sheraton does too.. His main income is the rooms... panthdave Miami 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Brians says on May 21, 2007, 05:38: See that guy at Mangos all the time and the whole group is ridculous. They parade a weekly line up of 50 something fat gringos who think they are god's gift to paisas. Anyway to each there own and there is a market for it. They just annoy the shit out of me. As far as drama these patrons of the Mansion definately make for good conversation. The Aussie is funny because he basically has lived there for a few years and can't speak any spanish. He gets drunk and makes an ass of himself. Give it time as I am sure he will eventually piss of the wrong person. I had a couple of them try to spark up a conversation with me in the mall last time down. The guys I met were basically trailer park but who knows maybe they aren't all that bad. I stay as far away from these guys as possible.
