This comment concerns the incident with creeper and keeson; creeper first of all had no right to put hands on him no matter if he claims he was playin, he was wrong! Keeson did not threaten anyone unless someone puts hands on him and he has the right to feel that way. The guys in there were constinly pushing him ,pushing his buttons.I dont even want to watch the program anymore because in order to be a gentleman you must be a man which none of them are. They are nothing more then punks.All keeson was doing after this incident he was only venting reaching out for one of them to be a friend someone he could at least talk to with some respect,this was before talking to Mr. Bently for the last time.

Keeson to me was the life of the program in which he shows inspiration. I truly felt being on the show would have gentlemized him. Only being dogged out by the members of the club. Keeson talking to his shorty(wife),while eating dinner (bothering nobody) being forcefully grabbed, and the phone being hung up on his wife by another member who’s name is Creeper. Is enough to bust anybodies bubble. Were the other members really G’s or should the name of the show be changed to “pussy’s to gentlemen”
