Hey Guys,

Yaqi, I wish you the best of everything. I hope that your health improves and you are definitely a tremendous asset to the Tickling Community. You definitely brought tickling to the mainstream in a great way.

Good Luck.

 

[TMF Jeff]

All the best Yaqi!
Good luck!

 

[Phineas]

and we should be sorry to see you go, if this is your last hurrah?You've "held us in contempt" and posted links to your sniping and insults around here for a long time. Never stopped you from coming back or sitting in the chatroom before.

Here's the press release in full, for those of you not wanting to wade through Stern's site.

Yaqi, king of all ticklers,

"Who're the Britons?"

"We all are. We're all Britons. And I am your king."

"Well, I didn't vote for you!"

is leaving the internet,
citing critical health issues and an irretrievable
contempt for the tickling community as reasons for his
departure.

Sorry to hear about the illness. honest. But you couldn't leave it at that? No, you had to take one last swift kick at us.

Yaqi also stated that his contempt for the "internet
tickling community" played a key role in his decision.

"To me, tickling has always been about innocence. I am
appalled to see the internet community reshaping it
into something indistinguishable from pornography.
Granted there are many good people out there, but the
"vocal" community is a collection of uninteresting,
obsessive, moronic, hate-filled, hypocritical,
prejudicial, masturbating rat motherfuckers."

"You've got these desperate creatures living in chat
rooms 24/7 chasing the impossible dream of finding a
female tickling partner. It doesn't matter that the
vast majority of women in this meaningless clique are
fat ugly sea cows."

"Some record everything on television hoping for a
glimpse of tickling, some compile copious notes on
every ticklish celebrity. Some proclaim "VCR ALERT!!!
Possible Pamela Anderson foot tickle!!!" as though
they were announcing the second coming of Christ."

"Some folks make celebrity tickling fakes or pen
endless tales of Britney Spears kidnapped and tickle
tortured"

"These people will stop at nothing to get their free
mainstream tickling masturbatory materials. They all
love HOWARD STERN and his tickle chair and then
violently condemn him when he fails to illicit
laughter. I wish Howard would punish this vile group
of masturbators and stop tickling celebrities."

"Oh, I forgot. Don't ever criticize these people. If
you speak poorly of this wretched clique and they will
hate you with a fury usually reserved for mass
murderers."

"I refuse to generate any more free mainstream
tickling masturbatory material." Yaqi said adamantly.
"This group is so loathsome that the thought of
contributing to their high tech masturbation machine
sessions fills me with inertia. These people are
fucking hypocrites because even though they will
attack me for expressing my opinions, some wishing I
was dead, they would still be spread eagled over
themselves to watch any future materials I generated."

I don't know about anyone else, but I haven't ever so much as downloaded a clip from your site. Precisely because I have no wish
to support a business, or whatever else, that considers its supporters
a bunch of rat-fuckers. Or whatever.

"The biggest rub is that most of these people will
never fulfill their fantasies because they are too
chicken shit to reveal to their partners they have a
tickling fetish. So they embrace the internet as an
all encompassing way of life that becomes life
absolutely."

"This people have transformed tickling into something
I want no part of."

"I know many fans will be disappointed with my
departure." Yaqi said with a twinge of regret. "I'd
like to thank all of those who have supported my work
and efforts over the years. What I did, I ultimately
did for all of you. I have tried to publicly show that
tickling, in its purest form, is not some freaky thing
that one needs to hide. It is acceptable, people
accept it, people think it is cool, and I have proven
this to my complete satisfaction."

"It's a shame that the internet presence, many of them
still closeted, want to reduce tickling to just
another jack-off fest."

"Fuck them. And Fuck death too!"

don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

 

[qjakal]

A loss...

The tickling world will be a bit smaller without you. Good luck both health wise and in whatever other endeavors you now begin... Q

 

[JPie1]

Best wishes Yaqi, I hope your health takes a better turn. Its the most important thing now.


JPie

 

[Myriads]

My best for a full health recovery.

[redway10]

I'm with Phineas

You would think that severe illness would be a strong antidote for arrogance.

Not in this case.

Q: What has Yaqi done to deserve such self-adoration?

A: A few spots in the media tickling cute girls and giving his painfully narrow-minded and one-sided opinions.

Whooppee.

KJ is far more interesting than this guy...

I am sorry about the illness, but he gives an interview like he thinks he's Frank Sinatra.

Yaqi is not the Chairman of anything.

I am sure that there are many people in the tickling community that are smarter, better-looking, wealthier, and/or more accomplished than he. Should they now condemn him for his rank inferiority?

No, better to condemn his ignorant attitudes. "Uninteresting, obsessive, moronic, hate-filled, hypocritical, prejudicial, masturbating rat motherfuckers"? "Fat ugly sea cows"? Is that who the millions of tickling fans are? What is your malfunction Private Pyle?

For the record, I doubt that there are very many in the tickling community who "hate you with a fury usually reserved for mass murderers". How important do you think you are? Has the name Yaqi become a household word and I missed it?

 

[snips]

displaced anger

yaqi seems to dwell on masterbation, you show me a man to hasnt didled
himself once or twice and i will show you a liar.
it just seems that he is pissed about something else like this illness
or maybe his life, but he seems to know what is exactly wrong with us
huh.
his anger belongs elsewhere, not here.

 

[Knox The Hatter]

I'm ROF over Yaqi's description of various and sundry members of this community. While I have no quarrel with said description (someone prove to me, please, that he came up with THIS out of the clear blue sky! LOL), I do have a problem with him appointing himself guardian of this culture. I could understand where this behavior comes from: when you hang around Howard Stern, the self appointed, obnoxious, mean-spirited King of All Media, it just seems to rub off.
Yaqi also seems to consider himself indispensable in some fashion. Such an impression could not possibly be further than the truth. I know I'm truly sorry he feels this way, but the fact is, he can take his effin' ball and go home. We all have many other balls to play with, and after he leaves, like most self-appointed Deities, he will find the bitterest fruit of all in his basket: he left absolutely no mark on the community. It'll be the obnoxious, mean-spirited King of All Media who will be remembered for tying girls and tickling them on his TV show. Others won't even be remembered as the answer to a trivia question.
Have a nice day, Yaqi. I won't have to tell you to have a nice life, because my friends Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Jackson here say you'll be lurking in the chatroom again...very soon.

 

[drew70]

Yaqi, get better soon, pal

I find it hilarious that somebody would post Yaqi's comments here at the TMF. Had Yaqi posted those comments here, it would have been deleted immediately. But he knows the community so well that he figured it wouldn't be long before somebody would do it for him. Congratulations!

 

[nosforatiop]

Well, I don't know who Yaqi is talking about, because he's never met me, and I really could care less as to what somebodys opinion is over a bunch of people he's never met, but it sucks to be ill, I hope you fair well in your battle. I'll keep you in prayer.

 

[buggs]

Well whatever. The fact of the matter is that Yaqi is going through a hell that is painful. I am sure you would not have a good outlook on things if you were staring mortality in the face. I spoke to him earlier today in Yahoo IM. What he is going through would not be fun for anyone. I don't want to be part of a debate on this, but whatever he has done, I wish him the best and to make a speedy recovery. I am sure if anyone of us was in his predicament, we would want the same thing from the rest of us. Lets please show the dignity I know that we all have for anothers life and well being.

 

[The Pianist]

Ummm... yeah, that interview sounds alot like the one I read on the Howard Stern site from his autograph thingy (still don't know who this Stern guy is though)... he really doesn't seem to like this place now does he?

He should also try and use less rash generalisations and sterotypes cause very little of what he said applies to me anyway. Perhaps the part where I havn't admitted to a partner about how I enjoy tickling so much... but that is purely because when I had a partner, I didn't know I did like it.

Everything else though is complete tripe.

 

[tkrexx]

There's a pity here that has yet to be said.

Yaqi HAS done some great stuff...Also some mediocre stuff.
Yaqi has some wampum cajones to do the things he does in the public eye, and those of us who see it normally appreciate it.
Yaqi has an opinion, a powerful one at that, and he's exercising his free speech, albeit in an insulting way.

I have read some of Yaqi's previous "rants" concerning the online Tk community, and also some of Kujman's. Both of these fellows show the signs of a Poe: Some brilliant achievements coupled with an unhealthy dose of self-loathing which manifests itself as lashing out at those who love them the most.

I disagree with many of Yaqi's opinions (Especially with the way he makes said opinions known, not only to our community, but to the world), but God help me, there are some things amongst his words I agree with. I just would have used gentler nomenclature. I have nothing against Yaqi. I don't know him personally, and I could well be way off-base with this. But I, like Yaqi, am exercising my free speech.

What's the pity, you ask?

That Yaqi, like Kujman, will not be remembered by most for his contributions to our community. No, he'll be remembered for his scathing diatribes and condescending attitude toward those who should be his friends.

It's your life and your business, friend, but is this really the way you wanna go out?

[Texas_Tickle]

I've never quite understood Yaqi's mentality. He sold tickling videos himself, been on several top-rated shows, including The Other Half, and of course has been on Howard Stern a few times promoting himself.

In his previous rants, he claimed that he hated tickling videos and called them "nothing more than mastabatory and "wanking away" material". But he does not have a problem producing and selling his own lines of videos. Maybe he truly believes what he claims, or maybe he's just using reverse psycology. Only Yaqi knows for sure.

Yaqi's biggest gripe was the lack of "credability" for tickling and is on a crusade to find "credability"....on the Howard Stern Show of all places. Howard Stern is as credible as The National Enquirer or any other tabloid.

I have heard people claim that Yaqi is very hate-filled, vengeful and makes Gabby look like a Sunday School teacher.

I have never met the dude, so I cannot say either way....but like the old saying goes "A million people can't be wrong".

 

[BigJim]

Good luck with whatever way you choose to fight your illness Yaqi. No matter what happens, you can always console yourself that the disease was never bad enough to take away your self-effacing wit and gentlemanly charm. 😀

 

[MaxSpeer]

If a person seeks compassion, it would be wise for them to have compassion for those that they ridicule.

The problem with many in our community who have come and gone is that they sometimes feel unappreciated and therefore lash out at everyone. Yaqi insults his customers for surely his videos are not meant for casual viewing at holiday parties. I truly believe that he is going through alot of anger over his illness and his head is not where it should be.

My only encounter with him was when he started to produce M/F videos and sent me one to review for the newsgroup. I had some problems with it but instead of reviewing I told him that I couldn't review it at that time. I really didn't care for it and I was giving him my consideration by my refusal. For some reason, he felt that I was now his enemy for life.

The truth was, Yaqi, that I admired your effort but I wanted to encourage you to continue and not post anything negative.

I gotta admit he has the balls to humiliate himself on Stern and the Dick Clark show but it doesn't make him the King of all tickling media. No one is and I doubt any one of us really wants to be. It's a sexual fetish that is best left in the private sector, not a new religion.

I will give him lots of credit for his participation, productions, enthusiasm. He definitely has ambition, but it's hard for me to feel sorry for someone who feels he needs to take everyone else down with him.

I'm very very sorry that you've had to deal with this illness, Yaqi, but I don't feel that you are a very nice person. If you really want to leave a legacy, then why trash everyone that ever cared about you?

Max

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Good-bye, Yaqi. I wish you the best of improved health...both physical and emotional.

[SmashTV]

A Little Respect All Round?

While I can't agree with the things that Yaqi says, and find it sad that he feels the way he does, I don't think that's cause for people to be downright spiteful to him. Okay, he hasn't done himself any favours and certainly hasn't won any friends, but come on, you're being quite flippant and blase over someone's life.

Maybe I'm just too compassionate due to the circumstances, but it just leaves a nasty taste in the mouth to read some of the things here. While he has no right to tar us all with the same brush, shouldn't we be a bit more understanding?

Just a thought, folks.

Cheers, everybody,

...he posted a link to the site that contained the press release - not really all that much different, IMHO, but I just figured I'd save people the couple extra clicks so we didn't have a bunch of tearfuls not bothering to read Yaqi's "goodbye" and sobbing over his departure.

but hey, I'm glad I amuse you. Want me to put on a clown suit next? 😉

epilogue: Yaqi felt the need to get snarky with me in the chat room after I posted my comments, referring to me as an "angry little Phineas". Pot, meet kettle - I'm not the one posting angry missives at the people I'm sharing a forum with, now am I.

oh, and if memory serves, ANA was the first to appear on Stern and kick-start the whole tickling thing. Where's HER crown?

Angry little Phineas,
You epitomize all that I crictise about this community. You are the provrbial rat mother------. Just an angry little nobody who let's words on an internet screen get the better of him. Jesus. At least BigJim had more dignity in handling my response. I think you are pathetic. Get a real life in the real world. Life is short. My life is short. There is more to life than this forum. And I'll bet you a thousand dollars that you never finish your stupid tickling video game. You are a pathetic loser. An angy young man who was angered by my words because I was distinctly specific in talking about you.

GR violation.....

 

[Phineas]

well yaqi, I'm not going to play your little game - I put you on ignore yesterday for a reason. but as far as

And I'll bet you a thousand dollars that you never finish your stupid tickling video game

first demo released yesterday. OH, so denied... and it's because I *have* a life that it's taking so long.

Anyway, I'm done here. Here's to hoping your health improves - nobody should be forced endure such a situation. Here's also hoping you stop being such a bitter little hypocrite.

oh, and Jim was being sarcastic.

 

[njjen3953]

Yaqi babe,
If you read this, you now know why I approached you in the chatroom that day and also know why I refused doing an interview for your site.

You told me you don't need this kind of confrontation in your present condition. All I can say is, if you are going to dish it out, be ready to take some back, illness or not.

I may hang out in the chatroom, but I am far from a snivelling wannabe. I go out and get what I want, every chance I can.

I would like to say further, that if you ever get well enough to tickle again, you would probably not be able to keep up with a ticklee like me. I am more real and more woman than you could ever handle and it has NOTHING to do with my size.

Jen

You know, I tried to atone today........
