Just a thought going through my head...

[JackJohnson]

Well... I finally figured out what thread folks are talking about... so instead of my earlier post about the nature of the market and info around here, I have to say that after looking at the thread, I'm really not sure that this rises to the level of "cyberbullying" although that term gets thrown about now so much I'm sure there is a definition that will fit.

Can she not speak for herself?

Anyway, we had an entire thread regarding picture fails, providers posted, everyone chimed in, especially the girls who took a picture in the bathroom, and forgot to flush (yes, the struggle is real), posted pics from rooms that were housekeeping wrecks for incall, posted pics with open condom wrappers (I think one had a condom sitting on a nightstand).

I'd agree that it seems to be posted in jest... and if the poster wants to feel compelled to apologize.. ok. But... this is easily resolved...

CHECK YOUR PICS BEFORE YOU POST. Lesson learned. You're advertising for bejeesus sakes, take the time to develop your business properly.

Seems to be a common thread lately. If you are seeking professional level compensation, BE A PROFESSIONAL.

It isn't personal.. it's business... folks keep forgetting that.

Pre-empt: Yes, I know Sara, you don't need the money, you have lots of businesses, and just do this to fill your sexual need, but you're the exception, not the rule. This girl can learn the lesson now. I doubt you would make the same mistake.

Welcome to the marketplace of ideas!

Well, I use Dawn for my dogs and Oil of Olay for my kitty.

But, back on topic... After reading the thread, I also found it to be pretty mildly offensive, if that. Worse things have been said. Worse will be said. Just the nature of the business. She'll be able to easily bounce back from something this minor.

Sure she can, but if she does what is she going to have to suffer through for doing so? We all know how things get on here. It can turn into a huge wolf pack feast pretty quickly.

If everyone hasn't figured it out already, it's time they do. I am forever going to be the one that speaks out because as you said, I don't depend on this for a living and by doing so it is not going to have an affect on my bills being paid or not.

Gemma, I can't see much offending you. LOL I can see you telling someone to go straight to hell and making them look forward to the ride though. LOL

This guy was just joking. Life is so short to focus on tiny details.

Well, no. She isn't a member at this time.

Oil of Olay on the kitty? Hmmm . . . I love Oil of Olay.

I wasn't for sure which kitty she was talking about.

Exactly.

Sarah, people need to have a tough skin if they are going to contribute to these threads. Silly commentary and opinions (misguided or not) will always have a place here. So long as the guidelines are not being violated, people can express themselves openly.

People can say (and should say whatever they want). If they don't, well this would be a very boring place and their first amendment rights would be violated. If you don't enjoy what someone is saying, you can argue with (or against) that member until you're blue in the face and your keyboard has to be replaced due to wear... or you can chose to state your opinion and move on. I suggest not letting people drag you into dumb arguments. It's like wrestling a pig. You both end up covered in shit, and the pig most likely enjoyed it.

As I stated before. All you have to do is scroll through the Kansas Metro forums. Whispers is LOVING the attention that he is generating from the membership. It doesn't have to be positive. It just needs to keep the conversation going and increase the view count. Don't give people the opportunity to drag you into unnecessary drama. You can't fix them or change their opinions. This is the internet. Unless you just LOVE the attention... then go on with your bad self and enjoy the ride.

Be like Gemma. Gemma don't give a fuck (or that's how I read her... kind of like it ).

I appreciate what you said. This post was to make people think and that's exactly what it has done. It got us all talking and learning more about each other.

However, in response to the "Be like Gemma" comment....Gemma I mean no disrespect in any way...No thank you. Gemma is a one of a kind doll and I adore her for it. I, too, am a one of a kind and will never be duplicated. Why would anyone who is perfectly imperfect in and of themselves what to be anything else? How bored would you guys get if we were all alike?

The weekend is here and it is time to slip and slide into a fun time. Play safe and live naked!

XOXOX

I still think the point is being lost... the girl is in a business, she needs to learn to look at her pictures before she uploads them. If she can't... she's not long for the business. screen your pics before you post them. You know, flush the toilet and the like. It's not too hard... really...

More importantly, what's the point if she isn't even on ECCIE to join in the discussion?

Ahh... providers get to talk about themselves for ad space That's ok, we learn a lot during such discussions...lmao. Appointments will be made...see COG and the like. That's a good thing for everyone.... and the point of the board.

Confucious say...one provider's bad marketing is another provider's opportunity to market. That's the way the world truly works.

Indeed the weekend cometh, enjoy folks!

AND... the new Board Motto... BE LIKE GEMMA... don't give a fuck

Disclaimer: Yes... no Gemma's were hurt in the writing of this post. There are things that actually do offend her, I've seen some posts... lol

[Guest081519]

I wish I had my camera and equipment with me.

If I visit in the near future, I'll bring my equipment and ask if she is willing to do a photo shoot. I'll ask if she is willing to incorporate the offending bottle in sexy poses.

You are definitely high on my respect list, can't wait to continue our therapy

I absolutely agree, another providers bad marketing is an opportunity for other providers to snag the rebounds from it. It is a business, I'm not here to hold anybody's hand but he who is my date and even on another note, all publicity is still publicity. When me and Gemma had our spats I said what I had to say in my own honor, and then let my guys handle the rest and take what they could from it all. It made me a better, strong minded provider. At the time I just wanted her head, but I'm here to tell you all criticism can be a learning growing experience. Take something good from every incident in your life wether it be a silly photo or whatever, find something good to take from it and you will stay a happy peaceful individual

[Guest013121]

I respect that you've always kept it classy and respectful. Speaks volumes about you girl. I apologize, Tosh, for not minding my own damn bizz!
