I'd love to know what everyone thinks about this topic. It's garnered almost 200 votes so far.
Here's the question: How do u feel when someone blasts a client & curses at him for bad behavior? Like in a text she posts.Is it a turn off?
Or makes u a little uncomfortable?
Or does he deserve it? The link to the poll is below.
… “bad behavior”?
Did the guy have less-than-stellar hygiene, or did he physically abuse her (even rape her)? Was he five minutes late, or did he do a NCNS for no good reason and with no attempt to make it right? Etc.
Depending on the offense, a provider blasting a guy and cursing at him on Twitter could be a huge turn off for me, or he might deserve it.
P.S. I don’t do Twitter.
Well, for me it's really anything. I just don't think cursing someone out is ever helpful. Calling them out, if they did something wrong, sure. But some my colleagues love to berate clients with very colorful language when they do something wrong.

It really depends on exactly what they guy did. My other thought is that she should consider how wise it is to curse someone out even if they do deserve it. That could, deserved or not, give her a public perception of being ill-tempered.
My thoughts exactly. One's online presence needs to be thought out carefully.
But also, I would never curse someone out in real life.
If it's _________ is unsafe to everyone because________. Then that's one thing, and it's important, respected and helpful. Stick to facts as much as possible.
But if it's just professional venting-
Then for the purposes of this, I'll assume it's from a public facing account that ties to your profession.
Anger rarely serves the purpose you intend. If you want to vent in public, make it humorous, maybe do a video series on stupid things clients do (obviously don't use client names or likenesses because there will be shame associated with it). It would probably be even funnier if you cross dressed while you demonstrated the stupid mistake. Not an actor? Keep a list of "actual things clients have said to me on whatever medium you use." You can still vent, while educating, not scaring people off, and still get your message through.
Still angry? Call a friend.
And usually don't call the client out unless you felt unsafe. We've all had minor conflicts in our lives and you don't want potential clients concerned on if a protocall breach will cause them to have a significant negative consequences, especially if they aren't especially versed in the uniqueness of protocall in this industry to begin with, or have social difficulties in the first place.
Business considerations of PR value. It's always risky to go negative in PR.
I think a lot of it is for the purpose of attention because it triggers emotions in both sides which results in post engagement.
Personally, I don't like the energy of that kind of attention, but it does get engagement.
When searching for providers the only engagement interested in is contact between lips (either set) and other body parts not a verbal confrontation. If want that can stay home and bank some Benjamins.
Plan B would be to move on to someone who can at least pretend they enjoy the guys they see.
