You should know that some of the real factual messages never make it here, because a moderator like "Answer" thinks that they are inappropriate. The problem with this is freedom of speech whether honest, opinuated, or fairly obsensive. Believe me, you should all hear all the messages, make you choice and reply.
I acknowledge that some of such messages can get out of hand, and should be managed, but they should be managed in a way that all get to see them and then that is it, they are closed. by ER management. But to edit ahead of publishing is the same as supressing free speech. You think about that Answer...
Yout think about that Erotic Review,and Answer and then please reply what value you really offer by snuffing certain posts.
My conern
Danielle -
It is true that I have supressed several of your posts. Here is why.
1. You frequently post with several handles using the same account and IP address, pretending to be several people, even responding to your own posts using a new handle.
2. Many of your posts, in my opinion are offensive. Like the one last month where you basically said all your clients are homos.
3. You tend to go on and on and on about the same topic. If I read another post about how TS Eva in Chicago has a sugar daddy, I'll go mad.
I am a card carrying member of the ACLU. I believe in free speech. But, that doesn't mean that the New York Times has to publish anything I, and thankfully, you, write. Its pretty clear this is a moderated forum with rules, and you routinely break them.
Y'know, I hardly ever post on this board but this one hit a nerve. Free speech is probably the single biggest issue in my life for a number of reasons and I will be the first to stand up for said topic. HOWEVER this is not a free speech forum. This board is meant as nothing more than an exchange of LIKE-minded people discussing a very specific topic. Personally I am grateful that Answer does take a pro-active role in limiting posted topics. I am tired of seeing posts on other boards that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. Another point to be made is that this is a private board; meaning that since we are all choosing to be members free speech does not apply here. TER is free to limit our speech and our topics of discussion as much as they want and at thier whim. There is no violation of free speech involved what-so-ever.
I can only imagine what a load of crap you must have to sift through to keep this board on track. THANK YOU!
I THINK I AM HIGHLY MODERATED HERE NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT I SAY IS OFF TOPIC BUT BECASUE THE ANSWER has an agenda.
i must call it as I see it. I have posted about things in the discussion that were a different point of view and they failed to show up!
for example the guy who was argue about guys who call ts she or refer to them or there pstrs as female.
he also asked is this a step toward see males who don not dress up as females
You are not "highly" moderated. I've only blocked two of your posts for the following reasons, which I described to you in explicit detail via PMail at the time (and you failed to respond).
1) One post claimed that a girl on Eros named Jennifer was HIV+, even though she looked nothing like the infamous Jennifer who was quarantined by AIM and you provided no evidence to correlate the two.
In general, we don't post any HIV+ information here due to a rash of misuse and false allegations. Essentially, unhappy clients and providers have used this forum to falsely accuse others of being HIV+. So, as the old adage goes, one bad apple ruins it for the bunch.
2) Your second post was inflamatory and inarticulate on the topic of tranny chasers are gays in denial. That topic is certainly good fodder but I felt the posts were getting offensive and stopped them. Just a judgment call on my part and maybe not the right one, but that's behind us.
Beyond that, I don't believe I've supressed anything.
By the way...what's my "agenda"?

trying to make the board more active and interactive and not having it die a slow death with rambling rants by homophobes and self-haters who keep trying to "define" what "tranny-chasing" is all about. You go girl! Oops! Oh crimeny, I hope you're not going to go all "girly-man" on us and "moderate" that too!!! Moderation in all things makes jack a masturbator 5 days a week. Oh, hell, I'm ranting now. Somebody stop me!!!! Somebody, ple---. EOM
You lost me at hello. Should I be thanking you or showing you the proverbial bird?
well, a thank-you would be more befitting the intent, but if i lost you with an absent greeting, i suppose a head-scratch and a shrug would be appropriate. just riffing on the inevitable whining any active moderator is doomed to receive. keep doing what you do. this board has become much more useful since you took it over. and that's a good thing.
peace.
Note from Moderator: This is information on the post where the alleged civil rights violation occurred as posted by xfean. xfean accused a provider of being the same Jennifer that was reported as HIV+ with zero evidence. Pics on Eros bore no resemblance. It was reported that Jennifer maintained an ad on Eros for a week or so after the story broke, but since then there has been nothing.
WE DISCUSSED WHAT THE TRUTH IS THROUGH PM'S AND YOU DECIDED THAT ONCE JENNIFER'S AD GOES BACK UP ON EROS AGAIN YOU WILL POST IT
Mod Response: Yes, I will and I'm awaiting a link.
jennifer who'S HIV + FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER TER MEMBERS
SINCE THE HIV+ JENNIFER HAD AD'S EVEN AFTER DISCOVERY OF THE HIV+ STATUS FROM AIM
Mod Response: Yes she did, but to my knowledge she's disappeared.
THIS JENNIFER HAS WORKED IN PORNO'S
Mod Response: Yes, the HIV+ one has, so confirmation will be easy.
