I originally wasn't going to say anything at all; however, I felt compelled to say something because this is about to go down onto a bad path if we don't correct this. I might get ridiculed or what not. Before I start, this post isn't about me but the state of the Atlanta boards.

Someone wise said "Be the change you want to see in the world."  I lurked on this board without contributing anything for a long while after joining TER.  But ultimately I convinced myself that I should try and contribute to the community where I could.  Either through writing reviews, helping others that had lots of questions like me, or just making people laugh (or at least attempting to, lol).  I thought things were pretty good but I wanted to make them better still.

It just seems like there is so much division and people are developing side that the end result is these new people that are coming would not have any dealings with Atlanta. I mean you have several providers who are in the top 100 and have a lot of experience just not in unity.  

I found TER a few months ago after doing my home work and research. It was not hard to find at all and not hard to find out how everything works. I asked a few questions and met some helpful folks here. Bigjoe being one of them.  
But it didn't take long for someone, with an alias, to start drama. Accusing me of being LE and even passing it around to folks. One of the agencies I was trying to talk with even received an email saying I was LE. Simply because I knew of TER and how the hobby works. That's crazy. It's not rocket science and not hard to find. I was very interested In joining an agency or trying it on my own but that really put a damper in my interest. I have made some contacts through another site and have some wonderful clients now but they aren't in the hobby per say. Thus no reviews.  
Anyway, I'm getting off track here. But yes I agree with what Bigjoe says. I have personally witnessed it!
It can only hurt the community.  ~Cassie

I agree with your comment!

First and foremost, welcome back to TER. I would like to thank you for responding and agreeing with my post. I am glad that you have make used of another Avenue to pursue your journey. I hoped that the journey you pursue you reach your goals in it.

Thank you so very much for your kind words and I would consider doing it. I just need a push in order to do this.

We are like big family to need to help each other not going against each other.
we need to keep everyone safe .

Your thread received a dozen or so helpful replies.

Here we go. More negativity. Yes maybe I am a little over sensitive. Sorry for that!

Just claiming to be a hooker doesn't make you one.

You are definitely right. We are so divided as a community that anyone or anything can come in and possibly destroy this community. This is a community that everyone has an element for success. If we continue to fight and argue, this tight nit community will be terribly fracture to also be hard to repair.

It takes every person to build a community. Imagine what happens when everyone comes together and in unity,  we can be a strong force.

Thank you Ginger! You're very kind. I know everyone's being cautious and I don't blame them. I guess I take things the wrong way at times.  I guess the naysayers that hide behind an alias claiming I am not for real is what bothered me most.  
 It was just frustrating but it's all good now. I have met some great guys. I've been doing things a little differently and it's working out great for me.  Thanks again for the words of encouragement! ~Cassie

Sexyandclassy, you seem really bubbly and outgoing, so, imo, you'll do great. Don't focus on the few who are naysayers! They are only being CAUTIOUS, which is WISE in this business. You received A LOT of help and praise for a Newbie. So, try to focus on that and like BigJoe says, push through the rumors. If you can't do that, you will never survive this....get your BIG GIRL PATIES on for this ride, honey, you are gonna need 'em.  
   
 And call me in a year, I JUST BET, you will be just as cautious as we are.

The back stabbing and calling out providers and hobbyists on this level is bound to occur as we are not the elite of Atlanta society. I do anticipate that this trend will continue. I do hope that if Someone is called out that they have the balls to identify the individual.

I am not ready to sing kumbaya round the campfire. The real world isn't about peace in love. Case in point witness the 90% of the world that would love to nuke the USA into dust. So instead of talking about peace and love, let's keep it real. Um, this is a fuck board.  I used to visit  a very popular lady (#2) in this town, who never posted on the regional board. Her reasoning was that despite all the bs about 'community' the chicks  were all back stabbers. In response, let me say that I do know a few ladies that are helpful to new ladies, and will offer guidance to them in an effort to help them on their way.

I've been around a little while now and I can tell you this board and
Community is pretty much the same as when I started. Big personalities,
Girls comming and going, helpers who help and helpers who hurt.  
Just follow your gut because it is what it is and not much more.

Thanks bigjoe2002 I think you may be on to something here.
