Mr Augustwest, you opened-up something that I bet you wished you hadn't. Boy, talk about opening-up a major can of "woop ass"!  Based on my previous experience, I have a feeling that this does not end here.  I am going to sit back and enjoy the coming train wreck while watching football this afternoon.  Let the games begin!

you don't have to take a back-seat or sh*t from anybody, Barbie! Your reviews and ratings speak for themselves! I've never seen a string of 10/10's like what you've got going back to March, and the consistent 10's and 9's back 2 years! WOW. You go, girl!

...thou doth protest too much.  AW must really have struck a nerve for you to post contents of a PM here and judging by your response he must be on target.  As an aside, hell of a marketing strategy you've got going.  Should draw in loads of business.

I see I'm not the only one being attacked

Sorry to hear of your encounter with one of ter's finest Cowards.    I've met a few gemtlemen on this site over the years, but their are certainly a fair share of clueless, cowards, jerks ,fools.

You GO Girl!

It looks like the moderator took down whatever has your panties bunched up, so quit acting like a baby.

Tyra Banks, you aint, not by a long shot. You should have been flattered that AW even mentioned you in the same breath.

In spite of your best effort, you will not win the Drama Queen of the year award. Keep trying though. Second place isn't so bad.

PS: Shipping is on me.

it was unfortunate for your name to have been invoked like this, I don't think you're helping yourself by coming on a calling people "moroon", "loser", or "zero".

I want to be clear: I'm not judging you for standing up for yourself---I think it's appropriate, especially in an instance where your name was brought into a subject totally unnessecarily.  More especially so, since what Augustwest brings up is a matter of OPINION (as far as I know).

As I said, I don't blame you for being upset, but I believe your intereests would be better served in a controlled, reasoned approach.  Don't let them draw you into a battle of playground-level insults.

Wow, I take a day off from the internet to battle leaves and watch a little football, and all hell breaks loose.  This will be my final response to you. I would send via ter pm, but you put me on ignore after your last private pm to me. And since you decided to take this public, I'll respond here, as it appears to be what you want me to do.

First of all, by referencing your reviews in a thread, I did not mean it as a personal attack. I am sorry you saw it that way. I explained in one of my PM's to you, and again within my "Correction" post in this thread, that I was using your scores as an example, within the context of the review system. I freely admitted that I have never met you in person. I did not doubt your performance scores. I did not call you names or attack you in any way. I simply expressed my opinion on your looks. I am sorry I do not see you as a "10" and if that constitutes an attack in your mind, then so be it.  Furthermore, I did not rant or insult you, unless you call my snide comment on you having a golden pu**y an insult. Didn't mean it that way. Sometimes I am a wiseass, and people that don't know me can take it the wrong way. No harm intended on my part.

I suggest that you go back and read my comments in the previous thread again, and understand the context of where it was written. Also, go back and re-read my PM's to you. Try to understand what I was actually saying to you. Realize that I actually complimented you a few times and gave you credit for your success. Maybe then you will understand that I meant no harm.

All I did was question some scores. If you can't take criticism, you'll go crazy in this business and it isn't worth it.  I didn't call you names or degrade you in any way, in my posts here or my private PM's.  Yet, you choose to go "All Kanye" on me, calling me names and making assumptions on my character, preferences, and financial status.  

Take a look at your post above, who in this conversation is waging a personal attack? comments like "then the moron says", "bottom feeder", "the imbecile also said", "ZERO", not to mention the numerous references made to my manhood and personal preferences in our personal PM's are not quotes that I made.  And, for the record, my dick isn't THAT little.

So, I ask that you take a deep breath, re-read what I wrote, and try to understand the context and content of my posts. Realize that there is no real reason to be upset.

Lets move on and give thanks for what we all have here

Thread closed! And an explanation of sorts as to why this was even allowed

First off....the thread is closed. Everyone has had their say and additional comments serve no purpose.

For those who have wondered aloud and via PM as to why this post and thread was allowed.......let me clarify.

I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in everyone's right to know how other people in the community present themselves. I believe in allowing people to air their grievances, gripes, and concerns.
I don't believe that my personal opinions should cloud whether or not something gets posted. If I did...then you'd only see "my" board......and not "yours".

I do not believe that the comments made by AugustWest were an "attack" by any definition of the term. What I saw read more like an opinion and question than an attack. We've all seen attacks....and this doesn't meet the criteria.
This site EXISTS for comments, reviews, and information..........by men. Making comments and observations is what this site is all about.
This does not mean in any way that the ladies are not welcome and encouraged to join in.....because as we all know.....without providers there would be no 'hobbyists'.

In stark contrast to the comment and demeanor of AW......I have experienced, and we have seen, the character (or lack thereof) of Ms. CarmelDime.
The first PM I received was anything but professional or restrained. It, and follow up PMs, contained inflammatory comments, and demands. She then submitted the post you see above. I did not immediately approve it because I was awaiting a ruling on the removal of AW's comment from the admin staff. I felt it should stay and was not an attack.....but wanted a new set of eyes on it, out of a concern for absolute fairness to all involved and the points made by Ms. CD.
When the post approval did not come fast enough to suit her......Ms. CD then PM'ed me to let me know that if she did not get what she wanted......she would take her case to the General Discussion board.
While ultimatums usually have only the opposite effect on me.....and I felt very confident what would happen should she expose herself to the meat grinder that is that board.......I decided to approve the post and let the community see her true self.
Without further comment......I believe that has happened quite effectively.

As always....there will be detractors and shameless white knights....but ultimately the consumer will decide where their funds are best allocated. Free market economy.

Hopefully this answers in one swoop why the post, and ensuing train wreck, was allowed......and everyone can decide from here.

All the best.
