Swim, this reminds me of a comedy show. And thanks to everyone else who posted a reply to this Sitcom/Documentary. BP - alrighty then (not that there's anything wrong that!). Lol. Your diplomatic skill set is off the charts: "If you feel offended, too fucking bad". I nearly feel off my chair after reading that - nice technique in how to win friends and influence people. I get it: shoot first, ask questions later. I've got to go soon, heading to that guy's house to "tar and feather" that lousy, no good so and so for doing a review. Where does he come off with that? Some people really just cross the line and have some nerve! Ok, I had some laughs with this one and simply HAD to reply. I mean no offense to anyone. This was simply too good to pass up and is all in fun. Play safe and have fun everybody. Now, got to find an old paint brush, can't use a new one, I'll never clean out all that tar; feathers already in the car. Lol.
I read a review that rated a provider 6-7. The provider was in Ft. Lauderdale, and now is advertising in Tampa on BP, using the same pics. Following is the text of my inquiry:
Read your review. She has an ad on Tampa bp now, same pics as in Ft. L ad. You only gave her a 6 for looks. Are pics accurate? From your review text, I'm surprised you only gave her a 7 for perf. Thanks for any info you can share.
The text of the review gave me the impression a higher performance rating would not have been out of line, and looking at her pics, I also thought a 6 was a little low, but I have not seen her, so I just asked if the pics were accurate.
His response? 'u r questioning my review , bye'
When I tried to reply to him, I got a message that he was ignoring me. This is my reply that he refused to accept:
Not questioning your review. Just asking for more info. If you feel offended, too fucking bad. That's what reviews are for, to clarify stuff. If you are a tough grader, ok, you can rate her however you want. I don't really care what numbers you gave her, just want to know if pics are accurate.

I sure hope he doesn't need any help in the future........ I am posting this here, because he is a Florida hobbyist and it was a Florida review. I am being nice and not mentioning his handle here. I thought reviews were here to help us guys, and that our comrades would do same when asked for more ingo. Apparently, this reviewer is not of that opinion.
Needless to say, I am not happy about this situation.
Swim
First off....just say the prick's handle.
Really.
We all know how many people love drama, HAVE to know what's going on, and will start to search reviews and BP ads until they find exactly who you are talking about. They'll overload servers and waste valuable life minutes just so they can solve the mystery.
Do them all a great service and just out the ass.
Won't hurt anything...and saves everyone a great deal of time.
Secondly....
Don't sweat asshats. You asked a guy about his review and although you questioned his ratings (not the coolest thing in the world) he responded like a 15 year old in "text speak". Does this not tell you a little something about the person?
Yes, reviews are here to help us guys. We backchannel to help us more.
But just because you don't like the response....going straight to "If you feel offended, too fucking bad" really won't serve you well in the future either. His response wasn't the best....but neither was you retort.
At the end of the day it's only "time and companionship" (I still choke on that....lol) but it's not the end of the world, nor a cause for such drama.
AKA.....It's no biggee
Just sayin'

I could have handled it a little better, but I was pissed off, as you could probably tell.....LOL
His handle is 1florida.

For people to determine whether they are going to go along with your game or not. Swim, while much of what you contribute helps people, a lot of your comments on these boards make people not want to interact with you. Your tendency to dip into the drama, call people out for various things and straight up slam newbies and others doesn't connote a friendly atmosphere for other guys who aren't here for the boards and the drama. Your answer is indicative of your attitude on these boards and really doesn't endear you to other dudes just trying to learn, share or contribute. Yes, you and I are on several other boards and you don't act this way on those.
Take it for what you value it for.

Where would the newbie board be without him taking up all the slack many times over.
I think many of us have jumped down the throat of someone from time to time. Most of us have a naughty side too but i'm having a hard time thinking of swim in a bad way. He's an active member and hasn't been an ogre to my knowledge in any way.
We ladies do pretty much the same keeping each other safe as the gentlemen do for one another. Ladies are not obligated to give references but we do for the safety of other ladies. for gentlemen to help each other out should be pretty common place. You do handle giving any personal info about a lady you have seen to a newbie gentleman or alias differently. Thanks to those who do think of a lady's safety first

Appreciate your comments. I'm not perfect, but I do try. I have devoted a lot of extra personal time to helping out people on this site, and will continue to do so, just like my cadre of 'highly unpaid assistants' on the Newbie board.
Swim
I don't dip into drama, I generally avoid it. This was about a PM the guy sent me regarding my question about his review, there was no public drama. Lots of people make unpopular posts, and if some posts make others not want to interact with some, ok, that's their prerogative. We're not here to make friends but to share pertinent information. I was offended by the reviewer's response to what I felt was just a simple question. He didn't have to react the way he did, all he had to do was tell me, he didn't want to comment. I would have let it go at that.
I do not post often on this board, but since this was involving a Florida reviewer, I thought it had some relevance. My attitude on these boards? WTF are you talking about? If my attitude is offensive to you, how about some examples? We all have the right to disagree with others. BTW, I have no idea what other boards we are on together, I don't even know you.....
Have you read any of my stuff on the newbie board? I wonder, doesn't sound like it... In case you weren't aware, I am the only former moderator that is a current 'host' of a board on this site. So, obviously TER admin is not adverse to my posts. And they have deleted some of my posts they felt were not that good, I admit, I ain't perfect.
How much do you contribute to this board?
Swim
There is no reason for you to be defensive. You asked questions on a public board and wanted feedback, whether that feedback is satisfying to you or not does not negate your request. As for examples of you dipping into drama, this response is a perfect one. You'll notice, if you care to re-read my initial response, that I gave you credit for you the positive yet, you focus on the negative. No one asked you to post your thread, you asked us to respond to it. Pretty simple stuff in the end. Don't ask a question you don't want answers to. I stand behind my affirmation of your good work and also stand behind my critical response to your post. It is what it is. Questioning my contributions is akin to questioning my manhood because I won't take the last shot with you at the bar...just pointless and immature in the end.
JC
p.s. tsmfe
a favor by outing this guy so we don't fall into the same trap you did.
Here was your PM:
" You ONLY gave her a 6 for looks". That is an obvious insuation that YOU believe she should have received a higher score for appearance. Well, good for you, but that does not invalidate his opinion in any way ... and it was HIS review.
"I'm surprised you ONLY gave her a 7 for perf." Once again, you have obviously inferred his score was too low. Why would he possibly give a FUCK why you think she should have higher looks or performance scores. YOU have not even met her.
YOU then defend your position by once again explaining that YOU think his scores are too low. Obviously, you have a problem with the scores for a woman you supposedly have never met.
He responded in text speak. In a shocking development, maybe he responded by TEXT. I wouldn't have even have given you the courtesy of a response at all for questioning my scores.
Then, you offer your response that could never even have been seen by him, for what reason? The fact you're "upset" by some random guy's lack of an answer to your inquisition is supposed to matter to anyone?
Swim, this reminds me of a comedy show. And thanks to everyone else who posted a reply to this Sitcom/Documentary. BP - alrighty then (not that there's anything wrong that!). Lol. Your diplomatic skill set is off the charts: "If you feel offended, too fucking bad". I nearly feel off my chair after reading that - nice technique in how to win friends and influence people.
