Especially the ones........

That keep PMing to SHOVE their ATF down your/ my throat!!!!!   I used to get a PM from a hobbyist after each review I wrote and he would say "Hey great review!!!  You can do better though, you should see my ATF. Her name is XYZ!!  I can get you a discount.   Not only on this board but I would get a PM from the same Guy on other boards.  Until I started hitting the block / ignore option.
The PM's started out unassuming. Then they just got out right annoying!  Since I did not solicit his opinion about provider XYZ.  Would that be taken as a Shill???    Sorry to rant jus a lil somethin' that has been bothering me for A WHILE!
Happy Summer All!!!

Providers should learn the same lesson's hobbyists do.   NO ADVANCES!!!!!!

check your PM

I was contacted by a provider that was stuck in New York as her baggage had been lost in flight. She was in tears and requested my assistance. I loaned her the money and she expressed her graditude and stated she would repay me upon her return to the L.A. area. That was over a year ago. I have since made a couple of appointments with this lady and she was a no show. After which I left a message regarding the money owed and  i have never received a response.

I think there are jerks on both sides of this fence.

Tell us about it and let the hobbyists defend themselves.  Isn't that what this is all about.  The avg hobbyist is a pretty good person, as is the avg provider.  Most are honest, hard working, fair and reasonable.  If you make your case, and the hobbyist makes his, the truth will out.  RT Over &  out

WHY I DECIDED TO POST THIS ... I got an email from this guy and

I got an email from this WELL KNOWN HOBBYIST telling me to SAVE MY MONEY!

I nearly fell off my chair and then I went into shock after I re - read this email.

WTF ... He owes me big time and he's telling me to save my money.
Yes, I snapped and needed to vent for a very good reason!

He knows that he OWES me big time, he knows that he's lied about most of his reviews and he's (almost) hurt a portion of my business by dropping my name as if he's pimping me out!

He considers himself one of my ATF'S ...
Holly shit, if I had ATF'S - gentleman friends like him, I'd be living in the streets with NO money!
He is not an ATF to me, he's a lier and he takes advantage of all providers, (when he can)!
And look - out ladies, he'll drop your name as if he's pimping you!  
And he will directly (knowingly) hurt your business if he can!

I have been so good to him, so kind, and so understanding, I can no longer allow him to behave and treat me and other providers in this fashion!

I have NEVER - EVER said anything about his:
Fake Reviews, The lies he tells in the reviews, His non-payment for my GFE services, His lack of consideration and His half payment of what other providers charge.

He's gotten away with this behavior for far to long!

So ... Why did I post this on an open board?  
He's fooled every hobbyist on this board and has taken advantage of so - so many providers!
I had to finally say something.

Shame on him, He's worse than David E....

Sorry for this post,
I can no longer justify his behavior, I can no longer allow him to take advantage of other providers nor can I allow him to lie to every hobbyist on this board.

I have received some of the same emails others are talking about!
