OK, I've made some posts here. I've vented about strip clubs (I'm not the only on who has done that). I also posted that I was thinking about canceling an appointment with my provider, and I made a post stating that I thought an ad might be a scam (I may be wrong on that). Some of these posts have probably sounded emotional, because as I said, I was venting, but I'm baffled that I was called a troll. I thought a troll is someone who makes posts with the intention of getting people riled up, and that has been the furthest thing from my intention. I try to live my life by the golden rule, even with hobbying, and I really don't see how my posts warrant name calling and personal and ad-hominem attacks.
Am I not allowed to express frustration at all here? How are my posts trolling? I really do want to know. As I said in an earlier post, I will gladly accept constructive criticism and feedback as to how I can become a better poster and have a better experience here, but when you resort to name calling and out-of-nowhere personal attacks, you only make yourself look stupid, and as one who is considering the possibility of entering the world of public and formal debating, I may know a thing or two about this.
By the way, no one here probably gives a shit, but I'm keeping my appointment with my provider. I only live once and I don't know how much time I have left. I need to have some fun once in a while while I still can....
sometimes taken wrong by folks. And part of that is the "venting" portion that seems to accompany your posts. If you take a look at prior threads the common theme when a guy/gal simply posts a "negative type" thread is for guys/gals to mock that poster. You did indeed get a couple of reasonable replies on your thread questioning the porn star on Eros scam. But alas, too many others refuted that by doing some actual research. And that is what folks tend to get a bit "upset" with.
Read posts going back a few months and consider adding comments of interest on new threads only. Stay within the posting topic and try and stay a bit more "positive". If indeed you need to be critical, be concise in your post and have some "evidence" behind your assertions. By building up your posting reputation others will understand your POV better. It doesn't necessarily mean they will agree with it, but at least you can discuss on adult levels as they should as well.
Don't let a rocky beginning deter you. Just understand that there are all types of folks here. Some have excellent communication skills, while others are barely readable. And if you find yourself digging that little hole...simply back off and wait a day. Trust me..that thread is off the page and no one cares all that much.
Thanks for the helpful advice, but if you read the thread concerning the ad on Eros, it turns out that it may be a scam after all. But again, thank you and I will condider your words of wisdom.
and he/she posted as an alias...hence NO credibility in my book.
Sin has been around this block alot longer than many, and frankly I would trust her evaluation on this matter a whole hell of a lot more than some alias who may be doing nothing more than anselon (heck it might be anselon with an alias for all we know).
One other recommendation is to PM some of us with the types of questions you are seeking answers to. You would be more apt to get some "real" information that way, and you might indeed find a lot of us have some real insights into this game!
Please read my response to your last post on the thread and the subsequent posts. It could have just as easily been my saying you were right. However, none of my responses closed that door to admitting error as I could only post my opinions and my research. Think about this, your post could have cost this lady business if someone had not been there to champion her cause and play devils advocate.
Hope you realize I was your opponent on the debate... Not on the board. Two different things.
Thanks for the kind note. If this provider is legit and I cost her business, I feel terrible about that, and I do apologize. It's just that I really did suspect that it was a scam, because kacey is pretty famous. I probably should have kept mouth shut.
There are a lot of posters here who unfortunately are childish, gruff, and argumentative on their good days. They refuse to accept views different than their own can be serious, and their favorite vocabulary words are "troll", "whit knight", "BS", etc.
Fortunately they a probably the minority, though they are a vocal minority.
