I'm going to paraphrase that famous philosopher John Wooden (UCLA Basketball)

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

I will do my best to keep personal attacks and trouble for troubles sake away from the board....but if we worried less about what others thought about you and concentrated more on doing what you feel is right....this would go away.

There will always be shills, white knights who think that coming to the aid of a lady in distress will get them the date, love, respect, discount.....I don't understand the white knight mentality but they are all around here.....and there will always be agency lovers and haters.....get over it and get back to fun.

Ladies....it's spring.....time to morph into full bloom.....Phoenix has the best of the best....don't believe me......search other areas and compare....

Guys, don't screw this up....you are very lucky....compare the local talent to the rest of the country.....

My last post on this subject.

Play hard, be safe.

I agree! (EOM)

I agree with 99% of what you said and understand they are your words said as you’d say them.  However might I suggest a more fitting edit to your fourth paragraph as thus:

I feel there will always be shills, white knights, agency haters and agency lovers; who think that coming to the aid of a lady or agency in distress will get them the date, love, respect, discount or agency perks.  I don't understand the faction mentality but they are all around.  Get over it and get back to fun.

End of edit.

More and more (no matter what the venue) doing what is right is met with the disapproving frowns of the rival faction.  Without a universal compass and sanctioned scheme of navigation, we are bound to continue to collide with that particular idiot who has no clue where right is or couldn’t possibly recognize it even after it has punched a hole in his ship.  Be right but be civil about it.  Now all we have to do is figure out what civil is!!!  But fortunately we will recognize it when we run into it assuming our egos don't eclipse its presence.
