Victoria,
Even though your post is directed at me, you write it in a manner designed to rile the masses. Hardly a gesture of "playing nice". If you have something to say to me, why not direct the post TO me? I will (instead) direct my response towards you, where it belongs.
You often get lots of great ideas, anywhere from how to structure discounts to telling gentlemen how to shave their body hair for your benefit, (of course, always followed by a cooincidental link to your phx411 ad). Sometimes I wonder if the vast volume of these ideas is your way of skirting the TER policy against bombarding the board with incessant provider ads. I certainly see your ad link more than once a week.
You were the one putting these bold suggestions out there. However, you view any initial disagreement with them as a mean, personal attack on you, and I'm telling you, it just was not so. Yet you can't say "fair enough, someone does not agree, fine." You began to act like a princess, and started crying aloud. And you notched it up on your own. You got yourself all twisted around it.
I never called you out (as you are doing here to me). You just can't seem to handle anything short of pure adoration and adulation in response to your posts. Princess-ism is what you are suffering from.
And I had nothing personally against you (still don't). You probably do not believe this at all. Perhaps I don't like seeing you pushing topics on us to get more exposure to your ad link, but I would have kept that to myself (until now). And when I see something that you have written that is totally benign, I don't sit and think of a way to say something mean back to it. Heck, you're a cute lady. You seem to have a nice disposition, but on here, you often behave as a "board princess". And I understand why you might be especially sensitive to a post in response from me, as I have openly challenged the practice of "bossism" on this board by a certain group of ladies. And I also attacked Swedish Anna directly...
The Swedish Anna incident:
I made an error in judgement in attacking Swedish Anna publicly. That's for sure. Her handle became attached to a thread that had all the classic signs of being a mesage fraudulently being created by a provider against a competitor. I have no idea who did it, and I drew my line in the sand by saying that it was her, and I have to live with the consequences of that action. Others saw what I saw (and confirmed it), so I decided to go for it. I offer neither condemnation nor an apology, because the jury is still out for me on this one. However, I will say that I was wrong in playing my cards too quickly and I should have held back.
I'll stop this bash-fest right now. In the future, if I see a post written that I disagree with (and find interesting) I'll respond. If not, then I won't. Sometimes it might be in response to something you yourself write. Sometimes not. In the future, if you post an idea, then be prepared to accept criticism of it.
...you are among the best. People like GGL usually are that way throughout their lives. Insecure. Argumentative. Feeling inferior and hoping that lashing out will make them feel better.
Hobbyists must remember that your mileage may vary. Providers like Victoria are not only sensuous and pleasers, they are honest and forthright. There are many like her in the Valley and aren't we lucky.
GGL probably has a problem with women generally. Let's understand that, forgive him, and pay no attention to him.
Kisses, Victoria.
