TER General Board

Are you sure they released her???

I should put her in contact with Dungy, either he can screen for her, or they can go find an open window together? Either way, they deserve each other.

I do not make a lot of posts nor do I review much although I read most of the original posts and then decide if I want to read some or all of the comments depending on the content of the post. I will most often not even read posts from people I consider ignorant, distasteful or plan stupid. I often see people arguing and or making fun of certain people for what they post. I do not get why you even read their posts in the first place. Many of them just post comments no matter how stupid just for the attention and by arguing and or just reading their posts you encourage more stupidity.  

My question however is, what is the value in posting or commenting being anonymous? If you have something to say, then simply say it. Why hide behind another name? I seriously do not see the reason or value in it? As I discover that someone is using an anonymous name I make it a point not to read their post or comments. I am anxious to hear why people post anonymously. Am I the only one that feels this way?

You can say what you want about me, I am a big boy and can take it as well as dish it out but in my opinion unless someone can offer me valid reasons for someone to post anonymously I think anyone that does is a coward and wish people would simply grow a set and be a man or woman and say what you want to say and be prepared good or bad for the replies. Be straight up or go away.

say this...this proves my point exactly from something I was just going to post myself.  

Alias' are 'dangerous' and for TER to allow them is just idiotic. The women in this business have a right to know who they are talking to, end of discussion. Hopefully they will wake up and see this and do away with alias' once and for all.

It's just a fuck board for fuck's sake, and I would like to remind  you and the board that you crawled back on here once pretending to be a man. I don't think you have any room to talk.

BTW, saying "end of discussion" does not by any means end the discussion. lmao

3mdssa1345 reads

go back and crawl into whatever hole you came out of I see. You weren't missed. And yes, so it's a fuck board, but I can guarantee you, things are deff taken out of context and taken more seriously than most admit...don't kid yourselves...even tho most of you act like complete children.  

When people 'attack' the way they do here and for those who continue to post, myself included, who get ridiculed for our 'words' just because we have the 'right' to post just as any of you........doesn't mean we can't say what we want, when we want.  

I will post as a man, a woman, anything I want to and I will leave when I want, not when the idiots on this board of 30 years apparently think I should leave or try to bully me off to leave...no way. I'll leave when Im good and ready and if you don't like it, well tough. There are many things I don't like on this board that transpire daily, I don't expect to change them, but I will be a voice and that's tough if you don't like it...I really don't care.  

The masses don't always win, even tho in their minds, they think they do

But some of these guys gave a lot of time and effort so girls like u would have a place . I get along with most people and do not with others , thats called life . If you can't handle the general discussion board go to the regional ones . But to continue to think your way is the only way is ridiculous . The majority of people here have fun and help ! U don't want advice , u don't want to have fun , u want everyone to book u , it aint gonna happen !  Look we let u be 39 , say thanks and call it a day ! That's abuse of provider years in and of itself . 7 year penalty ! Right coach ?

Aliases are not dangerous if you don't put yourself out there, as in posting on the boards and pissing people off. The reason they are allowed is so guys can be honest about some of the nut jobs that would call their wives for a bad review. I've pissed off several I am sure, but don't much care. Takes more than a reference to see me.

I can't think who hasn't been offended  LOL

If someone is concerned about words here publicly...they are pretty naive.  You can't out anyone here without getting banned.

However the real intel is not made public...yet it's all there.  You still have to be able to discern between real intel and simple BS...but I know many of the pals I've got here who is speaking the truth and those that just like to be shitstirrerstill (hmm...I seem to recall that handle  LOL)

I also like the gals being able to use aliases...or brown envelopes.  Otherwise most are just too "nice"  LOL   Without an alias they would always tell the guy(s) that his DATY skills are the best in the world, and always results in 10+ O's.

Or at least those capable of being offended, which leaves the like of you, me, LR, Inicky et al out of the equation.

I agree about allowing the ladies to post using "brown envelopes" without that feature we would most likely not have posters like justanillusion, WOW and a few others who can tell the "truth" or at least the truth from their perspective without harming their business.

It's easy for you or me to say whatever the fuck we want on this board, the consequences of anything we say are minimal at most. The ladies are in a different boat, this is their livelihood and winning some stupid argument on TER isn't worth the hit they might take financially.

Exactly what I wanted to say, but would have worded it all wrong, lol

Taylor, look at the way they rail on me.
It's entertainment, don't take it so personal.
You know who you REALLY are, that's all that matters.
If it wasn't for all the shit that goes on around here, this site would of went under long ago

When are you start posting using your real name? I am sure, Taylor Steele is your real name and you give it all your clients.

I am thinking establishing credentials using a different name just like you providers.

Sometimes (for me anyway), it's the only thing that makes sense & it's a great outlet (play it loud and dance til ya caint dance no more)

PS. If you don't like my selection, try "Dream On" by Aerosmith or "Californication" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers or "Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani, "Sound of Winter" by her hubby Bush OR if ya need to really release some anger I highly recommend "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed

Because you knew that either myself or someone else would have pointed out your second screen name. I also have bad news for you. The alias feature will not be going away. In fact, it may just get better ;)

Aliases were allowed on TER for a reason. The founder (with some sage advice) was smart enough to know that the boards will be better, more active and much more exciting with aliases. It was also done with the safety of the hobbyists in mind, to protect us from the crazed providers and even other hobbyists. Like Nicky mentioned, the boards are not kinder and more gentle with a single alias and even posts under real handles are just as they were. In addition, providers who use aliases are more open and honest and don't have a problem kicking up some dirt themselves.  

You of all people should have sprung for VIP in the beginning and used an alias aside from your screen name. If you would have been smart enough to do that, you may not be hurting for business because you have been written off as a nutcase by so many hobbyists. As usual, your lack of insight has caused you yet another business failure.  

My advice of the day for you......"A closed mouth gathers no feet"  

PS: With regards to your other post, no one wants you to leave. You are so paranoid that you think a bunch of us want you to leave. That's not the case. As GaG points out, what fun is a party without a pinata?

Panthera121420 reads

I am always right. Aren't you going to say "you win" a couple dozen times again?

Or is "coach" not your real name...that would be so disappointing to know.

Why care what handle anyone uses...plenty here only use their alias handle to post...and use their original to do reviews.  Some have created multiple brown envelopes with more aliases...yet if whatever that member happens to post I find funny or informative, why give a rats ass what handle they use.

Are you also in favor of putting up real names and pics?

You certainly have the right to your own opinion, that is why I made the post. I wanted to hear what people felt. I expressed myself in my post. I have no desire to comment on yours. If it makes you feel tough or proud to attack me, go for it. I hope you feel better now.  

If you think by my post I am suggesting people use their real names, well then that tells me all I need to know about your intelligence. And yes I know you will have something else to say, go for it. This will be my one and only reply to you.  

Just another name to add to my list of people I will no longer read anything they post. Have a nice day.

Taylor...err roger...or whatever other handles she's used or is using  LOL

Attack you...nah.  Just too easy.

Glad you had to comment on putting me on ignore...we're (as in GaG, nick, LR and a few others) running a contest for the most antagonistic poster.  I think I'm winning...but maybe someone will disprove that?

his legal first middle last name followed by his 9 digit ss#

Other wise he will remain an anonymous poster, just like every one else here.

I'd also like a current DMV report.  Heck, why not his FICO scores and a direct link to all his social media.

Touring. Chicago is designated as my city because I will frequent there the most

Or is it the other way round, I am a man hater BECAUSE I post anonymously and some of the guys don't like it.

Maybe one of these days I will come out from behind the anonymous curtain. Nah way too much fun like it is. And since no-one is using their real name, we are ALL anonymous.

are to one self anonymous. Do you have Facebook account? Do you have your actual name, address and a photo on it? If you do I understand your question because you don’t have a clue.

Most people like to keep their privacy and does not want to put their personal information in Public.  

Don’t be coward, post your personal information on the Internet. Post you SS#, Credit Card #’s and Bank Account # on the Internet. Better yet, just post your address, I will find the rest for you and post on your behalf.

Posting anonymously is not being coward instead those who post anonymously are being wise.

You Sir are missing my point. I understand we are all anonymous on here, even the ladies are anonymous. They do not use their real names as providers. I get all of that. My point is once you have established a name on here to use, why post under any other name but that one?

Again, I am not expecting everyone to agree with me, I simply asked to here some thoughts out there on why, nothing more than that. It amazes me why when people disagree they feel they need to get the claws out and start scratching away. It was a simple question and I simply gave my opinion and asked for other opinions as well.

If not maybe just chill man.  Seems to me some of what you're dishing here is the same kind of invective you're calling out others for.

Again I get it, we are all anonymous on here. I guess I should have asked once you have established a name in here why do you post under a different one

The ladies do it so they can bitch slap the guys without having to worry about the wimpy ones getting scared away.
The guys do it so they can bitch slap the ladies without having to worry about getting put on a DNS list.
Everyone already knows I'm an idiot, so I see no reason to hide the fact.  
I'm a harmless dumb ass so I can still get a date no problem.
I'll bet there are different reasons for different people.
I don't care. Why do you?
This really isn't the forum to judge people... We are all bad here! :

and there are innumerable threads you could have searched to find your answer.  For the record, I have an alias but almost never use it.
First, as some have already said, some guys do not wish their posts and reviews to be connected for obvious reasons.  Some gals don't want their tougher posts to affect their business.
Second, unless you want to go to the trouble of changing your handle, as you post you inevitably build up a reputation.  mrfisher, for example, is known as decent, unflappable, wise and funny.  And when lungman posts, you can also be pretty sure what you're going to get.  So what if you have a question and you don't want people to associate it with your handle?  Something about an STD, or something that might reveal some personal things about your real self, such as issues of sexual performance.  But you need information that only those in this  community are likely to have.
Third, back in the days of multiple aliases many (including management) felt they contributed to the negative tone on the boards and limiting them would improve things.  We can all see how that worked out.
What was lost?  A lot of the fun went out of the boards.  I had nearly 200 aliases.  Most of them were just for fun; were never used to flame and were self-outed.  For example:
Conan The Grammarian: corrected those who mangled the language.
J.EdgarHooker: commented on LE issues.
Repellent Fucktard: was used to tease a senior member with an alias called Fucktard Repellent.
GaGamblersRetardedBrother: was used to tease GaGambler's alias called GaGamblersSmarterBrother.
HirogensMom: was used to play games with a nasty guy called Hirogen who called everyone a mangina.
RubicsPube: just sounded funny.
Get the idea?  They're all gone now, along with a lot of the fun.  And this place is as nasty as ever. Getting rid of one lousy alias won't help

She talked like she came from a trailer park, had just been released from jail and begged him to come help her run a glory hole she owned, where he helped clean up.  She also claimed to have personally taught Hirogen all he knew about sex.

Truth be told, it was one of your lamest aliases.

but in general I do agree about aliases, eliminating them has certainly done nothing to make this a friendlier place. I only used them for fun and to keep my name from appearing in red when posting on a board that I also moderated. I don't even have the one I am allowed here today, I have no need for anonmynity, and only having one is no fun, so why even bother? We did have some fun with them back in the day though. Rembember the "aww" family? Awwshit, Awwfuck, Awwgofuckyourself. lmao

TER history of this subject in one post.  

I've said it before and I'll say it again...multiple aliases brought a lot of fun to the board. I remember laughing so hard many times, where my stomach hurt, tears in my eyes - oh the insanity!

I especially remember on the Chicago Board, when there was some political drama unfolding with the mayor and somebody trying to sell a seat in congress ...the details escape me now, but it was f'n hilarious.  

I think since we have the report a post (before to complain, ya had to pm the moderator with a link of an offensive post), it's easier to deal with attacks, that multi-aliases should be brought back. I love them, even if I couldn't get a word in edgewise cuz I didn't know what the heck was going on lol.  

Cluelessness can be funny too hahaha

and there are innumerable threads you could have searched to find your answer.  For the record, I have an alias but almost never use it.  
 First, as some have already said, some guys do not wish their posts and reviews to be connected for obvious reasons.  Some gals don't want their tougher posts to affect their business.  
 Second, unless you want to go to the trouble of changing your handle, as you post you inevitably build up a reputation.  mrfisher, for example, is known as decent, unflappable, wise and funny.  And when lungman posts, you can also be pretty sure what you're going to get.  So what if you have a question and you don't want people to associate it with your handle?  Something about an STD, or something that might reveal some personal things about your real self, such as issues of sexual performance.  But you need information that only those in this  community are likely to have.  
 Third, back in the days of multiple aliases many (including management) felt they contributed to the negative tone on the boards and limiting them would improve things.  We can all see how that worked out.  
 What was lost?  A lot of the fun went out of the boards.  I had nearly 200 aliases.  Most of them were just for fun; were never used to flame and were self-outed.  For example:  
 Conan The Grammarian: corrected those who mangled the language.  
 J.EdgarHooker: commented on LE issues.  
 Repellent Fucktard: was used to tease a senior member with an alias called Fucktard Repellent.  
 GaGamblersRetardedBrother: was used to tease GaGambler's alias called GaGamblersSmarterBrother.  
 HirogensMom: was used to play games with a nasty guy called Hirogen who called everyone a mangina.  
 RubicsPube: just sounded funny.  
 Get the idea?  They're all gone now, along with a lot of the fun.  And this place is as nasty as ever. Getting rid of one lousy alias won't help.
