I understand this is a business... for guys and girls.

I was so upset at the title of the post I was turning red, I thought you were going after us that like Games, um I love my Play station and x box, and my online RP Games.

...as I try to be fair in my judgements.
But there is a risk for the lady.  I like to avoid ladies with any hint of drama (not unlike how ladies screen out guys based on percieved risk and fit).  So if I see a post by a lady blasting a guy, I might think, "If I saw her and she objected to something I did, would she blast me publiclly too?"  I know that might not be fair - because she might be truly justified in making her post - but how do I really know this?  So, all things being equal, if I had the choice to visit a lady who has blasted a guy(s) vs someone else, I'd have to honestly say I'd choose the latter - and there will be no shortage of ladies who fit this category to choose from.

If it is just a board posting - then blast away.  Assuming you express yourself in a non BSC manner, no one will think less of you.  It won't change my purchasing decision.  One of my regular providers often likes to give idiots both barrels.  But to my knowledge, she's never commented on a review or a customer.

I think it matters HOW the information is relayed. Is it full of emotion or is it stated factually?

IOW although it's hardly fair, even if a hooker is 100% in the right, but she comes across "cunty" (where's Tobi when you need her. lol) she may chase off guys who try to avoid drama by getting too personal, too cunty, too combative, etc.

I have seen too many women post a rant on their local board where they appeared to be 100% justified in their ire, but after several posts on the same subject end up showing an ugly side to them that left me thinking to myself "What a bitch, I NEVER want to see her in person"

One other thing to remember, every regional board has at least one asshole like me who is going to test you into revealing that "cunty side" of your personality. Do NOT be baited into playing that game if you value your business and your reputation. Someone like me has NOTHING to lose by engaging you and getting into a flame war, before you get into a flame war ask yourself if you can honestly say the same. Obviously I am not talking to H+T as she too has nothing to lose as no one (well actually a few of us do) know who she really is, and thus she has no real life reputation to ruin.

"Calling out" anyone is never a good idea unless this someone is a major danger to providers, hobbyists or the general public! You could open a very ugly can of worms if you go there. Bad behavior comes from both provider and hobbyist, not just famous ones. Making note of his less than tasteful behavior here on the provider only board and cutting off all communication would be the the better way to go. Being a pro ball player shouldn't subject him to harsher consequences than any other client you've seen that might have displayed less than desirable behavior. Part of being a professional, in ANY business is being able to keep a cool head and to not take the bad behavior of others so personally.   Cut him off  and make other providers aware as you would/should ANY bad client.  My humble opinion!

To answer a few posts.... I didn't post BSC, never been that type of a person. It had nothing to do with a review, nor would I ever comment on one no matter how I felt, as people have a right to their opinions. Plus I'd rather my reviews be completely honest.

your right on the money but when you do call someone out do so with a degree of thought. If you have a reason to call someone out think over the reason and think over the response.  As always put on paper today and send it out tomorrow.   tooo many thing are changing in the hobby and society in general.  No one seems to want to confront the problem guy on the team or the in better terms liars and cheats .  These people hurt both sides of the equation in our hobby.

If you have a clearly advertised rate and he didn't pay it after agreeing to, then of course you can make it known. There's not really any subjectivity there. It's one thing if a person is just annoying or disagreeable, but quite another if they cheat on a business agreement. I don't think that the latter would be perceived as drama unless it kept happening to the same person repeatedly.

Hence my point on making it as emotionless as possible just focusing on the facts and once told, leave it alone. No need to defend.

BTW, welcome back.

Should I start setting a betting line on how long you will last this time?

I suppose if you are back, Tardy should not be far behind. Hey guys, it looks like the band is back together, or at least "almost" back together. lol

For one thing, you could post the world's most truthful, factual information - and somebody WILL call you a liar.  

No shows and cancelations are as much a part of this business as Viagra and stiletto heels. If I get stuck with the cost of a hotel, I’ll contact a regular and offer a deep discount to try and recoup my out-of-pocket loss. The goal of this business is to make money.  Brandishing a flaming sword in a public display of indignation doesn’t pay the bills.

Sounds like fun though  

Admin is trying to protect you from yourself. And do you really have to continue liking all your posts? It IS unseemly. Just trying to help. Welcome back!

Guess he'll have to stick with Facebook...and TER for now  
 

Was/Is awesome. Almost as good as the entertainment he provides here. Where DOES he find time for a job lol?
