Well said Haley. See some interpret things the way the wish! I think you got my point, thank you! If you are talking about something that is personal to you or that you need to protect yourself, than sure go ahead. And, everyone CAN use an alias, but I say grow some balls if you are using it to stir up shit!
That when some people on these boards want to get something off there chest or say something that will piss another off, they hide behind an alias. I mean, they are just words you are speaking behind a computer at your own location- but yet, you still feel the need to hide behind an alias? In the heat of a heavy debate- you may see three or four alias' throughout the thread- the same ones who are talking the loudest at that- or the most shit. I personally like to know who I am debating or going back and forth with. I think it is cowardly for some of you who use your alias' to talk smack knowing you sit 3 ft. tall behind your computer chair! Something Ive noticed for a while on many boards!
The reason, preciouz, is because many people on these boards will meet each other in person one day; and they don't want any potential bad blood from simple disagreements to taint the experience.
Likewise, sometimes revealing your identity could simultaneously reveal the identity of the most recent provider you have seen. If you are discussing her using an alias, you can do so without harming her. The minute you don't use an alias, someone will figure out which provider gave you XXX STD. (I saw a guy post recently that he got chlamydia via BBBJ from a provider.)
I have very controversial views -- some of which could certainly alienate some providers. But I'm not going to hide and lie, either. You don't see me using aliases for controversial stuff.
But that's my choice -- and there's a price that goes with it I'm sure. Others can reasonably choose not to do it that way and I wouldn't hold it against them.
Now ... smile! (*grin*)
I really don't know why the big stink about aliases. These are all aliases.....some just like to use an alias to the alias. I agree with John, there are threads that will invoke a controversial, or harsh response, and though someone might like to speak his or her mind on the subject, they may get shit on their home board, or may alienate a provider. I use them a lot when posting pics to add to the thread. But for some reason there are those that think you are either a "chicken shit" or that you have nothing to say because an alias was used. This is JUSTa discussion board...it's really NOT that big a deal!
And that is when it becomes "chicken shit" as you say (I'm southern, love that term!).
With so many men relying on their TER board handle as a ref these days there are things a girl should be aware of before agreeing to be intimate with you.
It is just chicken shit to be all billy bad ass behind an alias anyway & not have the balls to stand behind your thoughts & opinions even on a board like this...It's only sex after all.

Why would any guy take a chance of being screened out by a provider based on a post on an internet discussion board?
Screen for safety, not opinion. You're gong to say: "Some of these posts DO raise safety concerns." BS - there is no way to determine if the poster actually believes what they post or is just trying to, as the OP said, stir the shit.
This would be a boring board indeed if we all went around trying not to piss of the providers.
...drama mongers, proponents of BBFS, or other ne'er-do-wells. I don't want any of that crap to be a part of my business or my life; seeing a client who indulges in juvenile or stupid behavior would risk me being dragged into it. No thanks!
because I can guarantee that your personal definition will differ from other providers or posters in general. We are all unique, and our individual barometers are correspondingly unique.
How is a guy to know what will specifically trip your "drama monger" or "ne'er do wells" alarm, thereby preventing him from seeing you just because of what he posts on an internet discussion board?
The only safe answer, if an alias is not used, is to never say anything that may possibly offend any provider that you may ever want to see in the future. Some guys on here take that approach. Not for me, and I don't want to be part of a board that goes that way because sooner or later it just becomes a provider worship board.
If he wants to be himself, he should be himself. There are several prolific posters who have very strong, very potentially offensive points of view who are not shy about expressing them. And they *also* have a large number of reviews listed next to their handles. Just because you might offend one lady doesn't mean you're going to offend all of them! In fact, you'll probably find some who agree with you.
I concur that it's a shame when someone is afraid to state his (or her) opinions. Of course, there's a difference between stating an opinion and being a troll or lunatic, pot-stirring, lie-spreading, bunny-boiling cretin. For example, while many (probably most!) of my clients have markedly different political outlooks than I do, that's no reason for me to not continue to meet with them. You vote your way and I'll vote mine, and then we can discuss it over dinner or on the P&R board.
However, just as many clients wouldn't want to see a lady who demonstrated such, I don't want to have anything to do with someone who has a strong tendency toward obsessiveness, stalking, rumor-spreading, or violent/unsafe tendencies. And while I'm Caucasian and rarely on the receiving end of racism, if I were a woman of color I'd probably want to steer clear of bigots for both my safety and sanity.
Which brings me to another point: I screen for safety *and* compatibility. No, honest, I do. I know that not all providers operate this way, but it's important to me that I also have an enjoyable time on my dates. I don't want to spend the time being uncomfortable, wanting to "get it over with", or wanting to stab the gentleman in the hand with my salad fork. The money's not worth that.

you and nearly all of the alias users around here wouldn't have to worry about being screened out if you didn't act like an a-hole in your post in the firt place.
i haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting Brennan, but would like to say three things about her based on her online presence (and i'm not defending her here; she can clearly do that for herself):
1) she is obviously a very bright woman.
2) we are of like mind regarding alias users; i have previously posted my opinion about it on the DC board.
3) she is one of the most beautiful women i've ever laid eyes on (only seen her pics), but she has bigger balls than you guys who regularly hide behind aliases.
i mean WTF, our legitimate board names already are aliases. grow a pair already!
paid for or will pay for.
What you have said about Brennan is undoubtedly true, but WTF does it have to do with the issue of using an alias unless you just want to score some points with her.
I'll let you in on a secret. All you need is the cash.
why my previous post and mentioning blake?
1) i liked her post, agreed with it, and respect her opinions.
2) as i said before, she showed more courage with her post than you obviously have hiding behind an alias. ladies can lose clients by voicing strong opinions here; it works both ways. she did so *without* an alias.
3) your "All you need is the cash" comment reenforces the statement in my earlier post about guys often acting like classless a-holes while using aliases. ditto your referring to blake or other ladies as simply "p---y." bet your mom would be proud
and there is *absolutely* no sense or logic in your comment "The real cowards are the ones who keep tryin to impress p---y that they've paid for or will pay for." that would make a person a coward how? IDIOT!
BTW, i certainly will try to see blake if she ever makes it to my coast. i only wish i would have known about her when i lived in LA and been unattached at the time.
and that's the last of the time i'll put in responding to a moron with an alias.
rant on if you'd like, but perhaps your time would be better spent on a sunday with your wife or SO rather than on the board?

People can still get chlamydia fro BBBJ no matter how they met.
But, I guarantee he wasn't tested prior to her to know for sure.
maybe he was a virgin before the BBBj.
“I have very controversial views -- some of which could certainly alienate some providers. But I'm not going to hide and lie, either. You don't see me using aliases for controversial stuff.”
I also often not PC and have knowingly pissed off many including lady friends who have a dichotomous different views but I will never choose to use an alias. If a lady cannot separate my board views and behavior from my in session behavior she is not worth seeing. In the end, when I look at myself in the mirror everyday it is the big head I see and not the little head. That said I recently had a delightful session with a lady I had major disagreements with for over 4 years. She was nothing like her board persona.

aw, babe . try not to let these boards eat your lunch.
Go to the spa.
Let it roll right off. Don't forget which way the envelope travels as StanVa says.
Try to use the Law of Attraction.
Remember how fortunate you are that you are paid and popular.
Buy some new shoes, really and don't worry your pretty little head about these boards. It's useless and beneath you.
I have a multitude of reasons to use an alias.
One of the main reasons is because I like it, and I pay for it. That should be good enough explanation for you.
I also do not like to follow the PC herd, and many of my opinions are honest as opposed to what someone wants to hear.
Many of the anti alias squealers are PC and get upset because they don't know who the messenger is.
More attention should be paid to the message then the messenger.
Please don't stop though. The anti alias crusaders amuse me.
Pullleeazze! Plz dont think becase I put the red angry face as my emotions that I was all stressed about it, b/c I was expressing my OPINION. And, I specifically said the ones of you who use your alias' basically just to stir up shit, so if that is you, and you responded, than I think you are a freakin' coward! And, yes some I may know. I did not say those of you who just use them for your basic threads. And so what you payed $20. Be proud! LMOAO Too funny! Just saying, half of you wouldnt dare say the shit you say behind your alias' w/o your cover!
It's your good name on the boards that people pay attention to. We all have many favorite posters that no matter what we would not skip reading their post.We respect what they have to say and their opinions are always genuine.
Now when an alias posts who really has any real
knowledge about this poster. He certainly isn't trustworthy since there's no posting history on this board. History is what makes what you have to say meaningful to others. You know nothing about his personality except if he's being an ass.
There are times when seeking help or info an alias will protect others. Is that good? You be the judge.
The gentlemen that posted about a lady just letting the condom slide off with no drama is a good example. He needed help to sort out his feelings about what happened to him. I think that's what this board is all about. If you saw his real screen name you would have seen all his reviews. Now the finger pointing starts. He was being fair and did what was best for everyone without spreading drama. Perfect time to use an alias

Well said Haley. See some interpret things the way the wish! I think you got my point, thank you! If you are talking about something that is personal to you or that you need to protect yourself, than sure go ahead. And, everyone CAN use an alias, but I say grow some balls if you are using it to stir up shit!
And many, (especially providers) SHOULD be using an alias when posting drivel.
Marketing is not everyone's strong point, that's for sure.
Maybe you need a pamrin! Noones driveling but you my dear. Seems as you may be one of those Im speaking of. You are probably a freakin midget who has been picked on all of his/her life who has been waiting for his day to be able to respond to another w/o being recognized. No respect for your type. Get over it sweetie.
You see, I don't have to market myself. You totally missed the point.
I have references and an envelope.
You have to sell yourself, not I. Good job, NOT.
Baby, I dont have to sell anything, just a simple choice opposed to giving it up for free and still not having anything to show for it and also because I know I can!!!! You once again, have an envelope, a few references, and an alias, so you are a frekin' bigshot, my bad- Pamprin. You should have used Douche- better fit for you.
You have a bad attitude from your posts, and you need spelling lessons. I would not book you based on your behavior, sweetie!!
I am posting an alias to make a point but you might not be smart enough to get the irony.
Except the fact that he will book with some of the ladies on here and they will be completely unaware of his bareback activities and go right ahead and give him a bbbj. Conversely, the men may book with the lady he saw.
I guess if this is not a concern, then let the games begin.
I do see your point about the finger pointing and yes it could certainly stir up a world of crap, however IMHO I'm sure the ladies would want to know if the next guy she might book did this sort of thing and even the men might be a little interested in who the provider is too.
as well as self interested ones
- I dont want an opinion I may express to hurt the feelings of provider friends who watch my posts
- I dont want to get into a feud over opinions with hobbyists whom I respect and whose company I enjoy (either in person or virtually)
- I dont want information that I feel the need to communicate to in any way be attributed to ladies whom I have reviewed.
- I don't want sociopolitical or religious opinions I may express to result in bad blood with those who take it all too seriously
- and yes occasionally I want to express an opinion or take part in a pointed discussion without this having an effect on my relationships with existing provider friends and without limiting future possibilities....
When they something stupid out their mouth, like I just said something stupid - hence the alias.
For men however, you are just a herk but for some ladies, its business loss.
would use an alias (except when a provider is revealing some personal data to make a point.) Usually, it is somneone who is expressing an unpopular opinion. I never got this, since we are all here incognito (except for a few friends I have met). If we can't be open and ourselves here, where can we be?
