I'd really rather just drop the whole thing, and concentrate on what I'm here to do – make all my male friends deliriously happy.

It's clear to me that those who can't control themselves will eventually handle the problem for us – by getting themselves removed. Originally Posted by Ginger DollIndeed Ginger.
#1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences.
#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.
#4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members. If you have legitimate concerns about another member here, share them tactfully in the appropriate private forums or with staff.
#31 - Often times in the hobby arena, members may display a tendency towards bringing their conflicts with other members to the board. This will be strongly discouraged and swift effort will be made to put it to rest. Additionally, staff will make every effort to stay uninvolved in conflicts and disputes between members off the board except in such cases where the board becomes directly affected.
Enlighten me, please....which of the MANY dramas on this board are we now talking about?
And Chica Chaser and MrHappy and other mods, I don't mean this to be rude or discourteous in any way, but so many rules have been broken over the last year, or bent to the point of almost cracking, so much gotten away with, that I don't see the ECCIE "constitution" as having any power whatsoever. It doesn't seem to be administered evenhandedly, but perhaps it can't be. Maybe ECCIE has grown too large to be effectively governed? I've watched incidences of unprovoked rudeness, disrespect, and blatant insults increase exponentially in the not quite 3 years I've been a member. Calling it "drama" is like calling WWII a "skirmish." The board has pretty much become a battleground, and it makes me ill. Exchanging ideas is one thing, but the continuous hurling barbs of sarcasm and derision is making us all targets who either duck or hurl bombs back. People trying to be funny and clever are just being hurtful. Mediation will just be a "war of the words," giving virulent members yet another forum for their caustic comments and intolerant retorts.
ECCIE excretes negativity. I have to say, I don't much like it here anymore. (And yeah, I know, who cares, go somewhere else, hooktard biatch.)

It should not have been provoked in public! *But , it was!

I don't think anyone turned a blind eye to your plight; I just think maybe it was drowned out by the other drama in the thread and therefore forgotten. I can't imagine the moderators not addressing the issue had you brought it to their attention. Outing is a serious offense and should be handled as such. I have a feeling that had the "victim" posted the name of a client's wife, then she would have exiled from the community and forever blackballed in the AR forum. Conveniently, she only posted the name of someone I'm dating and since I'm just a drama-ridden little Arkansas hooker then its no big deal. Isn't that what you are implying, Mr. Giz? Are you disgusted that a provider was held accountable for her actions? I was issued points in the matter also. Had I posted someone's personal information do you think the consequences would have been different?
And that's OLD news. Ur for months it has set there while someone else gets it removed in a matter of minutes???? What is really going on??? Originally Posted by Sydney Pure
