TheEccie... Wow really? I'm not going to rehash old drama... but, there is the slightest bit of truth in there mixed in with a whole lot of exaggerations and flat out lies. Anyways, I'm past defending myself. Yes, I got one no review...but I've also had 3 yes reviews that tell a totally different story. Wouldn't you say majority rules?
I have no need of photoshop... I used to edit my pics a LONG time ago and I quit.
I'm not saying that I'm broke or not making any money... I'm just wondering about all the time wasting stuff that is occurring. Don't try to turn this into something it's not. You may not like me, who cares? There's plenty more who do. So you just do you and believe me I'm going to keep right on doing me. As long as nothing I'm doing affects you personally why would you even worry about it let alone take up a vendetta of slander against me. You've never even met me.
By the way...that little vicious attempt to insinuate I've been somewhere I wasn't... that wasn't cool at all. Would you like me to forward you my travel itinerary regarding New York? That's where I've been. End of story. Smh
This is the one and only response you are getting from me in my own defense. It's totally not worth my time or my energy to respond further.

He, along with a few others on this site, will construe ANY post by someone they for whatever reason dislike, much more the starting of a thread, hijacking the thread to steer it towards their agenda. Usually doing so by making up stuff out of thin air, aka lying, or stating their opinion as fact to do so. When you have had issues in your past, (we all have) and even if/when you have acknowledged them, trying to wipe the slate clean and looking to do better, here they come again with their bringing up old and basically forgotten about past history and do their baiting tactics.
Katrina gave you some great advice, Kitty, be as anonymous as you can possibly be and keep your personal business personal. As she said, you do not need anyone's approval of what you do and of your life on a whore board. Just be yourself and have fun, do not worry about or even acknowledge the haters. Some will move on to others to spew their garbage to looking for a reaction, while others who are dead set on getting you to bite and keep cyberstalking you and your posts will continue, but what really infuriates them is to ignore their posts. Eventually, they will be the ones to slip up and instead of them RTMing your reaction post, you can RTM their initial post and hopefully, the mods will be the ones to give the reaction!
Now, getting back to your OP. Being NCNSed is one of the worst things that happen in the hobby, but it does happen more often then you think, from both sides, and with otherwise supposedly reputable people, so things have not really changed all that much per say, it is just the way it is reported. It has happened to me numerous times with verified providers with double digit reviews and it is always when I drive across town, 40+ minutes one way, and as soon as I am there at the intersection she wanted me to drive to, the communication goes radio silent.
As far as rates go, stick to your guns, but if you really need the money for whatever reason, run a special rate for a temporary time, with it being 100% your call, but if you do, make it special enough on the BCD activities to where they will be wanting to see you again and happy to pay your full rate at the next encounter. The hagglers that contact you and but refuse to pay your posted rates, once that is said, do not reply to them if by PM, text or email and hang up on them by phone.
Some hobbyists are looking for the most service for the least possible donation and the pendulum swings both ways, some providers are wanting to do as little service as possible for the most donation they can get. That has been going on forever and will never change!
Good luck, Kitty.
