Respect a simple yet lost concept

You're welcome, WTF! The royalty check is in the mail...
Everyone else, my apologies!
Beyond that....eh...I got nothing. I just can't muster the enthusiasm for yet another argument about respect and/or politeness. Originally Posted by Sisyphus

You're right, Sisyphus; this is exhausting in its unending spiral. Let's go back to sex. Is saying, "Please ____ me harder with your big ____!" considered a respectfully polite request even with the bad words?


No worries....I think we all know I don't have to hide behind anything to say what I want to say. I could give a flying flip about impressions. This is not match.com, and my honesty has certainly not affected my reviews or my rates. Originally Posted by London Rayne

First off, I think too many people mistake difference in opinions as being disrespectful. Originally Posted by Valerie

Can I hide in your viginia? Pleeeeeese, I promise not to tell, if you won't. I'm afraid these new Mods are about to come looking for mean ole me!



Talk away London, your honesty is refreshing! Originally Posted by WTF

Agreed. Reviews are made regarding performance. Rates are strictly the lady's business self-determination. Showing respect is something given in and outside the hobby.

My straight forward nature has never affected my business, so I don't intend to change it for anyone. Those who don't like it, can take a hike.

I will respect those who are entitled to it...period. I am mature and educated enough to express my opinion without yelling and tossing the "F" bomb, so I think that's enough respect. I don't go around being an azz just to do so...it's usually when someone has asked for it.

It is that simple. I assume every stranger I meet deserves respect. In most cases, I will not interact with them long enough to know better. Yet that is unimportant, because we will part company, and, in most cases, we will never again meet. In the short run, I am satisfied with the knowledge that I have done everything within my power to promote social harmony. Hopefully, in the long run, my behavior will have positive consequences, but I’ll never know.

But concerning the statement about knowing someone not long enough to know better you are right. Although it sometimes even then does not happen. I worked as a bartender, i know. Plenty of customers are rude when you make the slightest mistake. And they are strangers to me and i don`t know them. So its not that simply although i admire you for always being polite to complete strangers.

Could you not speak in riddles please? I have no clue what you are talking about. I am not pimping anyone out, so I can't control what anyone does. I don't run away from people who piss me off....I just don't respond to them. Simple. It is the internet by God...we are not all going to agree.

you rock girl, and what i love about you is how you manage to be even in the most intricate situations calm and i like how you get your point across without being rude or writing superficial hogwash without meaning. I will try to learn from you . You are a good teacher to broaden my skills.

I have - so far - encountered two types of rudes on this board: The ones are the ones who act like me - using strong words and being unpolite . The others are like the one`s who i argue against :-) (lol) they are the ones who write superficial hogwash without meaning and judgemental stuff without explanation. Both is rude.

London has the unique skill to say something meaningful , bring the point across and maintain within the area of civilty. I adore that in a person. You have great communicative skills
