Beware of guys that short you, AFTER you leave

I do not post very much but I feel the need to add my opinion to this particular thread.

I believe in freedom of speech. I believe that every person has the right to voice their opinions regardless of how ignorant and myopic they may be. I also believe that a lady has EVERY RIGHT to not see someone that she is not comfortable with.

Having said that, I really get tired of reading this drivel. For the African American hobbyists like myself that have been doing this for a while and have NEVER shorted a lady and try to treat all providers with the utmost respect, posts like the original one are a slap in the face.

What you don't realize is that because of the negative stereotypes, many "established" African American hobbyists go out of their way to be on time, clean, respectful and make sure that they provide the correct donation. We want to enjoy the company of you wonderful ladies (of all races) just as much as the next guy.

If you look at most of the alerts, whether they be black, white or green, you will find that most are due to lack of proper screening moreso than race, creed, color or national origin. All money is not good money.

For all of the NBA providers, or providers who will jump to conclusions based on race, PLEASE PLEASE put NBA in your advertisements or showcase. That way, all of us who do not fit your criteria can avoid you at ALL COSTS. I never even want to entertain the thought of a lady who has preconceived notions about my character just because of my race.

So when can we expect Kelly to make a public retraction and apology to this poor gent? Originally Posted by ANONONE

Big C, you've known me forever. You know I would never ever do anything to cheat or mistreat a lady. Please see my replys. This has hurt me deeply. This was so unfair and uncalled for. I tried so hard to stay away from this kind of stuff. Wow! Originally Posted by Shaft

Shaft, please see my reply in post #26 to this thread as I pretty much stated what you said.....As soon as I realized who it was that she was talking about, I stated that you would never intentionally short someone.....

Hey, I know what it feels like to have someone attack your honor and integrity the way she did here to you, but I wouldn't really lose any sleep over this if I were you.....With 127 OKs on P411, and with the way MOST of the ladies have come to your support here, I'm pretty sure your reputation remains stellar in the lifestyle.....Further, you know it would take a whole lot more than someone posting something like this about you to create a rift in our friendship.....Particularly when she throws in the racial underpinings, which if you ask me shows more about her own shortcomings rather than casts any doubts about your character.....

Take care my friend.....I got your back bro.....

Note to self...
1. double make sure that I leave the correct amount.
2. And, if I am short due to an appt being much longer than planned, and even if the provider says don't worry about... she really means that I need to pay up asap.

Shaft,
You have demonstrated significant character in dealing with this matter, and for that, I respect you a great deal. Hang in there, buddy, and you will come out smelling like a rose in the end. It is obvious to me that you have a significant number of very fine ladies who have no problems at all with you and will see you anytime you want. Do not let this one provider ruin your day.

Hell, a man who hobbies that frequently, has that many provider OKs, and who was a gentleman on our date-- I personally would have overlooked the "mistake", had there actually been one made.

Definitely don't want to go where they have been, ever!"
^^^now i found that somewhat offensive, growing up in los angeles i am sooo not racist we have a little of everything there so i am used to being around many different races... there are good and bad of people in every race and i think it was very poor taste on her part to make that comment and slander shaft like that! and it was only 50$ come on now! if i was a guy reading this i wouldnt want to see kelly EVER and i also would never see a guy like the one who emailed me either but hey thats just my two cents!

It happens. And, it totally sucks.
Very disrespectful.

'Don't want to go where they've been'???

What's that thing about you've slept with everyone whom your partner's ever slept with....lol.

I guess by some connection I've banged Tyra Banks! Woo hoo..she was good!!!! So was Beyonce!!! Yayyy!!

I am the man!

On topic, it's amazing that we still live in a time where it's so prevalent. I bet some are pissed at their ancestors for eventually abolishing slavery.

WHOA! I am not even sure where to even begin except by stating that I, for one, and you will find that most of the women here, are equal opportunity providers that don’t discriminate on race, religion, etc etc blah blah blah!

*Now picking my jaw up off the floor* I am not sure where Ms Kelly of Dallas’s true intentions were in creating this post as it was created and read by most to be an alert - aside from all the ignorant, BS the alert seemed to be intended to caution other providers about this particular gentleman - WHY IS IT POSTED HERE ON THE NATIONAL FOR ALL TO SEE BOARD?!?

I always take things in that I read and hear with a grain of salt because my grandma said to every story there is his side, her side, and somewhere in the mix is the truth - you never will know for sure what that truth is, so always throw caution into the wind. By nature I always tend to play devils advocate and try to see things from another point of view, look at the picture through another persons eyes before attempting to draw a conclusion. I keep shaking my head and thinking what did this poor close minded woman think when she actually hit the post button.

Did she really believe this gentleman was such a menace that it warranted an alert for every man and woman in the community, was she trying to ruin the mans superior unblemished reputation over $50 he offered to make right ( might I add that she obviously felt secure enough that he was a good guy to provide an address for the monies to be sent ), or was she seriously intending to commit career suicide?!?

I am not sure what was actually running through this woman’s head! In fact, if the Mods indeed made any sort of attempt from the beginning to delete the post as it appears they may have, I have to give them a hand for attempting to save this poor ladies reputation. I keep reading the post over and over attempting to find something that is being misinterpreted by everyone but I am coming up with nothing! I mean come on, it’s 2010, “ the first African American Man I could trust”, has she only met O.J. Simpson and Shaft?!?

Mr. Shaft, I am sure most, if not all, would agree that your reputation has not been tarnished a bit, in fact, your reputation has even more glow than it did prior to this rant. I can not imagine how another hobbyist would have handled this type of inconsiderate and thoughtless attempt of a drag in the mud..

I also can’t wipe the smirk plastered across my face that after you, you this terrible, mean, unkind black man shorted this poor innocent white girl that she had the nerve to turn around and ask for another review after you already provided a glowing one and were being called a cheat! OMG WTF

Well let me get off my soapbox now, especially since nobody likes ugly and I feel the venom creeping towards my mouth! In my opinion the only thing this OP accomplished was opening up a discussion of the do’s and don’t of the exchange and posting a SPA on the national, ALL CAN SEE board, and nothing more!

Oh, one more thought….. Out of curiosity…. When a hobbyist jumps to the defense of a favorite provider we often label those men as the providers white knights so what is the term that is/should be used to describe the opposite - providers jumping to the defense of a hobbyist?

IMO it's still here to let everyone see Kelly's SELF POSTED ALERT.

She chose to put it here. She chose her words. She's had ample time to retract her accusations of being shorted and to apologize for her awesomely bad behaviour. She chose to publicly humiliate a good guy.

Now she can reap the consequences of her actions. Ignorance is not bliss, and "bein a product of your raisin" is soooooooooo not an excuse.

So far as all this WK shit goes.... whatever.. puhleeze. When did it become a bad thing to do the right thing?
Personally I don't give a fuck what anyone calls me for standing up and saying what needs to be said. And I will always stand for those that get beat down for no reason at all.

This may be fantasy land... but we are all still human beings. ~K
