Yep, it's an unfortunate reality of the world that in social situations -and this is a form of social interaction- those who are most vocal and pushy tend to dominate the space. I still disagree with you that they are in any way a majority of posters on this board, it only appears that way because of the frequency and volume of the minority's activity.
The funny thing is that the people I have in mind when talking about them are likely different than those you have in mind. It's all subjective.
I have been speaking here not as a moderator but as a member. No red italics=just me talking as any other member. If you'd like to have a discussion about gray area guideline violations, what constitutes them, and the difficulties of applying them fairly and consistently we can do that as well. I felt that was beyond the scope here but I can see the overlap as now you are seemingly getting into some of the gray area rules that are subject to interpretation.
Let's do it in another thread though I think we've hijacked this one quite enough past the original topic lol.
My feeling about the OP is that he's entitled not to share her name obviously. I just think he's doing a disservice to the rest of us. I said before and I'll say again, there are ways to say anything you want that will either not provoke a negative response or will make obvious any agenda-driven opposition that arises. I honestly believe that and we've seen it many times before. Either way, it's his choice to make and he's made it...

This is why I have been hobbying less and less and less than I used to in the past, because I'm seeing this trend becoming more and more common among the new generation of Providers, the delay tactic that Mr. Zanzibar talks about aka the "talk to me baby scam".
The 45 minute delay is the worst I've seen and I felt the urge to speak about it. I know you have been through a similar experience and I understand the disappointment you felt, it was an outrage and you were justified in speaking against it. I have heard most of the good and hardworking Providers complaining that hobbyists are asking for shorter sessions, from 1 hour sessions that were once common ... down to 30 minutes, because of the bad Providers that scam hobbyists from their time.
When I see my stripper SB. We greet at the door and we kiss. She brings me a water bottle or a glass of wine and I follow her into her room. We undress as we talk, we then shower together and we talk, we dry ourselves talking and return to the bedroom. The action begins and we talk, while we do our thing, we talk and say nice things to each other. After round 1, we take turns massaging each other's bodies and we talk as we cuddle together recover, then clean up. The same with round 2. We have a good time, it is mutual and reciprocal, I give and she gives back, it works out fine. As a result, I enjoy taking her out shopping, dining, to sports events, and doing other cool activities. She appreciates and values my time and I appreciate her and I take care of her needs just as good as she takes good care of mines.
In contrast to the situation, where I'm laying there for 45 minutes and no action, she didn't kiss me at the door at all, no water bottle was even offered ... and when action finally did take place, I was rushed, shouted at, and I did not enjoy my experience at all.
I disagree about the percentages but in principle I agree with you guys and wasn't referring to you specifically.
But, nothing is catered to or nurtured. I just don't feel like it's anyone's right to dictate what other adults can and can't talk about unless it is expressly forbidden in the guidelines. The site owners feel the same way apparently.
Some people take offense at some things that others find hilarious. Others think no one should ever be allowed to be offended and draconian censorship measures should be enacted to avoid such a thing. When you ask 100 people though who should decide what is considered offensive and according to what criteria, you get 100 different responses. And therein lies the problem.
Like every message board on the internet this is, to some extent, a microcosm of the real world. Idiots and assholes abound. If you can't learn to spot them and navigate around them then you're going to have a tough time of it.
Trying to forcibly create some "Kinder and Gentler Eccie" is a farce. All that is needed to change the culture is more people of like mind not engaging in the behavior they find unacceptable and elevating the conversations above the lowest common denominator. If those same people simultaneously ignore, marginalize, or publicly call out/shame the ones whose behavior they dislike then eventually a shift will take place as more and more people join their ranks.
It has to happen organically though and be rooted in and driven by the membership. Have a problem with a misogynist asshole being a misogynist asshole? Say something about it. Don't want to get involved? Ok fine. Either way the freedom is yours, and the guy/girl you disagree with has just as much right to their opinions as you do yours.
Nothing is catered to or nurtured that the members themselves do not allow to continue.

I take off my hat in respect and I would also like to salute everyone who has spoken in a civil manner, btw I wouldn't mind buying and sharing a beer with you all = )
