I would have to call that a stretch. What I've noticed that reduces provider prices is supply and demand.
If she has to compete against better options whether in looks, age, size or whatever her prices drop.
If her phone isn't ringing and she has to pay the rent next week her prices drop.
I have never heard of an in-demand provider reducing her fees simply because the board is a friendlier place or because she is treated with respect in the forums.
The younger hotter providers charge more period because they can and will get it.
Some not so young or hot providers charge more because they have other sources to pay the rent and don't really care if the phone rings.
Most not so in-demand providers who rely upon selling sex charge accordingly because they want to feed their kids.
I agree one should be nice in general in life as every word and action is a planted seed. The forums however are pure entertainment and a board full of nothing but cliche niceties, flirtations and empty compliments is boring as fuck.
Nastiness is quite unnecessary and cowardly but a place where people don't mince words, dilute their opinions and occasionally push a few buttons for fun with guys like this OP makes for entertainment.
If a provider isn't bright enough to recognize the difference between the two when weeding out clients then that's no loss to someone who appreciates some intellect and spice in his providers.

No, I don't think a provider will lower her rates because people are nice. If you cross-apply my "be civil on boards and new girls will stick around, lurker girls will become providers, BP girls will up their practices and join the ranks, and seasoned ones will suffer lower burn-out rates" then I think it's not too much of a stretch to think that there will be a bigger supply of happy, healthy, giving providers available, thus upping competition and lowering rates. Once again, I don't know if that increase in supply will be substantial enough to actually effect price, but the thing about studying economics in undergrad is that you deal a hell of a lot with hypotheticals and a lot less with real numbers. Also, I will not be doing graduate work in economics because apparently there is a lot of number-work involved.
