Remember all the beef with the "lynch mob" and Sofia/Jasmin & Rafe fun times?

I fear many here have fallen into the trap of debating the 'legalistic' technicalities with JaD and others. The bottom line is that the latitude exists within the guidelines to deal with the current problems; question is does the will also exist.

At the end of the day will come a decision as to whether the powers decide to take control or leave the mayhem unfettered. I hope what is happening is a business decision about which is the more sensable (read profitable) choice. Then those truly in charge will have to state that if you don't feel qualified to exercise judgment then you should step aside. I suspect there are plenty of people capable of calling something for what it clearly is without getting caught in a debate of legalistic semantics.

FWIW...I could not more vehemently disagree with JaD's position throughout this debate. However, I do appreciate how maturely he has handled our disagreement. I have been repeatedly dealt with respectfully. I hope I have succeeded in doing likewise even when forcefully expressing my disagreement. Seems someone I would gladly buy a beer.

So your idea for the change to cure the problems of the Houston forms is to ban people who "act like jerks" and don't "act like adults"? Originally Posted by Wakeuр

I know that I feel better now

It's like being in a bar - you're welcome to have a great time with your friends, but when your bad attitude starts to effect other patrons, at some point you're invited to either cut out the crap or leave.

And when the 6'6", 300 lb bouncer tells some smartass to cut the crap, he doesn't get into a lengthy discussion where the smartass tries to weasel out of the situation by being such a clever chess player. I think that's a trap that mods fall into all the time. Many of the folks who stir up trouble are doing so in order to show the world just how clever they think they are, and the back-and-forth feeds this need.

If someone really needs to be told how to avoid being disrespectful, do they really belong here?

So ban all the people who don't "act like adults", and when they ask why they got banned, "don't give them any discussion"...

I like your board...

If I wanted to go to a bar I wouldn't be here...ijs.

Point of order. Bars exist in the real world. This SHMB does not. When people get "bad attitudes" in bars, fights break out, cops get involved, the bar loses money. When people get a "bad attitude" here, threads get funny, the board gets traffic and your lil' vajayjay gets sore. See the difference?

Additionally, respect is a relative term. To some, paying women to suck your cock, writing about it and ranking them in their abilities as cocksuckers might be a considered a bit "disrespectful". ijs

My guess is that the guys who keep doing this know precisely what buttons they're pushing, and when they're doing it. "Don't act like an asshole" should be plenty of warning that you've stepped over the line.

If someone honestly doesn't know when he's insulting someone, he's too dumb to worry about. No loss.

"your lil' vajayjay". Oh, that cuts. I have been totally put in my place.

There's no telling how many providers have been kept away from Eccie by the bad attitudes toward providers that are displayed here. And there's no telling how much business it's cost the providers who are attacked.

I also get invitations for sessions from providers who'd like to be on the list.

The list brings business to providers who I think provide great service. And it helps guys find providers who give great service. It benefits both hobbyists and providers. I feel confident in saying that overall, the list is a good thing.

But go ahead and mimic DH in trying to spin it into a bad thing. As I recall, he did that last time I criticized some of his antics. I guess for some folks, what you do matters less than who you suck up to. Sad.

Fair enough. As long as we're speculating, why not wonder about how many providers have stayed away from ECCIE because they don't want to be reviewed, or because they find the idea of interacting with their clients outside of work repellant, or because they don't see the point to having their ass kissed but a bunch of limp-dicked, 40-somethings? What are we to do about that, Capt. Save-a-Ho?

As for it "costing providers business", it comes with the territory. This is an Information Exchange, not a classified section. If her interactions on the board are costing her clients, what would a rational person do? And so what if it costs you the opportunity to meet a provider? If this is the only place you're getting your poon, then I'm sorry for ya... There are other boards, other classified sections, other ways, other places. To be honest, ECCIE isn't even an effective tool in my hobby arsenal. I come here because its entertaining.

We know. Its a sweet little gimmick you've got going there, though as for others "respecting your opinion", I'm not so sure. Its been years since I've looked at one of your lists seriously and not because of the ladies on it...

Defend your list all you want, all I'm saying is that to some, it might not be considered "respectful", to use your own words. Wasn't it you who said, "If you need to be taught what respect is, you don't belong here."? Are you volunteering yourself for a vacation via your own imagineered board rules?

Not quite, hero. There are posters I find entertaining, posters I find annoying and everyone else. DH amuses me. WU amuses me. I don't always agree with either of them. If that's "sucking up", so be it. Try growing a sense of humor and enjoying yourself. You'll find not being such an earnest douchebag all the time improves your mood.

Actually, he may be getting closer to a little honesty......although not one he would admit to....ijs
