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'm a business women, and I for one would not stop advertising on a board that brought me income, simply because there are 'bullies' on it...

Ok.... By all means lets have a discussion.... Even disagree and/or argue...... But let's check the name calling please..... Otherwise there is very good stuff here.....

Edit to add.... I am not sure many have had as large a drama bomb fall into her lap than Val.... She still came down as scheduled, had fucktards lined up around the block to see her then beg her ass to come back into town..... And she made it out of the other side.... Just an observation....

Yep...because we "deserve" it...

For the first time I feel truly upset with you; because I want to laugh, but it is so sad that I can't even find it amusing. Even I hate to see you fall so far. SMH

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? Originally Posted by enderwiggin

The point of Eccie is to share information about the hobby. Not all providers will like that, especially the ones who provide lousy service or run outright scams. (Back in the day when I set up a board on Delphi in Austin, I got threats from a local pimp who ran scams. Free exchange of information makes the hobby better for everyone who's honestly participating, and worse for those who aren't.) And providers who don't want to interact with clients outside of sessions wouldn't want to participate in a place like Eccie no matter how it was run. I don't see a situation that needs fixing.

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. Originally Posted by enderwiggin

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... Originally Posted by enderwiggin

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?

If what I was doing wasn't wanted by the community, I'd stop posting it. Simple as that. "Because I can" is a 12-year-old's reason for doing something. The biggest complaint I have ever heard about my list is from those who think it's some sort of scam I run in order to get free sessions. (I learned early in the hobby that free sessions are the most expensive ones of all.)

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.

My sense of humor doesn't extend to attacking people repeatedly about their appearance, but I'm sure to some, that is simply hilarious. When I read the board, I do wonder how some of this stuff is still considered to be funny after the 14th time the same routine is posted. At that point, it's not about humor - it's about pushing buttons.

Val, without a doubt, you're one of the sharpest businesswomen I've run across in the hobby. Sadly, many providers don't share your acumen. I remember your getting attacked here; it was ridiculous.

I think the decision to suck up to Wakeup was brilliant. A little carefully targeted attention, and our resident bad dog dotes over you like a little pup, and all his followers fell into line. And Wakeup still eats it up - every time I see your photo on his avatar, I tip my hat to you.

Well played, ma'am. Well played.

The 'N-Bomb' is still just a few letters placed together to make a particular sound when pronounced. That is what makes a word, right? (In general terms) That word is offensive because of the way it was used and what it came to represent, not because the word itself inherited a priori offensiveness. I would say a group of adults could agree when other terms are being used for derogatory and hateful intent. We seem to be past admitting the intent behind the terms in question. Your point is just a question of scale. So, that question you are correct.

I will tell you right now that if he and I had never met up and were not friends I would still have business in Houston. He intrigued me, and after spending time with him I was very glad we decided to meet up, and we've been very close ever since. So contrary to what you and others may believe, our friendship isn't based on this board, it rarely ever even gets mentioned when we are hanging out. He's always been there for me through some really difficult times and I still regard him as one of my closest and most trusted friends. He is an amazing person to those whom he cares about, is not hateful, and is a lot of fun to be around actually. Perhaps that's why I have a laugh when I see how upset people on this board get over him, because in my eyes I don't see a mean person at all, (maybe a cheeky smart-ass who likes to fuck with some people ), but that's all.

And I must say the idea of me 'sucking up' to a man, or anyone for that matter, is just plain funny

And to know she is limitless and GOOD at what she does, I definately understand the demand. If I was a guy I would want to hit it! My only issue was posting pics of 500 pound women to make us BBW feel bad. Now that the name calling and insults won't be tollerated from BOTH sides, well then I will follow the rules!

Make the "Top 10" list a "Top 20" list.....or you could create sub-directories of spinner bait, whales and dolphins.....you could go further with the "end of the month cash-n-dash" specialists.

Opportunities abound.....ijs

Val, I hear you. I have no idea what your situation is with Wakeup - that's between the two of you. Just keep reminding him that he's a special snowflake, and all will be well. That's all we guys want. LOL. Seriously, it's great when you can make an actual friend in the hobby. It's just tough sometimes to know when you've got a real friend, so I always advise caution.

I think that's one reason I get frustrated when Wakeup starts his antics here. I like the guy in person; he struck me as a good guy, bright, interesting. There's no reason he should be so obsessed with the appearance of providers he's never going to see.

For some of the others, it's more obvious why they're crying for attention.
