After losing many brain cells reading that disaster thread in Houston forum from all the rtm'd posts, please don't bring that crap to Dallas COED.
As for the point of this thread. The Hobbiests aka "Your Customers" set the price, especially in Dallas where Providers are a "Dime a Dozen".
Many will raise their rates or come to Dallas and price themselves out of the market. BP GPS wannabes arrive here daily thinking because they have higher rates the guys will believe the service is top tier.
The gals who truly are top tier don't come into COED or anywhere on the board and boast or trash the ladies they feel are beneath them. This actually turns off the guys from seeing you. A GPS Provider who's egotistical posts drive business away. Guys don't want the drama unless they want to see you and write a "Buyers Remorse" review.
You shouldn't get into a battle of words with rockerrick, BLM, curvykatie, or really, any of the Hobbiests and Providers who've been here and ECCIE's predecessor since you were in Jr High. They're seasoned and know how to use the site to either build you up or destroy you.
Tread carefully or not. It's your choice, but remember, "You wrote it, you own it." Expect backlash from the way you attack Providers and Hobbiests.
Although you didn't start this thread with that intent, your actions in the Houston forum brought the drama with you to the Dallas Forums. Kind of like a zombie hoard following the smell of brains and blood from town to town.
