Since I've already let the cat out of the bag, I'll go into a little detail about one of my freebie sessions. Just to disprove the notion that the asshole way is the only way to hobby. On my way to see a certain provider for the first time, I picked up something for her that I knew she liked. Wasn't even worth $5. Anyways I only saw her that one time. She disappeared for awhile. Then she texts me out of the blue one day saying that she needed some breaking in (she might have semi-retired) and that she owed me anyways. So a less than $5 goodwill gesture became a freebie session. So if that is WKing then I'm definitely guilty. I have my way of hobbying and I'm a newb compared to most of you vets but it works for me and it pisses me off when I get attacked because I'm supposedly hobbying the wrong way. If being a gentleman is the wrong way then I'm perfectly content with being wrong.

We've all gotten special treatment for being nice, attractive or for just being downright enjoyable clients at one point or another.
WKing
on the boards has zero to do with being a nice person. Two completely different topics.
Being nice or gentlemanly is what our parents taught us to be in general in life.
White Knighting is taking on the roll of Donquiote of a thread attacking windmills to protect the honor of a damsel who wasn't even asking for help.
Have you ever recieved special treatment for that? This is what my question directly and clearly referred to.
