First. Let me quote your own sig line:You read an awful lot into a one sentence reply. I have no idea how you reached the conclusion that I was referring to you. The OP was talking about people judgmental of others in the ISO forum, now this thread become another BBFS thread. That’s exactly what he was talking about. I would consider that a thread hijack. He used the BBFS thread from the ISO forum as an example of how people get away from the original post to get on their soapbox of disapproval. If someone starts an ISO thread looking for BBBJ, then I start posting about how BBBJs are nasty and only CBJs should be discussed openly, I would consider than a thread hijack.
What do you consider a hijack? The provider I responded to who was stating her opinion that the solution to this topic is a private forum or the FACT that on this site there is a demonstrated track record that there is no such thing as a private forum?
YOU have done what you have tried to accuse me of and just felt the need to try and take a shot at someone who posted a factual response to someone.
THAT is one of the major issues of this site, clowns who have nothing better to do but try and make subtle attacks on others.

I personally assume people have more sense than that.Almost all the time it is provider vs. provider. Lately we have had a high number of provider arguments here. Since I do not understand how your business works, why do you think that is?
It is because this is an escort board that people feel as though they can be mean to and degrade the women here. The worst thing is when we do it to each other. I love and respect my job and I think its fucked up when people come and make me and every other girl look bad by acting so nasty toward each other. Originally Posted by !!Sexy Erotic Morgan
I wasn't policing anyone, just making an observation on what's actually happened in this thread. "Hobby Nazi" was just being colorful based on the OP's title.

I also think there is a little manipulation on the part of the guys on the site to keep us separate and, therefore, weak. Many girls are not making enough money, don't have a regular client base and do not spend any time thinking of ways to change those things.I totally agree with most of that, especially the part about "social skills". Which equates to business skills. I don't believe there is any measurable manipulation from the guys, it's more of a self-destructive nature from some of the providers. A good business would stay away from anything controversial, but I see some of the same "outspoken" providers jumping in all the time. That tells me a few things, 1) they aren't busy, 2) they do not understand it is a lose / lose proposition for them and 3) they are struggling with good business common sense. Remember what happened when the Chick-Fil-A CEO opened his mouth about a controversial topic?
There are absolutely no requirement or training necessary to become a provider, so any crazy, ugly, or stupid girl can post an ad, and many do. They do not take this job or themselves seriously and look at it from a business stand point.
I started working as a provider simply because Britney Banks told me 7 years ago that she made $200/hr doing it. I stayed a provider because I see a very lucrative industry in the raw and I see opportunity in it. I take it very seriously and intend to be in it, in some way, for the rest of my life. It is what I know. I want to see us ALL do well, because it ensures I will do well. I understand how much unity and loyalty can benefit us all but I seem to be alone in that.
Can't say I stay up at night crying about it. I find it comforting to see how little real competition I have.
