Are as sweet as kittens in person? I am not going to name any names! Don't worry. I wouldn't want to ruin tha Bad boy thing yall got going! There have been a few guys that I thought were the biggest jerks on the board and they turned out to be nice people. One of them... turned into a great friend of mine. We have never seen each other BCD, but I go to bars, ufc fights, brunch, dinner etc. with him and we always go dutch. Or he buys me a round, I pick up the tab sometimes. He is always a perfect gentleman and never tries to hit on me.. strictly platonic. He is also now in a commited relationship. You get the idea.
So, why do people do this? Who are you? The kitten that hides under the facade of an asshole? Or the asshole who plays kitten, in person, just to gain whatever he wants, whatever that may be. Or is it something else? Bravado? Machismo? Had a Bad fucking day?
What is the something else? Something that happens to the kitten that pisses him off, so he turns into asshole mode for an outlet? I really like to believe in the good of people. Ecspecially after becoming friends with a colorful character here. That shower me just how different people can be off/on the board.
What really creeps me out are the quiet nice ones with handles like Dahmmer though! Kidding sort of. Same goes for people who seem REALLY nice on the board. They can turn out to be quite unpleasant at times.
Respectfully and quite seriously curious,
Scarlett

It is quite sad that it is more than that for some.
I tune in for very short periods every 6 months to a year so it definitely serves as nothing more than a momentary diversion every long now and then. It certainly plays no relevant role in my daily life.
Also the term A-hole is extremely subjective. Those who've booked with me think very dearly of me as I do them.
That being said I do tend to be extremely honest and direct in my board responses without any sugar coated BS. I don't log in to kiss provider ass or stroke egos with insincere flirtation and banter. I also do not attack other members especially just because their opinion on a subject may differ from mine.
To make my point there is a respected provider in this very thread who has actually initiated contact with me twice through past pms expressing how much she greatly appreciated and enjoyed the insight and straight forwardness of my posts.
That is until the day recently came that my opinion on a topic differed from hers on a topic of importance to her. In her eyes I immediately transformed from being enlightened poster to knuckle dragging A-hole although my persona and post quality has not changed one bit since joining years ago.
I am hardly ever here but I disagree that spending too much time on the boards is the problem. I believe taking the boards so seriously that these posts actually matter is the real problem at least that is my opinion.
There certainly have been major trolls and multi-handled instigators in the past but I don't really see any them around on this pass through. I assume they got bored with Eccie and moved on.
