Ok, everyone deserves to be able to vent a little frustration. It's not like you called out any particular hobbyists. I do think you were a little harsh considering that these are fans and at least they asked for specific dates, indicating a serious intention to book, but I also see your side of it. 30 PMs takes about an hour even if they're to the point and you process them efficiently. On the other hand, better to be popular than not, no? On the third hand, my admittedly second-hand understanding of BP is that the ladies that advertise there get a substantial fraction of non-serious callers, so I would hardly peg eccie as an exceptional hive of scum and villainy.
If I were in your shoes, I'd chalk this occasion up to the time spent doing the tedious correspondence any job sometimes requires. Going forward, I'd put something near the top of your ads and in the availability field of your showcase to the effect of "Please pre-book, available only on advertised dates." In the top of the biography and in your sig-line I'd put something along the lines of "I'm unable to accommodate dates other than those in my ads so please do not ask. Thank you for understanding."
I'll wager that you'll catch more cooperation with honey.
I personally will sometimes ask a provider how long she'll be available or if she'll be available on such and such a day, but only if she hasn't advertised a specific time-frame of availability, or if she indicated some uncertainty. For example, a lady I very much want to see again will be in town this weekend, but it's unlikely I'll have an opportunity to play with her, so I let her know that if I'm unable to see her this time, I will catch her on her next visit to Austin.
I will add that this thread surprised me a little bit. I was impressed with the integrity it took to post an alert about your curable bacterial infection knowing, as you must have, the misunderstanding and reflexive fear you would elicit, when you could have left your clients in the dark and they likely would never have been the wiser. So you seem like an honorable person.
But there's a lot of anger in your posts in this thread, and it seems unlikely that it's all over hobbyist reading-comprehension skillz. When you hulk out on the entire eccie male clientele, it comes off as though you're feeding your own anger by disparaging an entire community rather than the individuals who sparked the anger. There is good, there is bad and there is irritating stuff and persons on this board like anywhere. Like so many things in life, it's largely what you make of it. You can post scathing threads about the stoopid menz of eccie, or you can post threads about stuff you find annoying that you'd appreciate eccie men be more considerate of.
Perhaps you will dismiss what I have to offer as coming from someone who just doesn't get it, and if so, that's certainly your prerogative and I still wish you the best. But I hope I've provided some small insight into the perspective of some who aren't entirely sympathetic to your approach.
Everyone has bad days. I hope tomorrow is better for you.
