Drama, Highly Vocal posters, Disrespect, Trash Talk?... Why do YOU perceive ECCIE to not be a "friendly" place?

Again wake up and smell the coffee if you do not like the conversation start a new one. You can always ignore and just not read others postings.... Again thousands of ECCIE members and no one is stopping them....

Just give me a break of that kit kat bar....

I don't mind you guys (yes I know you're 3 different people so sorry for lumping you together but...). I've read a lot of your stuff and been entertained by it (OK I skim anything that starts needing colored letters to organize the response). Just don't be all "aw shucks we're just 3 fellas 'round here out of 3000".

My coffee could end up all over my screen and keyboard and that's a waste.

I don't like pop up books.

Definately a pot/kettle thing here. Your one of the quickest ladies to go mean or lashy in post I've read from the past so I don't think you have much credibility here. Originally Posted by homer13

Three guys. 15,436 posts. Good or bad, don't try to pretend you're not taking the time to impact the tone. Originally Posted by irishlad

I count 32 unique posters in this thread with what looks like 5 neutral to the message and 12 supporting it.....

vs 15 definitely against the message and none of them can admit to how this started and why.....

Nor is there really very much contribution to the substance of the board, reviews and information, provided by the loudest voices in the discussion complaining about how unfriendly it is around here.........

I appreciate tworthy's reviews and contributions... most of the others here bring noting but complaints to the table.....

I don't like Buddyman most of the time but I'll sit and have a beer with him because he's man enough to speak his mind as well as participate a bit.... plus he was a damn strong contributor to the fund raiser........

Sigh.... while some of the posts here can be amusing.... I keep thinking that this is a hobby.... and whenever I encounter unwanted "drama", and those seeking to begin that "drama", I stay pretty well away. I'm not especially fond of those who trash providers (I mean those who try to "tell" providers that they should retire, or that they're too old, etc.).... Seems to me that each of us involved is here voluntarily, and that the "drama" is something that most of us can live quite happily without! I feel no need to "name names", since those who appoint themselves as among the most important or influential tend to reveal who they are right here.... so, I'll just move forward spending my time with those providers that I like ... no matter what anyone else "decides" about them... ;-)

As an Administrator of many years I have found when derogatory terms are tolerated it creates the perfect storm for personal attacks and the threads written monthly about this issue only to result in the same outcome.

WOW!

It has been a long, long time.......

You back home in Texas?

Even more pathetic is that in this very thread where they "claim" to be nice guys, they are here questioning the male posters manhood and questioning the level of testosterone the male posters have, and even calling you men "ladies" because you are not "man enough" to disrespect men and women who they do not like on this board...funny huh? Not really...it's sad.

Where did I question anyone's manhood in this thread? You said THEY which would include me. Get your shit right toots.

Any provider supporting these mean people are only doing it because they want their business and money.

Sure, I can see that. I would like to think that any provider who supports me has some kind of mutual respect for me. You say that these women who support us "mean people" only want our business and money. That could be said for ANY provider who defends ANY hobbyist actually.

The men who support them fear to speak up because they want to be invited to the Socials that Whispers likes to throw in order to take the heat off his childish actions.

There are several guys who have been to the socials who don't agree with myself and Whispers, etc. Know what you fuck are talking about before you make a comment on something that you know nothing about.

The lurkers fear to speak up because of the retribution they will suffer at the hands of these people

Oh yeah, that's right. Big bad sixxbach is going to fuck up a mothefucker who speaks up against me. Pssshhhh get a clue. I think all the smoke you have been inhaling over the 40 years you have been dancing to half empty strip bars has done some damage to your mental capabilities.


The providers who support them just want to be invited to the Socials so that they can get more business. If they speak up? Then they aren't invited. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how things are, and it's really quite easy to see the Mode of Operation that Whispers, Wyldeman30 and Sixxbach and the rest are using...and it has been working for them.

Once again you have no clue what you are talking about. Hobbyists invite the ladies THEY want to see, meet, etc. There have been several ladies who don't agree with me or Whispers who have come to these socials. Damn woman, you are making this too easy.

The bottom line is this...why is it that you boys can't be nice? Do you REALLY think you are more of a man when you act like a child? Originally Posted by Ivory
