I can't blame you, there is so much drama, cattyness and just plain rudness on this board. I have been here less than a week.. on my first or 2nd day here.I accidentally posted in a wrong area since I did not know there was a rule against it, and I got reported, chastized by mods (who was very nice about it to his/her credit), refered to as a spammer, and spoken about very negatively... now i have people messaging me thinking i said something bad because my comment was removed and a not made to that affect on the forum..all I did was tell someone that the girl in question does look like their pics because I have hung out with her and its like people came unglued and/or accused me of being a liar etc... people who have never even met me or even seen me in real life talking like they know something about me... it just all seems so negative and I am seriously considering removing my profile from here as well! There should be a rule about posting anything about someone you have never even met.... I'm still undecided, but I think Im out of here soon myself. Life is just too damn short to have to wade neck high in drama and BS while walking on eggshells... And it just seems like unless you want to get catty back or otherwise jump into the fray , you will be left behind... I guess I'm just too nicely natured and perhaps a lil sensitive for this board. Anyhow, I wish everyone the best...I should make a decision by the end of this month.

Second I'd like to attempt to explain the stigma behind providers posting in the review section. Often times we hobbyist encounter providers registering to promote themselves or attempt to undermine their competition by sabotaging reviews. That in turn formulates a problem with our hobbyiest who's main concern is to get accurate information so they can make a well thought out decision regarding the provider being reviewed.
With that said typical protocol for allowing providers to chime in regarding reviews or hobby related topics is the co-ed section because it allows for more opinion or discussion to partake with both hobbyist and providers...........will you encounter some resistance? Of course....... not everyone see's eye to eye on every subject......Negativism? Perhaps.....tone can often be hard to interpret via text moreover some folks just have a more candid way of expressing themselves. Drama? Well that all depends on how much of it you choose to partake in. Sometimes you have to stop and think if a comment is so malicious or disturbing that it's worth responding to additionally as high as emotions run sometimes you have to remember that these post can be brought to the staff's attention with the RTM button.
The staff is here on a voluntary basis which means we may not always be online but as I assure you that each post reported does not get ignored.
