What I've Learned

15 posts in this topic

After watching some of my posts run amok, here's what I've learned:

1. Ignore off topic posts and posters.

2. Block posters I think aren't useful contributors.

3. Keep the names of providers out of my posts.

4. Don't waste time trying to respond to ridiculous comments.

5. Stay away from mean people who post here.

6. Get close to the people who really do provide help and answers.

Anything else I should know about? This tone of this board is much different from the others I post on regarding sobriety, caregiving, support groups, cancer, autoimmune diseases, cycling, skiing, and technology. I get the feeling there are people here who just want to cause trouble and don't give a damn about being helpful. I love a good fight, but I'll keep the fighting under wraps. I believe providers are people, just like us, and have feelings and emotions. I think some of the john's are just plain assholes. I can see why providers have to develop such a tough skin, and that saddens me, but also causes me to respect them even more.

It's a good day when you've learned something! I hope for that everyday!

There are a few posters who have nothing better to do than criticize, whine, and fight. I'm learning to ignore them.

Oh, and...nothing, and no one, on this board, is important. :)

Thanks PFunk. The ignore setting had to be here somewhere! What a great option!

I hope the idiots don't drive you off the board, Mr. Bum. You have interesting and thoughtful posts, and they are appreciated.

Unfortunately, the Internet culture has spawned a generation of cowards. At least in the old days, people had the common courtesy to insult you to your face.

Thanks Pitbull, and the same to you! We've had some good chats. Don't worry, now that I know how to control what I see I'm not going anywhere!

I doubt many folks even pay enough attention to your posts to put you on their ignore list. It has nothing to do with "the truth". To me your posts always come across as a sad person desperately wanting attention. You think the way to get that is to constantly call the girls names and try to make them feel bad. Maybe you were bullied in school, maybe the girls laughed at you when you asked them to the dance, who knows? Your posts aren't interesting, funny, or thought provoking. They're just the ramblings of a lonely coward hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet.

hey ski,

i've only been here a little over 5 years and posted in excess of 1,000 times but i've never had occasion to ignore anything or anybody, block anyone (don't even know how), i've mentioned providers in my posts any number of times, wasted lots of time responding to all sorts of inane comments, and stayed away from nobody despite their level of malevolence.

about the only thing i've done from your list is get close to as many non-hobbyists as time and budget would allow. and this 'providers are people too' crap has got to cease; it will only invite more flaming so stop all the ass-kissing and just treat them as the clueless whores that they are. <sarcasm font off>

since this board isn't in the category of altruism or athleticism, just accept it for what it is: an escort/client board and just deal with it. it's also it's no place to display thin skin either as you enter your 2nd month of participation

Urfan,

I have a problem. I'm too old and been through too many difficult times to put up with idiots. I just can't tolerate them any more. I'll fire a client if they start giving me a hard time. Life is too short to put up with it. Since I can't just go over and beat the crap out of some of these assholes, the ignore option is the best option I have. I'm a much happier person now that I don't have to read all the bullshit! I also don't have the time.

Thanks for your input. That sarcasm took me aback, btw.

Also, for what it's worth, I've been a john for over 40 years. I estimate I've had over 500 sessions. God, that seems like a lot but over 40 years I guess it's not. I've been around the block more than a few times, and hopefully learned at least one, if not two, things along the way. I still look forward to a session with the same, if not more, anticipation than when I first started out. I love hookers!

One more clarification. My participation on those medical boards doesn't come from altruism. It comes from personal needs that I use as a caregiver for my disabled wife, her dying father, and my demented mother.

No, I don't think he wants to make anybody feel bad. I think he's just unable to reconcile his own sexual desires and actions with his own desired self-image. His posts are really about himself, not anyone else.
