And the circle jerk continues
Originally, my criticism of Justme79 was because he reviewed my review. I realize (in reference to my review) that a lot of thoughtful people would disagree with my attitude and approach in this case. That is expected. I was critical of Justme79 because he only had one review, and was racking up post numbers with random useless comments on other people's solid intel. This in addition to responding to my review as a way to defend his review of the same girl. Mind you this is the first girl he has ever written a post about on the board. Now, other USAG members are reviewing my review as a way to take sides in this argument. Unfortunately, that was what my problem was in the first place. That is why this could potentially go on forever. Especially considering that Justme79 has to "get the last word" with every additional reference to him. He is loving the attention no doubt. That is why this has been moved to a section of the board that nobody really cares about. If you want to go on and on reviewing my review please feel free. It really doesn't matter to me or anyone else.

[QUOTE=PhatDaty; 1737756]Just to clarify:
1) Comparing notes is fine, but you do not question a review with a post, you do it back-channel through a PM if you have a question or concern.
2) If you disagree with another monger's review you have a right to that perspective, but keep it to yourself, or send a PM. If you have a different experience with that same provider, rather than in your words "review a review" from here forward, just post your own independent review and let both reviews stand independently, which will ad to the diversity of research on this forum.
3) Never disclose the contents of any PM publicly without the sender's express permission, and even then, have a good reason for doing it.[/QUOTE]I'm afraid this monger must disagree with point two. If two fully qualified mongers have differing opinions I think it's ok to quote the original review and then illustrate the differences in your opinion. As we all know, YMMV is always in play and two mongers, fully qualified mongers I may add, at times have experiences so different with the same provider they may seem to be different girls. Information is power and no information is bad.
Additionally, at times, fully qualified mongers sometimes act like douchbags when a provider does something that pisses them off and post reviews that may not always be totally accurate. I can think of many other cases where two viewpoints presented in the same post (by quoting) can be of value.
The key in my opinion is the tone of the responding report. I am demonstrating collegial (is that a word?) debate with this post. I disagree with my learned friend PD, I'm not saying he is wrong as I don't presume to be the definitive authority on all things mongering. While there are many that might say PD can at times be difficult I doubt there are many that would question his mongering credentials, his opinion deserves respect and I am giving him what is his due. We can both do that and maintain respect for one an other.
When dealing with a less learned brother the same rules still apply, to an extent. On my local board I always try and start out being reasonable with noobs, we don't have the additional issue of LE to deal with (except how much to bribe them when the occasion warrants) but we do have youngsters that need gentle correction. If they persist in their nonsense I do at times resort to using my, [i]"main de souteneur"[/i], as our brethren in France might say but only after due warning. I personally detest the hazing that so often happens on this board with the noobs. We Sr's need to teach first and punish later IMHO.
Regarding the rest of your report, I agree more than I disagree. Given the circumstances in my adopted hometown using a PM is probably the best way to ask for additional information and I have made my feelings about PM's well known.

Reviewing reviews: Question
I saw a review by someone with only five posts. It was two lines and basically said so-and-so is legit and really great. I did a google search on the image in the linked ad and came up with a TON of duplicate ads with different phone numbers and different names in different places. Should I just let that go or share the info? If I share the info, how much detail is appropriate?

I need to get my post count up.
Ok. So. Where are we? Replies to replies about reviews on reviews? Somebody got a new puppy that urinated on admins shoes?
This is the thread for insulting the admin as long as he types in black digital ink? This is awesome! smiles
