Everyone just take a breath...there's no reason why a review thread needs to get to 5 pages long over...a few pubic hairs.
@Wayne1250 - there is no need for you to "correct" anyone, even if your self-purported intel and knowledge is far superior to anyone else's account. You worry about your own reviews, without needing to offer your unsolicited expertise to any other member, and especially not in someone else's review. You should know better...
Now, it's one thing if someone specifically asks you in your own review of the provider in question, or if a discussion topic happens to center around her, but it's not your place to do it in some other's member review. As @rokinus pointed out, you have a history of doing this numerous times against numerous other members, and not everyone appreciates the perhaps perceived "holier than thou" misconception that it might elicit.
That said, knowing what I know about you, not everyone will realize that you mean well, but again, it can be taken in the wrong context, and come across as condescending or worse. Also, you have a history of coming to the defense of a number of providers that you think highly of, but again, it's not your place to HAVE to comment in every single review of an account that you do not agree with. We're all different people, with different preferences, outlooks, opinions, and connections with a provider (or lack thereof), and there are times when thoughts and opinions will differ from your own. It doesn't anyone right or wrong...it's their subjective opinion.
@rokinus - @Wayne1250 doesn't get special treatment because he's a friend of TJ or the site or whatever else, but I will say that as a long-time veteran member that has contributed quite a bit of intel since the early days of the site, he does get a longer piece of rope...just like any other respected and valuable member of the site. That doesn't mean he gets carte blanche to do or say whatever he wants...he is subject to the same rules of the board as someone who joined recently. In fact, he has been reprimanded a few times over the years for various infractions.
But you should also know that he is truly sincere in his quest to impart his vast knowledge to our community of members, and though he can come across as overzealous at times, he really does mean well. I think he made a mistake when he tried to correct you (or should have taken a much more gentler or different approach than he did), as you should NOT have to defend yourself for posting your review and all that it entails.
Let's turn this into a positive and teaching moment. Instead of the two snarky comments immediately after the review, maybe guys could have asked the OP: "hey, thanks for the review, but when I last saw her, she wasn't shaved and never was...was this something new for her"? Or "are you sure she was fully bare shaved, since numerous other accounts, including my own, report otherwise"?
Saying the same thing, but two different approaches...one of them is combative and somewhat attacking, and the other is more akin to a discussion, and doesn't put @rokinus in a defensive manner and have to justify himself.
On the other hand, the OP could have defused the situation by replying "I thought she was fully shaved, but I was so busy doing other things to her that I might have been mistaken", or something similar, instead of reacting like he did.
In other words, you both fucked up. Not to pile on on Wayne, but as the senior member with much more experience, we expect him to take the lead on a better initial approach, with he failed to do in this case. With the longer rope, also comes greater responsibility.
That was MY gentle approach to this thread...here's another...this fucking thread is annoying the shit out of me, and I can't believe I have to tell a group of fucking grown ass adults how to fucking behave to each other when your average 2nd grader has better fucking manners. Either learn to deal with each other, or stay out of each other's way, or I will hand down suspensions to everyone that was involved in this bullshit.
It'd be so much easier for me personally to go the latter route, but this is a community for all of us, and we're all here for the same time...to have a good time and share stories with each other. Let's not let our pettiness make us lose that focus. Good day, gentlemen.
