Respect a simple yet lost concept

Beyond that....eh...I got nothing. I just can't muster the enthusiasm for yet another argument about respect and/or politeness.

Hmmm, speaking of that, should the Vixen and I be getting a check every time some gentleman sings, "When Irish eyes are smiling?"

You're right, Sisyphus; this is exhausting in its unending spiral. Let's go back to sex. Is saying, "Please ____ me harder with your big ____!" considered a respectfully polite request even with the bad words?

Showing respect - being civil and considerate - should be unrelated to reviews or rates.

I think the song is in the public domain by now...but I suppose it could depend upon what you're doing that makes him wanna sing!

I can't seem to set my hand to my copy of Emily Post...but it sounds acceptable to me! Hell, you can even drop the please & replace it with a look or a touch that says the same thing!

Showing respect should be unrelated to reviews really?

Will let that one go. No comment. Enjoy your day Ansley.

Right! Or you are considered "Judgmental"

Talk away London, your honesty is refreshing!

I will hide you baby...maybe somewhere else though.

Agreed. Reviews are made regarding performance. Rates are strictly the lady's business self-determination. Showing respect is something given in and outside the hobby.

My point is that I am not going to kiss anyone's azz just to get business when "I don't have to." This is NOT my real life, or it would be a given...this is business and I don't have to do anything for anyone lol. I do so because I choose to, not because certain people feel they deserve it. My straight forward nature has never affected my business, so I don't intend to change it for anyone. Those who don't like it, can take a hike.

I will respect those who are entitled to it...period. I am mature and educated enough to express my opinion without yelling and tossing the "F" bomb, so I think that's enough respect. I don't go around being an azz just to do so...it's usually when someone has asked for it.

That's what's so frustrating, they already have.

In the short run, I am satisfied with the knowledge that I have done everything within my power to promote social harmony. Hopefully, in the long run, my behavior will have positive consequences, but I’ll never know.

I agree when you talk about superficial contacts with strangers and common courtesy. That was not what i meant. I meant a longer contact where you know someone longer and are misguided or misleaded. But concerning the statement about knowing someone not long enough to know better you are right. Although it sometimes even then does not happen. I worked as a bartender, i know. Plenty of customers are rude when you make the slightest mistake. And they are strangers to me and i don`t know them. So its not that simply although i admire you for always being polite to complete strangers.

Could you not speak in riddles please? I have no clue what you are talking about. I am not pimping anyone out, so I can't control what anyone does. I don't run away from people who piss me off....I just don't respond to them. Simple. It is the internet by God...we are not all going to agree.

you rock girl, and what i love about you is how you manage to be even in the most intricate situations calm and i like how you get your point across without being rude or writing superficial hogwash without meaning. I will try to learn from you . You are a good teacher to broaden my skills.

I have - so far - encountered two types of rudes on this board: The ones are the ones who act like me - using strong words and being unpolite . The others are like the one`s who i argue against :-) (lol) they are the ones who write superficial hogwash without meaning and judgemental stuff without explanation. Both is rude.

London has the unique skill to say something meaningful , bring the point across and maintain within the area of civilty. I adore that in a person. You have great communicative skills
