A different slant on references

You want to meet a Bad provider, Meet me for a drink, And I will show the the war zone. Where a few good providers came up from the ashes and will not go back. Here on ECCIE is almost risk free.

You misunderstand. I am not saying anything about good or bad providers in Rochester....

Actually, I have yet to see a Rochester provider, from this board!

Now, Syracuse, that's another story.....for another time......stories about another war zone.......

BUT...what I am referring to is the fact that Nikki stated (in the other thread) that other providers were bashing her (as well as some hobbyists)...and by extension, they seem to be succeeding in trying to get her to limit contact with potential hobbyists........and THOSE were the ones I referred to.....that they can't stand on their own merits.

I don't care what business you are in....if your product does not meet the standard, a bad salesperson typically resorts to bashing the other product (or person).

Hey....just take a look at our illustrious Governors race......two nutcases who could give a rats ass about the mess the people of NY have to endure....but they'll spend millions raking each other through the mud....because their "product" sucks.......

I refer back again to the people (male and female) who are chasing away those very QUALITY providers from participating with us.......and, OSD, really, do you want those quality ladies gone? I don't.

I had just started some banter with China when she pulled the plug on participation, and I'll tell you she is a charmer, who I wish I could chat more with!!! And Nikki has been kind enough to PM me when I made a point or two, and that was great!

Pisses me off royally, when I see top shelf people have to start hiding because of some of the high school drama that runs rampant around here sometimes.

Sorry about the rant......

There is only lady, that when a gent gives me her as a reference, I tell the gent I will not waste my time sending her an email, call whatever because she NEVER responds. You can email her 500 times or 1 time, and you get nothing! I always have a back up plan for this. Any good, professional provider will always have a plan B just in case. But I can't stress enough that date-check and p411 are always great tools to have in your back pocket. This way you don't have to have someone "cock blocking" you. In the end, like how Hanna stated, once a gent found out that a provider was giving you neg/untrue feedback, that should be when you end your frequent visits. All of us providers know and realize that a gent doesn't just see us and us only. They seek out different providers for different reasons. Therefore, we should all be adults, respect that and put the safety of others first.

For some one giving a bad reference I have had it happen before because of writing something negitive about the provider. Trying to fix it was a bitch, I had to just work through it with the new provider and explain what happen

I think P411 and Date Check are good ways to get around this type of problem but unfortunately, it is another monetary expense.

Sorry about the rant..

Syracuse does need more good providers, that looks to be true.

As to why a provider would stop posting. Some can not take the BS as well as others. I have been asked to stay and chat after my time was done by a few, as they get ready for the next. Been a driver for a few not on this board. You would not believe the amount of BS. I will not give names of the providers(or gents). But if you want to hear some things that would make one ashame to be a men, PM me.

If one provider is blocking you, see below
