"To make the fantastic leap that that is how she behaves ordinarily, and to rip her a new one as a consequence? That's a logical fallacy or red herring. I cannot do that based on the meagre evidence, and it's unreasonable to attempt to tarnish her reputation based on that single observation.
As regards the mudslinging; so what. People react in anger. I'm sure you've got a thick skin. She probably naively shared an experience and it backfired, unless you're privy to additional information I'm not."
I could go through her posts on this thread, and show you the pattern of increasing petulance and insults, along with her self-absorption and slow-mindedness, but it would take up lots of space and time.
Let's look at her previous contributions to the forum, though. In response to a thread about who would you punt with if only you knew the world was coming to an end, a reliable regular or someone new, she responded,
" Id punt for myself based purely on self-PRESERVATION...
Lol"
Aside from the self-absorption, it's damned confused. Maybe you can explain it to me...
And then there was that thread she started herself:
" Right... moving into a new age usually sparks new thinking? So for all you hip replaced archeology relics, I dare you to post.....??? Where to from here.......And I can bet you Eddie that not one person will reply to this post. In that event I want a months free advertising.
Done deal???
xxxx "
I've removed a whole lot of nonsensical spacing as well. "Hip replaced archelogy relics"? Sounds about like her ageist insults directed at VF. And for those who read it like me who responded to try and keep it light, she didn't deign to follow up her own post. Short attention span? And again, what did it actually mean, anyway?
So, if I have formed an impression about her, I don't think it is on meager evidence. She comes across consistently as confused, self-absorbed and mean-spirited. I would rather not spend an hour in the company of someone like that, thank you.
As to reacting in anger, that is the whole point of why many were disturbed by her post: it meant that if you angered her, your personal details were at risk of being posted. It is no red herring to draw a conclusion based on that.
And as to your little insult, let's just say it reveals both a weakness in your argument, and an insight into your personal fears.

We're all human guys... we all make mistakes (specially me)... please let it go... she removed herself from this thread... sometimes we act to quick... out of anger, without thinking twice or about the consequences... look what happened to my post... it turned out to be THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW in SA... we learn, we grow, and we move on.
@Wildweasel... I agree. People are so quick to judge... if there's one lady that learned the hard way, it's me. Sometimes I have to bite on my tongue to keep myself intact and not to flip again. It takes up all of my fucking energy to keep quiet... it's not easy being human.
My point is, this was such a 'vanilla' issue in terms of all the other horror stories that were reported and hardly constituted the kind of angry malice intended by her posting this on a public forum by her own admission of feeling pity for the guy!
It boggles the mind really!

What baffles me is that this is not even a blip compared to what's been posted on the girls forum. There are things I've read on there that have made me cry or made me extremely angry. But all of those ladies preserved the information for the girls forum and understand the relevance of sharing only amongst the ladies. She said herself she didn't know whether to laugh or cry in pity....pity for who? The punter in question? She then went on to say she was being a hero (perhaps saving lives) by making the girls aware of this guy that she actually felt she might cry in pity for? Huh? So feeling pity for someone constitutes having his details splashed on a public forum and possibly humiliated? He was at fault obviously for booking her and not bringing her payment with, of coarse, but not asking for cash upfront is a common issue in most of the problems reported. She's not new to the industry and should know this.

Ah..... perspective.
Miss V hun.. totally agree about posting issues as this on the ladies forum.

OralJim, you can suggest what you like. I think you are crushingly small minded. You know for a fact because of three WhatsApp messages? Ha ha ha. Let's hope your doctor doesn't use the same logic when he examines your prostate.
It is impossible to convince someone whose mind is made up. First, you say I have no way of knowing what others think and that it is just my opinion. Then I tell you what others think but the number is not enough. The only assertion I made was that I was not the only punter to feel this way. If even 1 other punter agrees with me, even just ONE, then my point was valid. Aside from the three whatsapps I got, Garg_g also agreed with me, so even if you dispute the whatsapps, there is, in this thread, proof of my statement - that I am not the only one to feel as I do.
As for a doctor giving me a prostate exam - if you think yourself such an intellectual and that you are so smart, go and look up the term "false equivalency". You are such an idiot. Absolutely nothing you have posted on this thread has had any merit whatsoever. You bore me.
