Dear RB,

You've recently been posting comments critical of punters on Disney's profile. I find this very questionable ethically for the following reasons:

It is firstly questionable to be raising your own profile by commenting on a competitor's paid profile. You start off by saying you are "sorry" to be posting on her profile, but I doubt you asked her permission. You could have called her, WhatsApp'ed her, or DMed her to raise your concerns with her and ask her permission to respond. I sent her a WhatsApp to let her know punters were complaining about her non-responsiveness to their attempts to book, and she has been online in the meantime and chosen not to respond, nor did she respond to me personally. She did respond to the issue of her language skills previously, so perhaps you should have given her the agency to decide for herself whether or not to respond. Maybe she made a conscious decision not to respond, and you have actually undermined that decision!

You also are somewhat hypocritical in posting on her profile your objections to what some were posting under her review comments. You complained that their comments belonged in the general discussion forum, which is, by your own admonition to them not to pollute her profile, where your comments also belonged. If you were concerned that the punters who offended you might not read what you posted in the general discussion forum, you could have sent them DMs.

Finally, you complained that the comments made could hurt her business, yet you have not stopped to think that your own comments could do so as well: perhaps she preferred to not respond, and your own aggressive responses ("shame on ALL of YOU", "POLLUTING her profile", "It would be awesome if the "punters" were held to the same rules as the Advertisers when it comes to comments and posts and have their comments removed if NOT relevant and applicable to the forum category posted on" could also hurt her business. There has been, in my view, an increasing tendency on your part to express views that are denigrating towards punters, and the advertiser in question might not want to be associated, even indirectly, with the 'brand' you have created here.

I have observed, over the years, that when posters on various social media are aware, at least at a subconscious level, that what they are posting is in some way 'wrong', they often make spelling or grammatical errors, subconsciously advertising that the poster is, at best, conflicted about what they are writing. Reread your last paragraph; is this really your usual standard of writing? And signing "Written in good faith"??? To me, that screams the opposite, much as the phrase "to tell you the truth" does.

Thank you for your open letter.

And.

Ps.


It is all in the "fine print " isn't it....

It is in fact quite common for RB to be critical of other service providers. I noted a comment from her last week on the forum where she criticized ladies who have a ROAR policy and openly called them racist. (Go review your comments RB and you will see what I am referring to). I understand you are playing to your target market and singing for your supper but do so in a respectful manner by not putting other service providers down in order to raise your own profile on ESA. I'm not interested in getting into a mud slinging match with you but to call other service providers racist because of their personal preferences is quite disgusting to say the least.

Trying to puts words in my mouth, won't work.

As to calling ANYBODY RACIST and should they be offended should I have, then I think it is between me and them , don't you think.


But. I get a feeling the ladies are intellectually above taking things personally and more grown up and emotionally mature than some punters are proving to be....and ALL MY COMMENTS ON THE ETHNICITY THREAD i stand behind 100%.

And...maybe you should think of taking extra lessons when it comes to reading and analysis without spinning a yarn longer than a fairy tale with a bad witch and the good princess who lived happily ever after .

So .

Boxer101.

What is your aim with your post apart from tryna rile and make me the bad bad SP among all my peers?

What is scratching you the wrong way?

Truth?

RB.

Are you a racist?

RB please play the ball and not the man. You are trying to deflect attention away from the fact that you openly criticize service providers with a ROAR policy by calling them racist. Put it this way, if a woman prefers dealing with another woman at a lingerie boutique does it make her sexist towards men or is that her personal preference? RB you have far too many derogatory comments towards service providers in the same profession as yourself, you come across as having an inferiority complex. Please don't, you are a beautiful woman, perhaps just be a little more understanding about other ladies personal preferences. ESA provides us all a platform to post our comments and opinions but surely they expect us to be respectful towards each other, perhaps even more so the service providers. Ps. Please read below:

The #1 policy of the ESA Forum can be summarised in one word: Respect.
