Translation: you have no way to back up your assertion. In other words, it's the old political trick (which we see pulled out every election season) tha tis meant to quickly shut down any reporter who starts to raise an eyebrow and ask questions that a politician doesn't want to answer or doesn't want to be put on the spot about -- and thus he wants to avoid the question at all costs since the real answer would be quite revealing. So, it's the old political dodge of someone getting up in front of a microphone and saying something and therefore it MUST be trust...and no one should dare question it...because, after all, the person SAID it. And isn't that enough?

Gee, now that's an interesting response to the whole "doctor" debate.
In fact, why don't we talk about that?
Instead of addressing the actual points or argument presented to you, instead you go crying to the moderators because -- once again -- someone DARED to question your core assertions or DARED to voice an opposing viewpoint. Which frankly is what good, stimulating, intellectual discourse on a message board is about.
In fact, that's the very reason for HAVING a message board where people can interact. For example, let's take this out of the realm of a sex site. Let's say this was the message board for a web site dedicated to talking about the movies -- where (just like this place) using their own private IDs --- you'd have actors or directors or technical members of the crew stopping by to post and share their thoughts on movies that were out, that they worked on, that were made by people they know in the industry. So, on the message board, you'd have actual movie people mingling with the fans and the general movie-going public.
So, basically going by your line of thinking, no one should EVER say something bad about a movie they saw. No one should EVER voice a critical viewpoint. After all, it's a movie site, right? And if real Hollywood people are stopping by, then offering up criticisms or saying "Gee, I really didn't think your movie was very good" should be forbidden. All because YOUR viewpoint, Melissa, would be to stomp your feet and say -- literally in a perfect parallel to what you said above -- "I would ask the moderators to admonish any member who assails or denigrates the work of an actor, director, writer, or technical crew member. It is antithetical to the spirit of this site, where most of the people who are admired and discussed here are some or all of the above."
However, what I find really fascinating and laughable...and two can play at this game on call on the Moderators...is the double standard game you love to play, Melissa. You want to run and cry to the moderators for support when someone voices an opinion you don't like or dares to challenge you...you want to make a plea like you did above saying "it's antithetical to the spirit of this site" to "denigrate a escort, model, sex worker or adult actress"...
...And yet if we're going to talk about ACTUAL denigration which is antithetical to the "spirit of this site", here's something I'm curious about.
All across these message boards you perpetually pick on someone like SmolderingTemptress. Why? Simply because she often voices a different opinion from you. You repeatedly mock her simply because she won't post her picture (all because Smoldering simply wants her privacy protected). And yet I find it utterly amazing that the very SAME person who is now calling on the moderators to "admonish" anyone who "denigrates" someone (translation: you want a wall of protection because of your occupation, and you want free reign to say whatever YOU want while others are held in check)...
...Is also the SAME person who
in this very same thread has called Smoldering "an anonymous piece of shit"... then called her "mister" (which is certainly an insult to a fellow TS)...and THEN just to top it off you wrote about Smoldering (and I quote):
And still you contend to be a TS, one of "us". I see you have a cartoon image now for your avatar. LOL what a fucking twit. People, this is a man. A man who deep down inside wants to be TS but doesn't have the guts. A man who hides behind his computer espousing the virtues of a saint yet can't even put up a picture of his face. Why would you give this loser an ounce of credibility?
Me, I like speaking up.
Why? Because double standards should never be tolerated.
So I call bullshit on your double-standard of "denigration" and things that are "antithetical to the spirit of the site."
