My ATF SP is getting upset with me. She is complaining I am getting my Kindergarten Class fetish supplied here in this thread instead of with her. She says as a resultshe may have to raise her prices with me for regular vanilla sessions. Does that constitute a price descrimination :ambivalence:

It IS a very simple question and could easily have been answered with a yes/no and perhaps included a simple explanation. Notice most of my responses have been trying to "police" the thread in some way shape or form. That's because people seem to divert.

If I ask a question "Do you like eating vegetables?" it's clear a simple response is all that's needed. If people start arguing about the definition of vegetable, does drinking count, they eat food in general, etc., doesn't really answer the question.

How many responses are about discounts or added services? Quite a few. I've simply made it clear many times that discounts, charging more for requested services, etc. don't count but still people will provide examples that don't fit. How many responses talk about the use of "discrimination" and then implied something nefarious? A bunch. That's why this thread is as lengthy as it is.

Again, I asked a question. Sorry I don't control the responses, what people decide to write, what they think, etc.

You say no answer is good enough. That's incorrect. Answers can be good enough but many aren't. Why? Because they either don't answer the question or answer it improperly. If I ask you what you did on Wednesday, and you describe Thursday's activities, I'm going to point out I asked for Wednesday. If you respond "stuff" I'm going to ask for more info. If you provide any other response that has nothing to do with the question asked, it's going to sidetrack things (not that I care). The other thing is I except solid answers. An answer that provides appropriate info, logically makes sense, and has a strong supporting argument/evidence is acceptable. Ton of responses where people just write stuff that doesn't make sense then expect people to accept it.

I'm not playing coy. People read into things, and some people take things too personally. I've posted a few threads where the responses were short and informative. Thread was 5 posts long. Everybody has their part in these little kerfuffle's so if you're going to point a finger at me, look in the mirror as well.



Really?
More of the same. He never accepts any replies without a rebuttal, just as I previously said. Thanks for proving my point. This is how threads get extended. Everybody hates your posts. TROLL

Thread has gone sideways and is becoming pointless. Maybe time to lock this one mods?

If only you could point out somewhere in this thread where I criticized a practice. I never said price discrimination was wrong or bad. So you're wrong as usual.
Using the words "discriminate", "price" and "SP's" in the same 5 word sentence. Just asking the question is wrong and stupid. But of course, you don't get it, as always.

I know of your disdain for me and I am sorry for quoting you but you hit the nail on the head
My disdain came from your implication that he and I were one in the same or at least were in cahoots with each other.

Considering the feelings I just expensed on the matter, I think you could see how that is something I would consider an offensive opinion. The other stuff was just conflicting views.

However, if you are now reconsidering this is and believe it is not the case as well as being apologetic for the misunderstanding, I am happy to move on.

I am not completely impossible to work with even if I am a strong stubborn headed woman. ;)

Nothing wrong with being a strong minded and stubborn woman. I did apologize previously for the comment I made and I do so again. I am sorry. It is too bad that the mods allow his type of posting behavior to continue. Like you alluded to, it makes this forum a less attractive place to be. No one, especially a woman in the business, should be lectured on how to run their business by someone who is here for his own gratification. Many like to hear themselves talk but he has taken it to a whole new, and totally obnoxious and annoying, level.

What does all information do? Gives a person knowledge. As I said in the first post, just curious. That's all it ever was for me. Clearly it was more than that for others.

Considering the two people you have quoted spend their days trolling threads and as soon as they find a comment from me, they write some BS (might be an argument just to say I'm wrong, an insult, etc.), you aren't making the best case.

I don't care if people have a chip on their shoulder or a stick up their butt or whatever. I asked a simple question. I didn't point fingers, I've never said anything was right or wrong but the usual boobs take offense for even asking a question and others get offended like I'm calling them out. If there's somewhere in this thread where I say price discrimination sucks, SP's who do it suck, and if an SP does it to me she can go fly a kite, then I expect people to get riled up. Bunch of skeptics and cynics who see my name and automatically try and discredit me, insult me, etc. Honestly if I had a certain personality, I would sit back, do my thing, and watch the show. But while some people assume I love the drama, I don't. Love a spirited debate, but most of the shit that goes on is not that. Just people with chips on their shoulders getting petty and personal.

Please enlighten me - where have I condemned anyone?
Information is data you read, see or hear. Information is useless without application. Knowledge is applying that information. You can read a set of encyclopedias and fill your head with lots of information, but not be knowledgeable about anything. How does confirming that price discrimination goes on useful to anyone? Do you get any more enjoyment with a girl knowing that she does or does not practice price discrimination?

You might think you asked a simple question, but it's actually an open-ended and personal one. Maybe you don't know this, but asking someone about their salary is impolite. Would you ask a co-worker what they make and explain why they are making it? The answer is very simple: none of our business. If it's impolite to ask a co-worker about their salary, it's the same with escorts.

Your question was answered by several ladies on the first page of this thread. Catherine even explained it in greater detail. Wasn't that one of your objectives: to get a lady to admit they practice some form of discrimination? Even though you got a definite answer it still was not quite good enough for you.

Since you feel that people answer your questions "improperly", what would be the "proper" way? Do we need to use the MLA format and submit our responses to an anti-plagiarism service? Should the mods put a sticky in the Lounge section to tell people how to respond "properly" to your posts?

Further, what exactly is wrong with people answering questions "improperly?" This is a public forum after all.

A brief summary of responses

Juno Grey - said one can avoid price discrimination by only seeing girls with rates
Sweetiepie - said she charges new customers more than regulars. That's means she gives regulars a discount
IRIS - talked about some client staying longer and she doesn't give discounts
Catherine - talked about how she charges clients based on their requests but implied charging some guys more

So, the first three didn't really answer the question and the last implied something but was unclear. I asked for details and reiterated that it's not discrimination to charge more for additional services/requests. She then wanted to debate/argue that she does price discriminate but refuses to believe that's what it is, even though it is clearly price discrimination according to the definition. Again, I never judged, never said it's wrong, but people enjoy trying to prove otherwise.

But I guess in your world, I should have accepted all 4 answers and be done with it. No point in asking for more info or clarifying the question or anything else to get an response that answers the question?

But, as someone asked earlier: to what end do you seek an answer, and how is such knowledge a benefit to you, or anyone else, for that matter?

They all answered your question, just not in the "proper" format you were expecting. Do you even know what that "proper" format would be? These girls are talking about their experience. You are talking about a definition you found online. How much more clarification do you need when someone speaks from their experience?

We will never understand these girl's perspective unless we become escorts. Maybe that's why you want to know? You can ask to clarify all you like, but you will never understand. Why keep asking about a topic that you are never going to understand and has zero impact to your everyday or hobbying life? You're never going get enough answers to make an informed conclusion. Hypothetically, let's say you manage to get a handful of responses that answers this issue to your satisfaction. How much weight does that hold compared to the countless girls that work in the industry past and present?

You wanted a debate and that's exactly what you got. Now you suddenly don't like what other people say? There's no Terb rule book that tells us how to respond to these posts. I guess you didn't want a debate after all.

If I ask what's your favorite apple and you respond with oranges, pears, vanilla pudding, it's not an answer to the question, even though the first two are fruits and the last is a food you like. They are all nice things but a "proper" answer actually talks about apples, nothing more, nothing less. Even a response of apple pie doesn't answer the question properly. And a definition I found online? Why, because I quoted Investopedia somewhere in the thread because OTHERS don't know what price discrimination is and I needed to explain it? Some people didn't know, others thought it was to do with racism, some said they did but they don't, and some said the don't but they do. That's why I provided a textbook definition because me defining it myself leads to a bunch of comments about me having no idea what it is. So better to just get it from somewhere.

Something to talk about with an escort or at a Terb party?
If there is a party , whisper, there will for sure be a game of pin the tail on the "jackass". Look above, perfect candidate.

The more you post (which is really, the more you constantly challenge others) the more you cement your reputation. By rebutting, you think you are scoring points. But trust me, you are losing the battle.

I have been here quite some time (I need to get a life) and in my experience, you are the type of guy that gets banned for unduly creating turmoil here. I will give you credit for not being crude or insulting, but boy, are you ever irritating! For your benefit, give it a rest.

Yes but he has been accused of harassment , especially against paid advertisers. To me that is far worse than being crude or insulting.

Interesting how you like pointing out when other people throw threads off track yet use a food example here of all things. Are you not capable of expressing yourself in the context of the thread that you started?

Who are you to say what is a "proper" or "improper" response to a question? Since when are you the Terb fact checker? What you still fail to realize is a definition is a bunch of words. Personal experience gives you an understanding of things that even the best definition cannot. You will never really know what discrimination is until you experience it for yourself.

You still haven't answered how knowing that price discrimination goes on or its definition has any benefit to the industry, you or anyone else. It's great that you know to use Google, but the truth is there is no benefit at all to this question or discussion.

That party is too complicated for him. He'd need to have these questions answered:

Has the pin been properly sterilized?
Have the guests gone through a health check to make sure they aren't carrying blood-born diseases?
Are the paramedics on standby in case someone gets injured?
