The future of TERB.

[4Times]

I said I did not know..

Little man that is the only true statement that has come out of your big mouth on this whole thread. What a loser. Talk about getting defensive. LOL. I just asked you for a little proof.

Mirage does not pay FF for positive reviews. Nor does DM, Sassys, GOE, Exqusite, RM etc etc etc. There is a shortage of top ladies in this industry and the top ladies are fully booked everyday. FF is only seeing the top ladies. Why would an agency pay FF for a positive review? Makes no sense to me but apparently this busness is commonplace. This all such bullshit I have to laugh. It is like McCarthyism. Foundless accusations. No wonder reviews are plummeting.

It doesn't matter though because FF face is gone and with him the information that you like to call Shilling. Now we have only NoLabel to fill that information gap with. But oh thats right, you don't really contribute much to this board but bullshit. I may be mistaking on this matter though so I'll go through your reviewing history and see what you bring to the table other than toxin.

You want to accuse people of shilling, just back it up otherwise you have no credibilty bitch. Just bring the proof and I'll apologize. You are the only Dork I can see around here Noloser.

Wow, the white knights are out in full effect. What a surprise.

FunnyFace is a big boy, he can stand by his posts and reviews without the chorus if he chooses to. By jumping to his aid, you really are just verifying all of the theories and complaints. By stooping to nolabel's level of name-calling, you've let him and his type win.

Just my opinion - let it go, boys.

I hear you Cap. I just want the proof that he took a discount and I'll shut my yap. Don't understand how i am verifying bullshit but if you say so.

Verifying the "frat boy"/team posting mentality and white knight syndrome.

I don't care one way or another, just pointed out something I found semi-ironic.

I believe you have just pointed out "The Future of Terb".

Because it is?

If by frat boy/team it is meant that there is a group of close friends that have hung out on TERB for the past year enjoying interacting with each other and commenting on each others reviews I say guilty as charged. Speaking for myself, I have been on most everybody on this boards reviews thanking them for taking the time to write it and share the info. Including yours Clloway. So my question is please define the frat that you are speaking of.

Give it up 4X who cares. You are going to get different points of views that will mean the same.

 

[4Times]

OK. OK. PM's are flowing. I'll take the advice and drop it. Sorry for getting the Irish up. Apologize NoLabel if I disparaged you. I know you contribute. 4x

 

[NewYorkSamurai]

Terb is still best reviews for Toronto. Other review board give you know clue.

The drama over FF's posts did clarify one thing for those who read those threads, which was that his posts probably contained a mix of accuracy and embellishment

how does one come to this conclusion? this assertion seems to be completely unsubstantiated, and represents nolabels probably (to use his word) incorrect subjective interpretation based on 'his' own biases? . . . perhaps im wrong, you seem to have a much better grasp of the all the issues.

To which conclusion do you refer? The accuracy part or the embellishment part? By your tone I am presuming you mean to say the embellishment part is 'unsubstantiated'. Gee, dude, read FF's frakkin' posts. Are you really saying there's no embellishment? Or maybe you just don't know its meaning (adding a bit of fiction to some facts). But wait, your criticism of me actually states that NEITHER the claim of accuracy or embellishment is 'substantiated'. At least I said FF's posts contained accuracy, whereas you claim that is unsubstantiated. With friends like you, FF should stick with me! So here I respectfully suggest you have it wrong, and I truly apologize for having a brain capable of tackling a variety of issues.

 

[nolabel]

Nolabel I have always valued your input here but calling Dorks and clowns to 2 members that were respectful in replying to your comment is uncalled for. You did make a statement about FF that was not factual even though you gave a second case scenario afterwards.

Dork and clown are, if you ask me, pretty jovial terms that I would not use if I really wanted to be disrespectful. I thought I was soft-pedalling my disagreement! Oops. Honestly, I wasn't aiming anything harsh at either 4x or Gddlover. But look, this seems an over-reaction. I specifically said there was both accuracy and embellishment in FF's posts, and this comment was made in the context of saying that commenting on people's reviews allows for clarification.

Dude, did you not eat your wheaties this morning? Where did all the hate spring from? I think Moviefan said it best, when he noted there was a thread that discussed the situation where the balance between embellishment and accuracy was out of kilter for some reviewers, and that many were concerned by what appeared to be some reviewers using their terb handles in sessions (a kick back, where some service upgrade is implicitly sought by suggesting a good review is coming). You might note that is why I used the term kickback rather than shill, because the two are different, so I do not need to supply evidence of FF shilling because I did not make that charge (I explicitly suggested in that earlier thread that shilling did not seem applicable in the case of FF; go check). Lest it go unsaid, kickbacks are alot more sublte than shills, for instance they could have their origins in insecurity just as much as manipulation. Again, though, Moviefan's post sums up my view on that earlier thread.

Wow, the white knights are out in full effect. What a surprise . . . By stooping to nolabel's level of name-calling, you've let him and his type win.

Yeah, they are, but again, clown and dork are pretty jovial, unless you are being unreasonably sensitive.

there is only one conclusion you posited. that his reviews contain a "mix of accuracy AND embellishment."
i didnt feel i criticized you, rather, i asked for the line of reasoning that led to you making that statement.
But seriously dont worry about it, it doesnt really matter to me either way.

you will or will not use FF reviews as it best suits your needs, as will I.

i shall leave my brain to contemplate more elementary tasks

I could have read to the bottom of the thread and seen this one, but oh well.

Maybe 4x went and checked my reviewing history, with his side-arm drawn at the time of course, ready to shoot me for . . . hell, who knows what manner of offence. I think you will find my reviews thank previous reviewers of the girl for helping me not have a disaster (by providing useful info to help me select), that they try hard to get across accurate info, and that I also explicitly separate 'the basics' from 'philosophizing' (my more subjective experience of the time).

. . . and, no, 4x, no disparagement. What was it, just a little man bullshitter with nothing to contribute, right?!

Well, calling something an ubstantiated piece of bias is kind of a criticism in most places! As for FF's reviews, I've said there's some accurate stuff in them several times, so why wouldn't I view them if seeing a girl he has reviewed? Sheez, the FF white knights are a zealous lot.

But like you I'm willing to not give a fig about some pedantic point of difference, because clearly we share other common interests of a more respectable kind (such as a mutual admiration for the lovely lass in your signature pic).

fair enough, your first point i agree with. in case you are referring to me specifically, i assure you i am not a knight of any sort, nor am i zealous about this particular topic.
but my sig pic is another matter altogether....

I guess you two clowns cannot decipher a conditional when it's staring you in the face? 'One explanation for that is' . . . 'Another could be' . . . I said I did not know.

Give me a break.

It is obvious that "No Label" has lost his grasp of logic and clear reasoning. One explanation for this is that he has reached the late stages of Syphilis where mental breakdown is one of the symptoms. Another could be that he's just mistaken. I don't know which it is so you all decide which you want to believe.

Hmmmmm, let's see. In logic, a conditional is not an argument. That means it does not actually assert the premises that would be needed to support a conclusion. So when I offer a number of explanations for something, and I couch them as hypotheses (coud be, etc), and I say I do not know which is the case, well it's not actually arguing for any conclusion. Thus, you're definitely mistaken in claiming logic or reason deserted me, though of course it remains possible that I have advanced syphilis because I am inclined to give you a break (as requested).
