This White Knightism nonsense is complete bullshit. First off I never met KIM and she has not been on my radar nor will she be because she is not my type. So how am I sucking up to anyone? What a bunch of moronic bullshit. I have never even met KIM socially.
Second, the SP chooses the method of communication. Once email has been established as the method of communication and Bat-Man gave Kim his email address there was some responsibility on his part to communicate its limits. Maybe Bat-Man should have a laptop or a Blackberry if he can see a $250 escort. He has the money to spend on KIM but it's okay that he does not have the money to spend on a basic tool of hobbying, especially HDH/indy hobbying that costs the same price? What kind of half assed nonsense analysis is that?
In this case maybe KIM could have called, maybe not, sounds like she did not have a room number, and it was a case of miscommunication, but one that may have been cured if Bat-Man had prepared by equipping himself with HDH technology to go along with his HDH escorting activities. If he had a laptop or had even texted from a Blackberry, he could have emailed his room number to Kim.
All hobbyists, not just Bat-Man, should be encouraged to have technologically adapted themselves to modern society. We certainly expect the same of SPs and should expect the same of ourselves. If Bat-Man prefers to live in a cave and flirt with neanderthalism and knuckle draggers he should only take the Bat-mobile out to hobby on Ontario Street where he will find SPs who have similar, slowly evolved technological skills.
I totally agree with you. It is a bunch of BULLSHIT. You analyze a situation, chose a side & state your opinion, and then the idiots immediately throw out the 'white knight' comment. The bottom line is "who gives a flying fuck if someone is a white knight or not?" What's so wrong with being a "white knight" anyways? It's been my experience in life that people constantly passing accusations at others & referring to them as "white knights" have no balls & have serious personal issues, which has a lot to do why they only women they've been able to take to bed in their lifetime are women they've had to pay to have sex with them. These people usually have zero confidence & zero social skills, yet are the bravest when hiding behind in front of a keyboard & freely pass judgement on others who don't see eye-to-eye with them.
I totally agree with you, Beave.....and i for one vouch that you've likely never met Kim in person & i'm 100% certain that your intent wasn't to kiss her ass or anyone else's.
LOL,
You can remove the labels and your are still trying to lay the bulk of the blame on a the client here. K.I.M has said she made mistakes by failing to provide the critical information on time. She said that was her "fault" by not calling when she said she would, and yet still all you can say is "maybe K.I.M could have called" only grudging admitting it's possible she made a mistake when she says she did. The lady is being honest and all some member can do is try to say she MIGHT have had a responsibility she accepts. Why are you trying to whitewash her when she accepts the fault. You don't like the label White Knight while you're proving it. And seeing a lady or not is unnecessary when the description and action fits perfectly.
This was a 50/50 episode of responsibility mistakes, not mostly or the majority on either party. Yet the choice of laying the bulk of the blame on one side has been largely because of the assertion the client did not have a laptop or a Blackberry or whatever. Geeeeez, you can smell the tech snobbery right through the computer. This reminds me of the kind of people who are so addicted to tech overkill they can't put down their Blackberrys or cells long enough to take a decent shit, go on with the kind of class it takes to share a long loud intense argument on what kind of milk or socks they should buy, and are so obsessed with having their Blackberrys stuck in their ear they can't be bothered to wash their stinking hands. Claiming the client should have had this or that technology or else he's a caveman is nothing more than an irrelevant cheap dodge for the fact she didn't call and he didn't get conformation.
If the client in this case had had a laptop or a Blackberry he would only have had the
opportunity to straighten out the mistakes by both parties, and that would have been likely. But how many endless times have I heard so many others say he or she knows this is important and is expecting my call/message and I can't reach him/her by this state of the art tech whether it's a Blackberry or a laptop because the other person isn't responding or there is a connectivity problem that can happen absolutely anywhere. We have read about these very issues of the failure to respond or tech failure on this board many times despite any technology you can imagine and the resulting failure to complete the meeting. So what garbage it is to act like tech is a panacea that guarantees the elimination of miscommunications or mistakes. Personally, I love having all kinds of tech devices. They make many things far more accessible and convenient. But they guarantee nothing and acting like they do is nonsense. I have never had a laptop when traveling to an incall or needed a cell phone and the escort of the moment and I have never failed to complete a meeting in a situation like the subject of this thread.
All you guys have conjured up is an excuse to lay the burden of mistakes on one side. If this had been handled right and each party kept their word and used good sense this episode does not happen...barring some third party interference or sudden new circumstance. All I am trying to say about the responsibility for the errors here is that they are equal. I am not taking sides and to say so is arrogant BS!!!
As for hiding behind a keyboard and making accusations, thanks for the perfect examples. Look at the crap and the name calling. Caveman, Neanderthal, no balls, serious personal issues, moronic bullshit...and yet these truly self-aware members
dare to say "the bravest when hiding behind in front of a keyboard & freely pass judgement on others who don't see eye-to-eye with them." What an accurate self-description by both. Hypocrisy be thy name. If you loath the tactic you describe so much then why become the same?????????? And, as a self-described "hopeless fornicator" (with so many SPs) one should rethink the line "
which has a lot to do why they only women they've been able to take to bed in their lifetime are women they've had to pay to have sex with them." Not saying you haven't been the top Don Juan on the planet at other times
, but look at your amount of hobbying you've admitted...and money spent. KA-CHING!
Cheers,
