Of course a smart provider will post carefully to avoid offending clients and damaging her reputation. That's just good business. But that doesn't make us liars or mean that you need to question
everything we say. In my case I often follow that old rule: "if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all." Personally I have met some amazing friends through merb, and I really like this community. It would be nice to feel a little more included here. After all, we are all in this business together.
As to the first part, as far as I understand the initial complain and to be honest I still am not sure what buddy is on about, he seems to object that an agency might muzzle an escort. sadly not all providers are well... let us use the term business savy as opposed to smart. If I were an agency owner and a girl was to post as Kate@wasisname agency... I'd rather not take the chance.
When Indies blow up and they tend to be the "smarter" and more dedicated ones I wouldn't want a girl linked to my agency blowing up.
When you are dealing with a wide range of people, good business does mean lying. At the very least it can mean telling someone to have a nice day when you really wish they would get run over by a car. I am sure we all have stories of escorts telling us about this weirdo or that weirdo, not all of them do but some do. I am sure most of them would never say anything to that person's face. Aside from being bad business it would also be needlessly cruel. But.... Hey would you mind dressing me up as Shirly Temple and spanking me with a Hockey stick? "why sure sounds fun can mean anything from "sure sounds fun" to "at least I can get paid and not get pawed on or jackhammered"
We don't know.
Also considering this business compared to most requries deception via acting ability a wise hobbiest should be very careful regarding assuming truthfullness of many statements made... unless he wants to go broke because a certain girl loves him. Not all will take advantage but there are enough stories of woe out there. If you say that you think it is a good thing Japan is raising it's Sales Tax, I don't think anyone will disbeave you. If you say that you love to have sex with some guy who is 500 pounds and has lots of loose skin because he used to be 800.... it might be true, it would be very hurtful to say otherwise but sone would be wise to question that.
That being said your comment regarding meeting amazing friends and really likeing this community... for some reason I am inclined to believe them. They pass the so called stink test. I don't really know why because I don't know you but it seems legit. However if someone didn't believe it I could not blame them.
Also on a very vaguely related note. It is a real skill to post often and make it come across as you are part of a comunity as opposed to posting often and coming across as someone who is just trying to drum up business and getting around the ad posting limit. I can't name anyone on Merb who does it but there are some providers on terb whose vast posting comes across as legitimate and some who come across as fake and more like drumming up business. Even worse perception and reality can be two different things. A self shiller can have the skills to hide it and an honest partitipant can come across like she is selling.
However we live in a world were every celeb is told to set up and start posting from a twitter account. The hottest chick in the world keeps asking questions of fans on facebook except she had admitted she doesn't actualy read comments and there are signs that her site, her partner's site and their band site are all run by a third party for marketing purposes. Sadly you see fans just jump at the bait. Odd thing, I do believe she is a really sweet person but business is business.
There is a lot of bovine fecal matter in business.
