I'm not as active as I used to be under my old alias, but one thing I can't help but notice is how some service providers mistake their ego for having a strong personality.

Some forum posts are quite telling because they end up hijacking topics created by punters and other service providers and divert the attention to themselves and derail the conversation
and/or discussion.

I understand that some have a view that any publicity is good publicity and it also doesn't help because there are punters out there who also prop up this behaviour by enabling it with the hope to secure their "favourites" spot, alternatively secure bookings, but where's the common decency.

I've also seen a few reviews lately where the service provider will try discredit a punters experience by giving the public an impression that the punter received sub-par service because he requested bareback or a service that she found demeaning and inhumane. I'm not discounting that there are punters who stoop that low, but I can't help but wonder what drives some service providers to manufacture certain lies to try and paint punters with a bad brush because their service didn't meet their standard - I can only think that it's the ego that comes into play again.

Don't get me started on ego mixed with drug and alcohol abuse. There's a recent thread on here that I can only assume was created by a disgruntled WG and the targeted attack against another service provider was downright distasteful.

Some may say that the above is the nature of ESA because of the different personalities, but at times it baffles me why we as humans let our egos get in our way.

Anyway, here's to hoping there's less ego and more pleasure.
