What if you saw an SP away from her place? WWYD?

[morementum]

It happened to me a while ago.

I went to see an SP in her apartment and as I was walking towards the entrance, I saw another SP coming out and walking to her car. I know she works from the same incall that I was going to. I have been to that place a few times before. I had seen her less than a week earlier and I had a great great time with her. I know I am going to repeat her for sure.

Anyways, I don't think she saw me at all, she got in her vehicle and drove off.

I was SO tempted to say 'hi' to her. But then I stopped myself. I know, I did the right thing. It was a public place, although it was just the apartment complex with virtually no one around. I would NOT do it if we ran into each other in a supermarket. Basically she was still at her work.

Just curios....... what do you think?

I decided to keep the name(s) secret here too, because I do respect their privacy.

Just ignore. If they want to initiate the "hi", let them. It must be shitty for those of them who have to hide their revenue lifestyle and to have to worry about random guys making it awkward to explain how they know them or to remind them of being an escort 24-7 would suck I would guess.

I apologize on behalf of guys here who find your posts just fine - everyone has their own style. The following just don't seem very helpful but that is just my opinion.

the more post i see of take8easy's the more apparent it becomes why he needs to pay for sex.

In your case, I would suggest you "search" before creating a new thread.

This one is done probably 3 X per year.

Another "done to death" topic [yawn].

I'll see your 3x a year and raise it to EVERY OTHER FUCKING WEEK!

Come on seriously do we only apparently have brains in your fucking pants. Think!
Use some sense.

Here's an interesting item from the guidelines:

17. Do not "necropost". Once a thread is more than 6-8 months old, leave it alone. Post a new thread and link to the older one if you must.

So even if the thread appeared before, if a person felt he or she has missed participating in the orginal conversation and had something to contribute (perhaps a nuance that not everyone would see as fresh or worthwhile, but some might), starting a new thread on the topic is what TPTB want you to do.

I've seen at least two ladies in public. One was shopping at Art Knapp's. I just ignored her. Another was at a local lake with a guy. I also ignored her but did take a few peaks because she was in a bikini in the water. Just making sure she didn't drown.

Well to get a little meta about it, I was unable to divine the moderators' position on the topic by using the phrase "done to death" and "moderator" as search terms.

Though it may be the 100th rerun of the topic for some, personally, I appreciated it coming up again as it was an appropriate place to add my story a couple pages back. Since the purpose of a forum is to have conversations and not just serve as a compendium of past wisdom, it doesn't seem out of line to allow those who didn't participate in the earlier incarnations of a thread to have their say too. If the topic were dead no one would have anything to say and suggesting people stop talking would be redundant. In short "done to death" is a subjective call.

Personally I post in topics that interest me and skip those that don't. I don't think anyone would appreciate a user posting "boring!" in every thread that didn't interest them, which would be a fairly equivalent response.

Though if the powers that be agree that they don't want certain topics revisited a FAQ to that effect would be a good idea IMHO. In all seriousness I suggest the more prolific contributors take this up in a new thread to petition the moderators for such a policy if you feel so strongly about it.

Great response. Nothing condescending. No attempt to be the moderator. No personal attack. No "internet tough guy" approach. Well done - sincerely, well done.

I agree with the above. I've been around awhile (yeah, I mostly lurk) but I've never seen this topic posted. Regardless, An unpopular thread will die its own death, if you're sick of that topic, don't engage and let others make their own choices. I'd rather see a fresh thread than a 3 year old dormant one resurrected, but that's just me.

Also, I'm not sure what all the vitriol as of late on PERB. Don't we all have some common goals.

The search engine is your friend no need to reignite topics that have been DONE TO DEATH.

That topic hasn't been done this year so I wouldn't call it done to death. Or it might have been but you didn't provide a link for 2014.

I don't understand what's the big deal for topics to be repeated. Everyone started out as a newbie and everyone spends a different amount of time here.

Sometimes people just want the newest opinion on a common topic. They probably don't want to read 15 year old threads even though the responses are the same. Doesn't bother me.

 

[sevenofnine]

so funny page one everyone was fighting and bitching,

I skip to page eight everyone is still fighting and bitching,

the maturity level.

like I said once before people just waiting to pounce and bitch and whine and complain.

 

[Man in Submission]

I beg your pardon?

I am a 50 yr old man with receding hair and aging body and non-white skin. Do you think I am getting it for free from beautiful (mostly) white girls???

It takes a real man to be realistic and acknowledge his shortcomings. No thoughts otherwise on this thread, but I was touched by the poster's honesty here.

 

[Peyton Anders]

Is this really still a question?

Respect everyone's privacy. Yours, mine, hers, his, whatever. Discretion is the biggest rule in this hobby. Repeat ad nauseam.

 

[morementum]

It would probably mean a lot more not coming from one of the most condescending posters on PERB. However, since your such an expert on being condescending maybe your contribution does work.

Where are all these "personal attacks" you speak of perhaps maybe you need a trip in the WAhaambulance to the feelings hospital.

Just pointing out consistently how this could have and should have been handled by the simple use of the search engine at the top right with quotations. Not a mod issue. Use common sense.

Thank you, once again, for so thoroughly making my point! :clap2:

But if you were doing a search on this topic without considering that it was an issue of "discretion", how would you know to do the search for the word "discretion"? (as one of the so-called "senior members" of the forum, I just had to comment in this epic thread! )

 

[Hoops]

Great topic!
I remember a chinese micro girl that was cute and a great fuck.
I bumped into her on the street and recognized her.
She looked gorgous in a yellow, summer dress.
I said 'hi' and she didn't respond.
I kept going.
I had another 'date' with her but I couldn't communicate the story to her.

After reading one of these 'bumped into my hooker' threads I realized that I shouldn't have even said 'hi'.
This topic should be revisited often.

 

[Rod_Longenhard]

I don't understand this shit at all. If this thread has been done ad nauseum then it shouldn't garner any interest, and should theoretically die a quick painless death and those not interested would simply not respond. Instead, we are 8 pages into a juvenile seniority rant over search engine functionality. If you're not interested because the topic has been discussed that many times, don't respond! The problem if it were a problem would rectify itself far quicker!

BadgerJohn, it is clear you do not see value in new posts by people who've experienced situations that resemble those you have read before. It is clear some others here do. Since there is nonetheless an audience for the discussion (its lack of interest for you, personally, not withstanding), it seems like such posts should be permissible so long as the moderators have no objections. I don't see why it's any more complicated than that? You keep saying how easy the search feature is to use but offer no explanation why ignoring threads that don't interest you is so hard?

 

[Man Mountain]

Man it's a discretion issue so you search discretion. Search public, search public meeting, meeting in public etc etc etc

You're missing the point. A seasoned member would understand that this is an issue of discretion. But a relative newbie might not yet understand all of the nuances of what discretion should entail and therefore might not think to search for "discretion" when searching for threads about this topic. I do agree that the other search strings you mention should make sense even to a relative newbie doing a search for information on this specific topic. I haven't tried to search them personally though, so I don't know how effective they would actually be. You might get a lot of threads that are completely off topic.

And if you think about a thread that I posted a few months ago, you might remember that even seasoned members don't always agree on all of the potential nuances of what "discretion" should or might not include
