That's true Destiny sweetheart and BTW might I say your avatar looks lovely....
So ya see Private Tags are used to keep ROS, and the coed Men's Lounge private....
BUT Donkey and his BFF Copter wanna pass in sequential notes about you providers behind your back so you wont get an even worse impression of them than you already have.....but its childish
They then want to accuse others of revealing such info to providers which is baseless as usual.
I did however do some shopping for the new BFF's today and for their next sleepover found the perfect PJ's for them.

They're on to us, guys!!!

Hope you're doing well, Des! And, yes, your new booty avatar rocks, my dear!

[MrWonderfulKC]

Destiny, yours was a most timely and welcomed post hijack...thanks for the redirect...and to a most awesome avatar no less.

If I may, I personally agree with the OP. If someone wishes to post using private tags, who are any of us to say that they must/should make the comments public? They've clearly expressed their desire to make their comments visible to only a select group of people. They do have that right to make that choice don't they? "Calling them out" on it does wreak of snitching IMO. Oh, & there is a reason why they call it being a "snitch." Because the other "itch" had already called dibs on the "B." JS

Oh for fucks sake Einstein...

Did you happen to read what the talented and lovely Ms Destiny posted? I've enclosed it FYI.. Those without PA can see when something is posted in PRIVATE...hello...McFly... Explain to me this "Calling them out" comment. Several of us have merely pointed out that notes are being passed...I mean WTF??..the "other side" already knows...duh.. Shhhh...I don't want anyone without PA to see what I'm posting in an OPEN FORUM...it's a secret that only hundreds of others can see.. Show me the "snitch" part.. In my case it's called SARCASM..

Long story short...the Donkey is pissed because others noticed it before he did and he could not put on his sheriffs badge and storm the forum making arrests... Not to worry though as he is currently involved in several other investigations at this time and I'm sure more arrests will be made..

It's not like the "other side" can see what is written, they can just see that something is being written...and by who..
Here's hoping I don't have to get my crayons out to splain it any further..
Ei Yi Yi YI......!!!!!!!

You have your perspective & I have mine. Neither is right nor wrong. It's just our own individual view of the situation. But answer me this, being as the other side can see it, what purpose is served or benefit gained by mentioning it? It would seem as though the OP has a point? Those intentionally drawing attention to it are doing so to perhaps stir up drama? To insinuate that "private tags = negative comments" being made in the reviews of those providers? Playing on the natural speculations/fears that we all have when we find out that someone is "whispering" about us? It is quite childish & juvenile in my view. I had hoped by this age that all the games I'd played & participated in during high school would be a thing of the past. Maybe in another 40 years perhaps?

So let me get this straight...its not ok to use this site, as it was intended, with full function? The Private tags are made available for a reason, and its so they can be used. While I agree sometimes people use them when discussing something that really isn't private nor a big deal, I don't see why there's an issue with it being used as a sidebar mid-thread.

I mean, they can either do it in the thread or go to the Men's Lounge and do it...and since I don't see anyone on here complaining about the "note passing" that occurs in the Men's Lounge I'm guessing this whole debate is really just a pissing match about who can be the bigger WK.

Whats more concerning to me, is the WK's running to providers and lying to them about what is in the private discussions/ROS to make someone else look bad like when I was recently contacted by a provider asking why I left a negative ROS when I actually hadn't...and then said "one of my regulars made it seem like it was a negative review"...you can read my reviews, I haven't written a 'no' review in a year...and even it really wasn't negative.

You might want to read what I posted earlier... While you're at it, please show me where there has ever been any criticism about private tags in a review...that's not my point McFly...my point is inappropriate use of private tags in a PUBLIC FUCKING FORUM...not in the ROS. That is my opinion and I will continue to express it. I believe that just like you think it's ok to use private tags whenever one wants, I will share my opinion whenever I want..

Sure it's ok to use the site with "full function", explain to me why it's not ok to have an opinion about inappropriate use of these tags in a PUBLIC FUCKING FORUM?? and are you telling me that there are actually WKs on this site?? Fuck man..what are we going to do?? I wonder what the Donkeys plan is to rid us of these "snitches"....
In fact, the Donkey has gone silent all of a sudden... I wonder why? I wonder if maybe someone snitched him out.....?

[zeejoe]

I don't have PA so I can't read the content of the private tags...
but I'm psychic.
I'll prove it.

Whatever choppa' and donkey are giggling about like little girls....
is really fucking stupid.

There. Now you know.

If it were inappropriate to use them in a, as you put it, PUBLIC FUCKING FORUM, then why is it available to use in said public forum. Thats what I mean when I say it shouldn't be an issue to use full functionality of the site. We're allowed to do it for a reason. If it was inappropriate the site would have been structured to where private tags could only be used in review threads.

I don't really care one way or the either. I see both sides points. Yes, they get used too much when its really not necessary and thats wrong. Yes, you got 'snitches', probably in this very thread, who take issue with people using the private tags and do the Forrest Gump run to go tell their Jennay what was being said, and thats also wrong.

I'm just saying the site allows us to use them in public forums, so its not like there is inappropriate use of the site going on.

I tell ya this give the girls the opportunity to make private tag quotes about the guys that only providers can use and see on this site....not including their private forum.....you so called private tag users would go fucking nuts.

If they were paying me to fuck them, they could post whatever they wanted, private tags or not

They are communicating outside of this forum (at least if they are smart) as part of screening especially, while most men are not. Private tags in the rest of the forum allow referencing to private areas inside the thread and to put relevant information that would normally be in private along with a thread on the topic.

There are certainly times where there ends up being a private sub-thread which is not useful and is better turned into a thread in the lounge, but as a whole I will continue to use private tags in the other forums when I feel it is appropriate.

[JS42]

I don't see the problem or issue with private tags anywhere on this site. Unless, of course, it's in the Men's Lounge, which is stupid.
