1.  Attacks (personal, portfolio, or otherwise) on people who exhibit a different opinion than you are hardly professional.  People have different opinions on issues, and they have their own reasons for coming to those decisions just as you have reasons for your opinions.  Please be aware that these attacks apply to all topics and not any particular thread.  These attacks have been demonstrated in many threads where polarized views of both major and minor issues exist. 

2.  Models are free to bring an escort to a shoot provided they act in a decent, professional manner just as photographers are free to refuse to work with escorts present.  Should the photographer in question not want to shoot with an escort present for whatever reason those terms should be presented during negotiations.  Should the two parties differ in opinion then there is no obligation to continue with the shoot as both parties are free to find different people to work with.  If the two parties do not agree on the topic they should simply accept that fact and find a different party to work with.

Seems to be human nature  I am the Chief News Videographer for the local ABC and the news people want to hear is the bad that happened then when we cover it the same folks whack us with being un- sensitive.  I feel they just have to bitch. if they are happy you never hear it

Yeah I hear you, that's an interesting spin I never thought of it that way, I don't pay too much attention to the media as there is hardly anything positive on it.

::Two Small Points:: ---> I thought for sure someone was making fun of my man breasts...LOL!

Seriously though, if MM'ers could comprehend your points, there would be half as many topics on these forums. How are people supposed to get free t-shirts if they can't attack each other or complain about escorts?!?!

Dig.

What I've said here sure seems to be criticized a lot in another thread, but I see none of the people want to post directly on this thread.

Funny how that works.

Yeah, it makes me want a group hug. 


Yes, daddy… If I’m a good boy and stay on topic can I have an escort for my very own?  I promise I will feed, water and walk him everyday.  And I’ll try to keep him from shitting on your keyboard too!

Finally, a bit of sense cuts through all the muck.  Two great points to always remember.

I think it is cute that you are still talking about escorts.  Shows the level you are at.

Thanks again for commenting on the original post and trying to drag this thread down to the maturity level of the escort thread.

Two small points:  That'd be a colon.

I'm behind you 100% on this.
I shoot escorted models all the time as well as encourage models to bring an escort with them.

Exactly, not to bring up the escort issue again but you work in a certain way and if it turn out for the better more power to you!  Should two parties conflict in point of view then they should simply find other people to work with smile
