Field Reports or Commentary?
[QUOTE=Bionicman;1393126]Are you looking for the juicy tales or for some information on ISG? Once you read a FR as the lat from Skogys, no blame on him for doing that, it is fine, how can it help you in mongering? [B]SNIP[/B] Do you think the other have no business then because no Juicy report? Once the format of how a place works has been written here, and resumed from time to time in brief, what's the point in describing whether the girl was shaved to baby skin, and so on, and so on.[/QUOTE]What I think is that FR's are backbone of ISG. A good FR tells us who, what when and where. With a recommendation to try it yourself or give it a miss. My own preference is for the informational type. I don't mind some sexual detail but don't really require that. I also like to be entertained by FR's so then a little detail can be fun. H444 says that FR's are for "the guys' ego". Maybe he already knows every who what when where. So [B]what[/B] Are his posts for? Bionicman thinks that FRs are just a bunch of juicy details so what's the point? And goes on to ask how they have helped me to monger. Well, they tell me who what when where and was it good or bad. Recommendations. A simple concept. If he does not believe in that why does he make so many links in the Reports of Distinction thread?
Are you saying that you have never followed up on anyone's recommendation here? For your own particular preference? D-cups, for example, certainly has sought those recommendations. I've made my lists of the top 3 to seek out at the massage places as that's my thing, and MAN did that pay off! I've made recommendations that I do hope that people have followed up on because that is what it means to give back to the board.
Some commentary is ok as it can add clarity or another perspective to a FR. And sometimes they can be entertaining. All too often the commentary on this board, IMHO, is about telling another monger that he is mongering wrong. Like that time Bionicman wrote that if you do take a bus and do not take a taxi from BKK to Patts, then you should just stay home. Whatever happened to YMMV? Then you have H444 telling Goatscroat drink prices have gone up in a gogo bar. H444 never paid enough attention to GS's presence on the board to understand his preference for good performance, even at a premium price. GS has stated more than once that he'd pay a premium price for stunning looks with PSE. Yes, glossing over indeed. So you ISG world class commentators, how are you contributing to the board?
I see that in expressing my feelings about this I've crossed that line and become a commentator too. I do not get to monger often but I'm going to try to restrict my posts to FR's.
And my appreciation goes out to all the guys who are sharing their experiences. Without you there would be no point in RTFF. (I too wish we had "Like" buttons on ISG.)
