By your posts, I am reminded of why girls don't want to post on here.
Tapper's signature does not bother me in the slightest, hence why I've said nothing about it before this. It does not affect my business, and if it did, those are clients that were not meant for me anyway. I can't worry about a party from years and years ago, with someone that I would absolutely not party with now (by his posts and attitude, he's not my type of client and our party showed that). I stuck to my price for a reason.
LPIN is really good to me right now and I believe it's a result of what I'm putting into it, and no one on this board, or anywhere else, can take that away from me. Sorry, but....not sorry.
That's all I have to say about that.

Oh Ruby, darling, I cheered when I read this. Way to stick to your guns and stand up for what is right for you. In the past, before I had any actual experience of what these boards (or most of the internet, to be quite honest) actually meant, certain individuals would loom the potential threat of Trashing Us On The Internet And We Would Never Work In This Town Again Because They Are Very Important Kings Of Online Stuff if we didn't give them parties that should have been valued in the few thousand range for basically a wooden nickel. DISCLAIMER: This was only a few people, they just made a very distinct impression. Good thing I wasn't their type, so I did not get their actual attention much. Even though since then I have learned who The Very Important Kings Of Online Stuff really are (I pledge allegiance to the almighty Amazon), a part of me never shook that threat completely. If I got a bad review from someone, what would happen? Would I get fired for giving bad service and giving my house a bad name? Would new clients be repelled, or even worse, would i lose current clients because they would read this review and decide I wasn't the girl they thought I was? Would I need to start taking parties that I wasn't comfortable taking to get better reviews to (possibly, hopefully) drown out the negative one? Then in comes Ruby Rae, flying in with her super hero cape fighting for Truth, Justice, and the Working Girl Way with her powerful message of "Don't Let It Get You Down.
