Re: I would agree (Reply to this comment)
by counsel
Penguinlady, I don't know. Judging by your picture (and I am just shallow enough to do that very thing) you are one of the most attractive women on the site, which is usually more than enough reason for me to brownnose you. Perhaps I've been exercising my self-restraint and not even knowing it. Needy types can be so pathetic.

I would agree (Reply to this comment)
by Penguinlady
I'd be more inclined to agree with everything you said - to TRUST you, so to speak - if I were on your WOT. But I'm not, and I wanna know WHY??? My hair has gone gray worrying about this.

"Speaking of WOTs. I'm really insulted that every single one of the people I've added have not immediately added me."
Awright, Counsel. I'm a glutton for punishment. I added you to MINE, even though you haven't added ME. Dammit.
But what can I say? An almost 50-year-old guy with those dandy abs deserves my thumbs up!

. . . and not one disagreement?
I think someone disagreed about sending me their vital stats.
But geez, when I'm right, I'm right. What's there to disagree about?

Good graces. That's the thing I wanta avoid, you know; the whole "whose good graces can I invoke" thing. As for anyone's absence - give me credit for having some minimum standards, but folks'll have to guess what those are.
Some defects bring attention to the remaining perfection: Crawford's little mole; Pamela Lee's tattoo, and the folks missing on my list.
And Sordie's on there only to stem the tide of naked farm animal photos.

Sheeeit.... (Reply to this comment)
by chaospump
Fifty freakin' comments, and not one disagreement?
How come I can't get that kind of stroking?
And, for that matter, WOTthehell are all you people thinking that don't have me on your WOT?
I am WOTworthy. I am a very WOTable person.
But just in case anyone doesn't know that, and somehow misses my affirmation of my WOTworthiness here, perhaps it would make them more likely to WOT me if I were to spam them with annoying, whiny emails declaring my WOTability (while simultaneously conclusively disproving it)...
Eh, WOT?

Hats and all (Reply to this comment)
by Mr.Eyore
I've only ever had two people ask me why they were removed from my WOT, and frankly, I thought it was hilarious. Unless you've only got about 4 people trusting you, who the hell has time to keep track of such things? And who the hell has so little pride that they would ADMIT to immediately noticing they had been removed? Well, I mean, I know who, but I'm so embarrassed for them, I would never say.
On the other hand, don't think for a second I haven't noticed that I remain NOT on your WOT, I think. And if you ever expect to get into my good graces, and the good graces of all right thinking people, I strongly suggest you repair that defect, mofo.
And please take sordid-1 off your WOT if you know what's good for you.

Well, OK. But trust me (no pun intended), you don't want to see the untouched stuff.
Speaking of WOTs. I'm really insulted that every single one of the people I've added have not immediately added me.

LOL! Thanks for the compliments. But wait a minute...I checked out pictures of you and you don't look near that half-a-century age either!
Wonder what it is? When our parents hit 50, they looked 70. Perhaps it's air pollution. One day they'll discover pollution contains a certain amount of formaldehyde, therefore preserving our youthful appearances. Ya think?
Now you and I might look younger than five-oh-no...but Tom? He kinda looks like Yosemite Sam to me.

Hey, now. Some of those questions are acceptable. My answers, respectively: 5'8, "get *%*&^%"*, "get *%*&^%"*, Listerine, dirty blonde, none, "get *%*&^%"*, and didn't Spago close last year? Ha. At least you've never asked about my trust list...
How'd I do?

Re: How rude. (Reply to this comment)

To the scenic Kim: Howdy. Being of the even deeper south, I feel quite comfortable telling such intrusive folk to "get *%*&^%" if they make an issue of it. But you're from that highbrow state Virginnie, so you may not be familiar with Texan nuisance-coping methods.
So please ignore all those emails from me asking about your age, height, weight, mouthwash, real hair color, extramarital affairs, favorite lingerie shopping site and whether you'd meet me for lunch at Spago's.

How rude. (Reply to this comment)
by scenery
counsel,
Excellent write-up.
Perhaps it is because I was raised in the south, but asking "Why don't you trust me?" ranks right up there with asking a lady's age(or weight), asking how much money someone makes, or phoning someone before noon on a Sunday.
Puh-lease. Believe or not, me of no buttons, few trusters, and even fewer reviews, has gotten some of this email, and hitting that delete button has never felt so good.

Re: Dwight & Tom: (Reply to this comment)

Hey, Katy, thanks for stopping by.
But if you're fifty, I'm Osama. I dropped by your profile and saw your pictures. If you ARE fifty, you should be taken to an antique store and aged appropriately, because those images are showing me someone at least twenty years younger. That ain't right.
If you ditch Mr Happy, I'd say "Let me know and I'll ease your pain" except that I doubt I could do that any more except with pharmaceuticals. I'm turning fifty soon, y'know.

Dwight & Tom: (Reply to this comment)
by katybrighteyes
Counsel: "Since I'm turning the big five-oh this summer..."
And Sleeper: "'turning five-oh' ??
. . .I am right behind you...
Might as well kiss your brains goodbye, fellas. I beat ya both to it by a few months. Guess what... I'm still depressed!
Dwight, loved your review. Sometimes I feel it would be better if Eps changed it from "WOT" to "Favorite Writers" or something like that. When the word "trust" is used, too many people take it to heart and/or abuse it.
Of course, if Sordy ever posts a pic of himself in black dainties...
Nah. Never mind.

Re: My 2 cents...3 cents on a good day... (Reply to this comment)
by counsel
Heidi! You're right, it doesn't matter, except when it does.
The folk who sent me email were people I knew not at all, except for reading their reviews. This aggravated the whole "why-is-it-your-business" thing in my mind. Granted, it might mean more when a real friend drops another friend, but then they also have lines of communication established outside the whole Eps thing that might not allow a simple brushoff.
Thanks for reading and rating.

My 2 cents...3 cents on a good day... (Reply to this comment)
by HJS33
Ok, I'm actually using borrowed sense. All I wanted to say is that I whole-heartedly agree with your epinion. I used to get offended, upset, etc. (you can fill in whatever emotion you want here) when someone took me off of their web of trust. Granted, I'd love to know, but does it really matter?
Thanks for a great epinion...as usual.

Being an Advisor (Reply to this comment)
by counsel
Having spent all the energy writing this essay, I thought I would check my facts and review the Member Section requirements. Since I have an Advisor hat, I should note that the stated requirements for an Advisor include the following:
Quality of Web of Trust. A Web of Trust that only includes other strong members.
That's all it says about an Advisor's WOT. With that in mind, I must ask all those on my WOT to get a camera, make a muscle or perform some other act of strength, take a picture of said muscle or act of strength, and send the picture to me. It must be convincing.

Rubin said: Although I agree that your trust list is your own choice, I reserve the right to look at your trust list in considering whether to trust you.
Based on your statement, I don't see any reason to change anything I said. I would note in passing that many people have used such a statement to try and influence my WOT choices. I trust that's not you, but then why bring it up at all?
And: If you care about that (which you shouldn't), you can keep it in mind.
????? Re-read the review. Discuss (elsewhere).
And: OTOH, I don't know why (if you do) you use your trust list as an alert list. Why not use your alert list as an alert list?
You weren't looking for . . . an explanation, were you? At any rate, looks like you still don't know why. Maybe you'll figure it out on your own, maybe not.
Thanks for playing. You get the take-home version.
