I was blacklisted by a K org once. , long ago. I'm not certain why but I suspect that it was a very minor and very unintentional transgression to do with money. I short-counted at my auto before the session and was not given any chance to fix the problem by the PO once I discovered my mistake. The PO carried my phone number from one org to another, leaving her blacklist with each org. In the intervening years, I have tried everything to fix the problem with no success.
I could have changed my phone number.
Instead, I counted my blessings. I had a slightly reduced scope of operations. That led me to focusing more on the several very excellent good orgs that the PO has apparently never worked for or remains uninfluenced by her. I almost never run out of new KGirls to try from my new KGirls to try list. Yes, I miss an occasional superstar KGirl, but it's OK since there are so many good KGirls out there.
In discussing it in several forums away from this forum, it seemed to me that
1 blacklisting is much more common than people are willing to admit
2 blacklisting can occur for fairly trivial or specious reasons
3 you can survive blacklisting by changing your phone number (and this even seems to be anticipated and expected by Korgs to some degree)*
4 you can survive blacklisting by just focusing on orgs that have not blacklisted you
I would note that 3 and 4 as solutions may not be universally applicable. for example, many c-orgs seem to be connected to each other in a loose confederation (on the west coast, at any rate, or so i have heard). they share punter inforation, so getting blacklisted by one c-org might get you blacklisted by all the c-orgs if you are on the west coast.
I reflected on my minor donation miscount mistake. this led me to three slight modifications to my punting routine: first, triple count my donation before i leave home and before i leave my auto; second, always try to donate at tthe beginning of a session in an attempt to uncover any miscounting problems at the earliest possible moment; and third, always try to bring more cash than is strictly neccesary for the donation, just in case a miscount occurred.
Normally I would add changing or adding a new cell phone number. However, I have not done that for two reasons: first, it costs money that i could otherwise use for further punting; second, i have eventually rationalized the effective decision to avoid the overly cautious k-orgs by convincing myself that they are probably not as top-notch as i would imagine, and that a certain amount of grass-is-greener syndrome is in effect if i let my indignance at apparent injustice sway my reason. I am all for caution but not necessarily an excess of caution and this may lead to other deficiences in a given org's offerings.
In all of this, as always, YMMV. | |
