I finally found decent employment. I now work for a few sites and in one of them writers are allowed to make bids on orders and customers accept the best bid. I found out that some of the writers who bid on projects there try to convince customers that they are the only choice.

Graduated with distinction? I sincerely doubt that.
The only person to achieve a distinction in his university? My foot ...
Monsta's remark on other writers - a completely unethical `choose me or you'll fail' fear tactic.

Hi Manunulat!
Kamusta (Filipino for "How are you")? I get your point, since were both Filipinos.
For my non-Filipino friends, the term "crab mentality" was derived from an old Filipino folktale. In that folktale, the author describes a basket full of crabs that isn't covered. When a child asks the owner of the basket why the crabs didn't escape even if the basket was uncovered, the owner of the basket tells the child that "whenever one crab tries to make it to the top, the others pull it down"; hence, no crab ever makes it to the top.
This term, "crab mentality", has, since, been used by Filipinos to describe people who are envious of those who succeed in life and try to pull them down. Manunulat (which is also the Filipino word for "writer") was probably describing the attitude of Monsta2005, as he tried to bring others down so that he could end up getting hired instead of his competitors.
I'm pretty sure a lot of you already know this; but for those of you who don't, I hope my explanation was appropriate.

Melissa's design mode hysteria is still in full force.
Check out this PR article, posted just one week ago, before she removes it:
http://www.propeller.com/story/2009/04/01/priorityessayscom-is-the-premium- essay-dissertation-thesis-coursework-and-admission-essay-writing-service
Besides being copied from a masterpapers' article (she substituted priorityessays for masterpapers), just take a look at the very bottom - the contact info :)
While at it, check this: http://thanksgoogle.com/priority. Again, design mode and I am a hacker for having accessed a live site :)

OxbridgeExpert: Do you really want to sound like you're a chinaman?
Wrong again. The Chinese know nothing about this. It's a Filipino folktale. Why do you hate the Chinese so much? They're probably the only nationality that isn't attacking you. I'd understand it if you simply attacked my nationality, since I am the one arguing with you; but to attack the Chinese? I thought you were better than that. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

I am monsta2005 the referred to in this post-I feel some of the comments said about me are highly unfair and inappropriate within this thread. There are several points I would like to make.
1) Due to an error made by the site other writers could see the private message between me the customer. Hence why it has been posted in this thread. Without sounding rude, I do not know why people are interferring in my business. You do not see me point out the fact that several writers within the site have DO EXACTLY what I claim.
2) I do not disclaim or discredit any partciuliar writer within my private message to the customer with regards to poor quality and plagarism-whilst I do know who they are, I was sincerley just trying to warn the customer to be careful.
3) As one can see from my feedback, I am one of the top writers within the site. Furthermore, despite being a writer on the site for a sustained period I have only completed a limited number of projects; if I truly wanted to adopt a poor and unethical approach to gaining more projects, surely it is common sense that I would have received more work through the site. Money is not everything, not to me anyway.
4) Why people are saying im a poor quality writer or lying about my qualifications is beyond me- my feedback speaks for itself and I am happy to prove all claims I have made about my qualifications. Surely when you tendering for a project, job or any other piece of academic work, you should be selling yourself, as I can assure you most other writers for the site are doing.
5) If people feel that I have been out of line, please post in this thread legitmate points as to why I have. I can accept to a small degree why the particuliar line warning the customer can be misinterpreted and fellow writers can be perhaps slightly offended. However, if you are not one of the writers whom plagarises or produces inadequate standard work, then surely you have nothing at all to worry about.
I genuinely feel that I have not adopted a 'crab mentality', as has been portrayed. Some of the points made in this particuliar thread are genuinely not very nice- is it me adopting the 'crab mentality' or others.
6) And finally, I am genuinely concerned regarding this whole issue. I do honestly feel that I have not been out of line, and have been contemplating for several hours whether I have acted unethically, after I discovered this thread. Frankly it has really got to me- cause I do provide an honest service, and do work hard and generally do deliver on what I promise to customers. And i do feel that many customers are getting ripped off, far too often.
I really would like people to advise me on setting things straight and happy to acknowledge any grounded advice/points.
Thank you.

Monsta-
I know you think you are a good writer, and you're pretty decent for someone that does not speak English as a first language. But the fact that your feedback is generally good doesn't mean anything, except that your customers are even less skilled and less aware of their (and your) deficiencies than you are.
I'll point out just a few of the errors in this post just to give you an idea:
monsta2005: I am monsta2005 the referred to in this post
monsta2005: Hence why it has been posted in this thread
monsta2005: You do not see me point out the fact that several writers within the site have DO EXACTLY what I claim.
If you don't see anything wrong, you shouldn't be a professional writer.

This is a forum where you are attempting to assert your skills in the English language. It would help if you had some.

It's not spelling, its word usage, lack of commas (or commas in odd places), strange grammar, misuse of words, etc. I make a lot of typos in the forum, and I don't proofread. I don't use the word "why" when I mean "how," though, and my sentences have proper syntax and grammar.

How would you like me to address you? You don't have any sort of introduction at all, monsta2005. I though I was being polite by directing my comment at your chosen moniker. I can call you something else, if you'd rather.

This comma is unnecessary, and in fact incorrect. The phrase "To open with the quote above" is awkward and unclear. "Opening in the manner i've quote is incorrect" is, I believe, what you are trying to say. You have made your point clearly (though it is a rather silly point to make and one that I disagree with), but not in what I would consider an adequate manner for a professional writer. This isn't meant as an insult, but you need to be honest with yourself about your level of proficiency.

The fact that you take my comments as insults rather than constructive criticism is evidence of either your lack of understanding of plain English, or some significant (and well placed) insecurities about your command of the language.
monsta2005, you do not have a fluent command of written English. You should not be writing papers professionally. If your customers are EFL students, your work is probably more suited to their needs than mine, but for native English speakers your writing is simply inadequate. I'm sorry (well, no, not really) if you find this insulting, but your posts speak for themselves.

Have you just lost it or something? This is a forum. I am not going to mull over my language, grammar, etc for a post within a forum. If your basis for judging someones abilities as a writer lies within their posts, then god help you. Nothing you have said is constructive whatsoever- relative to what I have been asking. Your simply attempting to cover up your own inadequacies, with a child-like approach. I do not need to justify myself to you my abilities as an academic writer. I still encourage some advice, either via private message or within the thread and apologise it has deviated from the purpose it was intended. I do not believe Manunulat started the thread as a vendetta against me, but would have liked something constructive to transpire. As would I.

Monsta2005, please do not defend the indefensible.
1) You tried to "sell" yourself by underselling others. That is backhanded and unethical. Your failure to recognise it as such is your problem, not ours.
2) Your English is markedly ESL. This is a fact, not an insult.
3) No, I do not believe that you accurately represented your qualifications. The only one to have earned a distinction?

People who speak a language fluently don't need to "mull over" these things. I don't plan out my sentences consciously to ensure that their grammar and syntax are correct; being a native English speaker with a high command of the language, this occurs automatically.
WRT: If your basis for judging someones abilities as a writer lies within their posts, then god help you
My basis for judging you as a writer is the writing of yours I have seen--your posts here, and your claims on essaybay. Both of these are rife with error.
monsta2005: Nothing you have said is constructive whatsoever- relative to what I have been asking.
Go. Learn. English. Is that constructive enough for you?
monsta2005: Your simply attempting to cover up your own inadequacies
That's "you're;" and what inadequacies, might I ask?
monsta2005: with a child-like approach
But adult-like language skills.
monsta2005: I do not need to justify myself to you my abilities as an academic writer.
And can't even though you keep trying.
monsta2005: I still encourage some advice, either via private message or within the thread and apologise it has deviated from the purpose it was intended.
That's a run-on sentence, just to point out its biggest flaw.

Something constructive, thank you. The main core of the message concentrates on myself. I think I have used that message on two occasions, though to be honest until this thread was created I didnt really think too deeply as to the content of an initial private message to customers. I sincerely apologise if fellow writers feel it was backhanded and unethical, and will make sure in the future I actually think more about what I am sending to potential customers, within a private message.
I did not post in order to potray and exhibit my English skills. I can also point out errors and misuse of language in posts by other forum members within this thread and occasions where better language could have been used. These are not facts, but opinions.
I am the only person who attended my university to be awarded a distinction on its MBA program; that is a fact.

Hi Guys,
I am looking for writers for few dissertations i have. I have been giving my writing jobs to theessay, realdissertation, dissertationprovider but so far i have not received any satisfactory work.
I am not sure if this is the right way to approach writers.
Cheers
