I don’t think the mere mention of a person’s rate is the issue. If it is the rate established by the provider … fine. The issue may involve editorializing … comments regarding the rate. “How dare she…”, etc.

The overwhelming issue is, we are a community. We should/must show respect and courtesy to others. Mocking and belittling another party in a public forum is against the “guidelines” … and beyond that … unseemly. We come here to get info which helps us enjoy our hobby. To be entertained and enjoy ourselves. Things which diminish that enjoyment … which create ill will … are counterproductive
