No one was attacking "everyone who brings it up" ... I never said "X is a bad guy because he does bbfs with escorts" ... or ... "Z should be put in jail because she offers bbfs."
You, and Calandra, are the ones who attack anyone who disagrees with the practice of bbfs with providers, as a concept.
And Earthmover didn't attack anyone either ... he never attacked anyone's character ... he was just stating a general point ... but you jumped all over him, didn't you? ... and that's because you can't take it when people offer differing opinions ... you even said it by writing that "I think there should be a lack of critical comment" ... WHY? ... Why shouldn't anyone be allowed to critical of a practice in an open forum???

This thread was originally about truth in advertising. I didn't think (and still don't) that anyone's opinion of whether BBFS is good or bad is appropriate to that topic.
If you want to go join one of the many "BBFS right or wrong" threads. Spout your fake numbers there to your hearts content.
And the canard, that providers and customers are going to go "underground" simply because someone said that bbfs has a higher risk than bbbj, is completely rediculous!
Do you have any statistics to support that, or are you making stuff up?

It's not ridiculous. There are other boards where BBFS isn't even allowed to be discussed. Such posts are deleted. And the result is that BBFS is only talked about underground and the majority of people on that board don't know who does or doesn't do it. This is not an item that is provable or disprovable by a statistic. All it requires is basic logic. Or do you think that because that board disallows conversation that BBFS stops completely.
The point is valid. If you make people uncomfortable to talk about BBFS, then they will stop talking about it, but they won't stop doing it.
