as a fellow independent provid. i care and maybe can shed some light as to why posts like this towards an indy can sometimes be a heads up, or warning..in LI a n occasional advert on LI and personal friend from my town was harassed in this way, warned in subtle tones to stop advert and basic get out of town, negative reviews ect...she continued to post and re-post deleted ads...she eventually took an app w/ a new client who turned out to be one of the "families" that thinks they own the "companionship" business and feel they should get a cut of our profits...she refused there bullying, stupidly shot back smart ass comments not realizing the severity of what was being done...a wk ago her legit business was burned to the ground..just stating a chain of events and not a fact of anything..i myself before coming to ug, took an app w/ a new client over labor day weekend..semi young attractive man, respectful over the phone ect...felt comf w/ app as hed called other times but i wasn't avail, showed up on time enjoyed a great multi cup session...conversed lightly afterwards, and then started going thru my rm still maintaining normal tone convo..i am not an idiot and deff didnt grow up in leave it to beaver land...so i sat down as he pcketed his session payment and found little amount i had stashed under my fridge..next he pulled a gun pointed it to my head lost the nice tone and threatened me if i didnt join his stable...thankfully i hv clients in high places ect ect and although he got out w/ my money and cell phones (all disconnected now)...i was told not to work and to call a # the next night at 8pm...between then amnd 8pm i was lucky enough to secure myself from having to either stop working all together or join his "stable"....final words, june of '06 go to an outcall app same scenario actually lived in my town..young kid, hr app first 30-45 min enjoyable oral convo to finish, ready for 2nd vconvo fuller basis insulted that he has to wear a hat..i get nervous he gets wild i return "shoes" and get ready to lv..grabbed from behind beaten so severely 2 ribs broken, dislocated shoulder and stabbed w/ a box cutter in my stomach...this punks father is a well know Nassau county legal field...us independent prov are at risk every time we see a new person and can only screen so much..obviously lunatics w/ severe issues are not going to make an app letting us know they want to take out there frustration on us...and perhaps the fact that some don't show much respect for our profession in the words they use to perhaps describe sessions and what not doesn't help...case in point being a simple ref to roughness in a certain ters review re me caused a client to injure me...maybe if some didn't refer to us as "tissues" that are to be discarded things might be a tad easier or maybe not...but sometimes the most innocent of comments can cause a chain reaction detrimental to an independent. prov well being...id say that's my .02 but looking above id say its alot more...xox
