Okay. Final thoughts before I kiss this thread goodbye and close it.
Cassandra's vehement denial leads me to believe that either this site has so much power in the hobby world that the mere accusastion she was providing unsafe services was enough to make her come on here and protect her brand or that she really doesn't provide that service and it bothered her to read that. As much as I think this site is the premier review site in the metropolitan region, I don't believe that providers are all that concerned about it affecting their business. So, I'm inclined to beleive that this girl was actually upset by the allegation. Too bad she had allowed the unsafe practice to be published though. That is 100% on her, whether because she lifted the ad copy or she allowed her pimp to write the ad. She has to take responsibility for it either way. Maybe had she not played the Trump card and come right out and owned up to the screw-up, the controversy would have been over quickly.
Conversely, the same can be said for the accusers. Had proof been posted at the get-go, this also would have been over rather quickly. The next time you have the urge to write, "I remember seeing a provider's ad that said...," you had better back that up immediately with visible proof. A screen capture or a copy-and-paste of the ad is necessary. An ad link is not sufficient. If no visible proof is posted, the comment will be deleted. Any follow-up comments asking why the post was deleted will also be deleted. And if that dialogue continues, the member will be deleted, as in banned. (Slinky is a man of few words and simple action. He has continually pointed out to me the futility in my explaining my actions and allowing things to proceed in the hope they will resolve themselves. Yet, I persist in trying. I finally see the light.)
Steveoo, thank you for finally posting the proof. I apoligize if my comments led you to believe that I thought you were lying. I did think you may have been mistaken and confused her ads with someone else. But you proved otherwise and can take solace in that. To the Gr8 one, thanks also for initially showing me proof. But points off for the "backsies" and deleting it, making it necessary for steveoo to post proof himself. Although, in retropsect and as I pointed out at the time, he should have done that in the first place.
I will allow this thread to stay open through the evening to allow for any final comments from members.
