The very fact of your joining in on the attacks on Sofia when everybody else attacks her de facto makes you a part of the lynch mob...Not true. Sometimes people's reveal themselves to be full of shit, bat shit crazy and even dangerous; at minimum totally classless leaving one to wonder if you want to do business with them. I have dealt with several agencies. Gina is the gold standard in Texas. She will posture if attacked and she is a smart lady. I have never seen her use the boards to the detriment of her agency or the ladies she represents the way SS has.
A real man - honorable people, would never join in, even if they had a legitimate grudge against her. Just because to do so is cowardly. Originally Posted by Raphael

Why she didnt put it on here. providerbuzz.com, or nationalblacklist.com is a good question. Why didn't she have Alex communicate with Gina? Gina deals with thousands of working girls and with her experience, she does not have the time for those who cannot be concise with the facts and drama queens like SS do not have much credibility... and what is all that shit about recording her calls?
And this theft of ASPD material is quite illegal, too, as Amber's sister is not Amber's heir. In all probability, the courts will give it all to her son, who want be getting much as hobby reviews don't have lasting market value, such as it is. Originally Posted by RaphaelI concur. I suspect that is why they avoided probate court. A trustee would have been appointed and the rest of the family would probably not see any more funds. Additionally, it might have attracted the attention of the IRS. The ASPD domain, membership, and its database of info had value. There was significant revenue and value the kid got fucked out of.
However, it is not the first time I have seen some fucked up shit in this world. They should have sold the domain name. It may still have a little value left, but their may be obstacles to get it since the estate was not probated. Someone could possibly file suit on behalf of the minor survivor, but I do not think it would be financially feasible at this point.
The "lynch mob" and "gutter snipes" you refer to are folks who have matured in the hobby enough to realize that these are just silly hooker message boards. Yes they are weird and have a warped sense of humor. They can also laugh at themselves. The folks who are social climbers do not realize they are they are on the bottom rungs of the societal ladder. "woo hoo! look at me. I am king of the scumbags". I oppose having career mods on SHMB's. Why do they want to do it? Giving back is fine. Succumbing to the ego of it all and staying on because you think no one else can do it right is arrogant thinking or not wanting to be a "regular johns" makes others suspicious of their motives. Why would a previous admin quit, later get banned , and then make the largest power play in SHMB history to try to be the big dawg again only to piss off the membership he helped originally foster.
This shit is supposed to be entertaining and about getting laid. If it means more than that to the hobbyist, then you have to question what is going on with them. The hobby is not a cult or a religion, but some seem to behave that way. It is a business endeavor for many. I understand people who are in it for the money take it more seriously. They should. But if they are smart, they do not create, foster or continue to perpetuate drama. They carefully cultivate their online persona to maximize their opportunities for profit and credibility. SS and some others are just not able to control their emotions to achieve that goal and they get called out on it. And they should. When the impulsively stupid take the bait, even the short bus people become aware of the red flags brought up in the ensuing mess.
Ribbons, medals, and "rep power" meters are bullshit and completely counter productive to eliminating the very "abuses" that people fear in the hobby community.
Sorry to be long winded, but I didn't get laid tonight and I only took 5th in the poker tourney today.
