Having a Hooker board effect your pussy slinging business adversely and getting banned from this board boil down to the same reason...... it's done by your own self. No one else is to blame if and when it happens.

(Come to think of it, that's the reason I stepped down from moderating another hobby board. I don't have a lot of patience with assholes.)
But don't discount the personalities involved here. On one hand, you've got guys of moderate intelligence who are desperate to be thought of as the smartest guys in the room, and they earn points with their bros by appearing to outsmart a provider. If she gets backed into a corner and says something, she gets penalized. He "wins".
On the other hand, you've got providers here that are advertising their businesses. And in any sort of social media, if you're a business, you've got different constraints than the customers do. Respond to an attack the wrong way, and it will cost you customers.
For the guys, it's all fun and games. For the women, it's their livelihood. Thus the guys can do whatever the hell they please without repercussion, but if a woman responds and puts him down like the little bitch that he his, she's now branded as a ballbuster, and her business could suffer.
It's a no-win situation for providers. They either suck up to these losers (hi, Val!) and become their favorites, or they risk being the object of attack, an attack that they cannot respond to without risking business.
Many choose simply not to participate, and in the current climate, that's probably the smart move for their livelihood. Don't participate, just post your ads, and keep your head down.
In short: "Know your place, woman." Is that what you really want to be seen as leading?
Bullies shouldn't be tolerated. Here they're encouraged. And this is the result.
