To all those who "took umbrage", I think you misinterpreted my comments. Obviously, it's rare that previously well behaved hobbyists change into assholes. But what I said is you never know when, i.e., it's pretty hard to predict.
I know 3 providers who saw the guy that murdered a provider in Austin last year. They saw him multiple times and had no problems vouching for the guy.
Another provider I know recently had a longtime client attempt to force bbfs (he didn't get away with it because she had a weapon in reach). But the point is, he had never shown any signs of this kind of behavior before. Last year my sister vouched for a guy who beat the crap out of the provider who accepted my sister's vouch. She felt guilty but never had any inkling that he was capable of such a thing.
You don't read the providers private area so I'm sure you are unaware of a lot of these incidents.
I'm sorry to those I offended.
