A fellow Hobbyist and myself both contacted a provider we know on "The List". This provider based on our direct knowledge between us and other hobby friends does not provide this service.
We believe her response to very spot-on and worthy of reading.

Thank you so much for the head's up. I've heard before that I am on a list but don't think I can do anything about it. .... What's funny to me is the people that participate in BBBJs that look down on people that do BBFS. Is everyone really that stupid to think they are safe with BBBJ but not BBFS? Get real. One has a higher risk, but the other isn't risk free.
I didn't even read the thread ... because quite frankly ... I have no respect for ECCIE. I rarely get on there and do so only to update my showcase or answer occasional mail. I dislike rumors and gossip because I have been a victim of them more than once. I have haters out there I know for certain. I guess it's because I enjoy my job and willing to go the extra mile that some girls are too lazy or selfish to do. The "extra mile" does NOT include BBFS but people want to believe the worst that's said about others and rarely bother with the truth.
So, my reputation suffers because of the laziness and jealousy of others. Pfft. I used to lose sleep over it and damn near quit at one time because of it. I've since come to understand that I can't do anything about haters and lies spread about me so I won't give them the satisfaction of quitting. People that already know me realize they are lies and still see me. If others choose not to see me because of what they've read about me then they are closed minded and I don't want to see them anyway. I can't change what's been said about me so I try not to let it upset me since there is nothing I can do. I've heard directly from other providers things they don't want everyone to know but won't stoop to the level of announcing it to the public or anyone else for that matter. I know the meaning of discretion and won't lower myself trying to ruin other peoples' reputations. Like yourself, I feel what happens between 2 people is their business. I think providers personal lives should remain private too but understand that's not the way it is. I'm learning more all the time and trying to make fewer mistakes.
I've only had a couple of clients try to convince me to do BBFS with them but was very firm in my refusals. No one else gives me any trouble when I reach for a condom. So, it is what it is and it's just another thing I have to deal with. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know what's been written/said about me. If I could do something about it I would. Since I can't, I won't let it get me down. The truth doesn't matter to some people. It does matter to me, so I take every rumor I hear with a grain of salt and try to keep an open mind.
