A few days ago, I spoke with a provider who is new to escorting and new to this site. Generally I don't like relating second hand information, but since she is new the last thing she needs is to have her first exposure on this site surrounded by drama.
She was extremely upset, and didn't know what to do about an experience she had. Petruchio had called her up, told her he was an ECCIE Reviewer, and wanted to meet her to "discuss the review process". When he arrived at her incall, he started getting undressed. When she protested, he asked her how she wanted her review to go. A pretty good indication that a refusal on her part would result in a poor review. So, she agreed and sex was exchanged, but no money. And yes, a review was written.
The above is an almost word for word account of what she told me. If I had any doubts about her story, Petruchio was kind enough to remove them with his "amusing exchange" post. If he presented himself as an "ECCIE reviewer" to one girl, its fair to assume he's used the same line on others. Perhaps the reason his exchange with "not Corin" went downhill is because his first attempt at a free fuck went awry. Who knows.
I know some women choose to offer specials or discounts in exchange for a review. Although I don't agree with the practice, it is the provider's prerogative to do so, and if gentlemen choose to take advantage of a discount offered by a provider, there is nothing wrong with that. But there is absolutely no excuse for a hobbyist (I use the term lightly) preying on women who are new to this occupation and who don't know the ropes yet in order to get free sex.
Petruchio, you aren't the hobby police, you damned sure don't speak for other hobbyists, and you damned sure don't represent this website. What you are is a predator, preying on naive girls who don't know any better. You have abused their trust, you abused the integrity of the review process, and you have absolutely no credibility as a reviewer.
I wrestled with whether I should have posted this in Infoshare only, or whether to post it publicly. Maybe this should have gone in Infoshare, I don't know. The community can decide whether this was the right way to handle this. I decided to post it here because the women who need to read this are the newbies who don't have access to Infoshare yet. Also, I thought it was important to send the message that representing himself as an "ECCIE Reviewer" does not mean he represents this site, or this community. Lastly, I felt that other hobbyists should be aware of his actions so that they can decide for themselves how much credibility his reviews should have.
As with most issues, this comes down to he said/she said. Petruchio is more than welcome to respond with his side of the story. For my part, the provider in question had nothing to gain by telling me about her experience, and I have no reason to doubt her. Petruchio's witch hunt like obsession with fake pics, despite writing a glowing review for a woman using fake pics, along with how he presented himself to the "not Corin" girl give me every reason to believe the provider's story.
I've said my piece, now let the chips fall where they may.
