all I can say in respond to all of this is... wow.
Ms. E. I've read your threads and your previous posts. I understand that from your perspective you're doing everyone a service and alerting other members a potential LE threat. However, I would say that bring it once is enough and by continually degrading a former provider who no longer is in your city makes me wonder if you have other motivation and motives?
Not all of us men are idiots, we can read for ourselves and come to our own conclusions. Yes, some of us are biased towards Monet because some of us are her former clients. Reality is, she went through hell. We can sympathize and empathize with that. Most of us agree that she should be left alone to pursue her new life and new endeavors. She's trying to get out early in life so that this "game" won't affect her for the rest of her life, and I hope one day for her sake that Monet never comes back. I myself have been in the hobby for 20 years and I know how hard it is to quit (though I've been sober for 3 months and hope to stay that way- that's a different story). My point is, if you've been in the business for so long, where's your heart in helping someone who is younger that went through a traumatic experience? Where is your empathy for a younger provider?
Others in this thread have articulated responses in ways that are far more objective than mine. I have to agree at this point that it seems like you're kicking a person that's down. I don't know you personally, but you present yourself to us that you're a classy and intelligent person, so why bother being condescending on us? What have we ever done to you other than bring you occasional business?
You say Monet turned others in to save herself? Fine, but you would too if it ever comes down to that. Let's not fool ourselves here. You post your information to do other members service and was probably expecting gratitude and appreciation, but instead, this whole thread's been turned into a reality TV show starring... well, you.
I got no qualm or beef with you Ms E., but I learned from early on that we are supposed to help people that are down, not spit on them and boast how much better we are than the person that's down.
My suggestion is that since you have a set life with 4 weeks of vacation a year and a steady income of 15 guys a month, why not just do your own thing and let others do what they do? What are you getting out of all of this, except more attention to your name? Is this an advertising ploy?
Anita, nice "ad" to break things up, that made me laugh!
Fellow guys, can we all just drop this now please?
Monet, go live your life. Find your happiness.

though both beliefs are revealing about the attitudes of the person who holds them, at least the former is laughable...
and seriously, enough with the outpours of sympathy. have you actually read the criminal complaint? the only "victim" here (real or potential) is the member who does not know this information so they can make an informed decision because no one else other than myself feels it is in their best interests to raise awareness about these facts pertaining to a specific provider.
again, lots of attitudes both good and bad revealed by members who responded in this thread as well as by the people who were only willing to say something to me privately.
the outrage is entirely misdirected and as questionable as my motives are suggested to be by, oddly enough, the people who seem most outraged that one provider is sharing information instead of that a provider with serious ongoing LE issues is still advertising and putting other members at risk by doing so.
you may care only about yourself or perhaps also your favorite provider, but i don't.
