John, is this true?

I mentioned that I grew up. Let me explain.
I know of a couple of providers that were beaten up or raped, then I started about thinking about a provider meeting a client for the first time. What were her thoughts, her fears. I would say the majority of us could physically overpower the majority of providers here. It's bad enough that we could overpower them, then you put them in a sexual situation and they are really vulnerable. So, I developed a sense of compassion for them. Not a Paladin (real old member going way back) level of kissing ass, but being polite and dignified to the great majority. Great majority, not all.
Fact is a lot of providers aren't posting any more, outside of ads. Now why would that be? How about the fact that they've been run off. Does it tell you something that there are more than 500 providers that have a showcase in the Houston forums, yet how many of them post in the GD forum on a regular basis? And why don't they post?
