WOW. This is way out of hand. Now let's everyone pull our big boy and girl pants up and be rational. First, this a free world where we still get to pick and choose who we want to be with or not be with. I have heard of people with good references that checked out, but the provider just didn't feel comfortible with and did not agree to the encounter. That's her choice. Ranting and raving about it isn't gonna get you far either.
Now as for Ginger, you should probably handle it a little more civil on the boards. Not that you didn't have a right to reject his screening, but maybe not have called him out so harshly as a lyer.
I agree 100% with the reference check. We do the same by reading the reviews of the providers. Anybody who post a review is just like a screener for that provider.
In ending this, I have never heard of a serial killer provider, but there have been plenty of ladies that have fallen victom to crazy ass clients. So with that said, you are both right and wrong in the way you handled it on the boards. So burry the hatchet because life goes on.
