There has to be more to the story of how she got to that point.
If a 2nd lady were to have experienced the same thing now.... it would not bode well at all...
What say you Ladies of ECCIE? Anyone out there that has experienced JJ soliciting a free session that is willing to step up here publicly?
Or any other member? Step up and tell your story....

Second, I'm having difficulty reconciling both stories... We as hobbyists are never supposed to discuss $, especially in a providers presence. I can see how JJ may have been trying to educate her... At this point, they have been total strangers. Not sure how he would have found out her donation otherwise, though.... Classic chicken or the egg question? Like whispers said, if the topic of $ comes up after seemingly agreed upon, I'm out.
She didn't have a showcase to post services and availability... But they had communicated? Did he assume from some part of the conversation that she was on board with a quid pro quo to expedite verification? This isn't the first time we've seen new providers post in welcome thread a discount for verification or for reviews... A provider saying out loud (as she admits) "no money no a$$" would result in me walking out... But I'd have known the donation up front....
Just some thoughts...
