So, who has decided to pick a fight with the not to see girls?
I saw that ad too....what was that all about?
FWIW, if anyone is interested, I can guarantee you that list was NOT compiled by nor was that "advertisement" placed by Chuck that many of you knew from Plaza Escorts . . . personally, I find the "advertisement" in extremely poor taste . . . I suppose that comment will land me in the "do not see" category the next time the ad is updated, if it is still there . . I would encourage anyone to report the posting as inappropriate or miscategorized. Backpage isn't a "review" Website, of those there are a plenty. In the past, backpage.com has been very proactive in pulling postings of this nature - in one instance, they responded to a flood of complaints by making the poster's email address and name public in their blog in an incident similar to this that occurred in another city. "Chuck" would do well to keep that in mind, especially if they out his identity through a DMCA request (those photos are copyright of their owner or the photographer whether "Chuck" believes them to be or not and they are subject to DMCA takedown notices and their use is actionable) or if someone catches wind back channel of who "Chuck" is, I'm sure he'll land on every Escort / provider's "do not service" list, regardless if they made the top of his "list" or not . . .

, I can't argue on his recommended choice of Sasha though. She's one great dream!

More to this chapter as according to Chuck...he will keep his recommendations updated.

One thing is for certain, it will be an interesting next few days. Would not be surprised if this makes BP go the way of CL. I am making some popcorn and will sit by and read. Nah, maybe a dream first...

Already two providers that have responded to his ad. Looks like Chucky is going to start a shit-storm on BP. Grab a bag of popcorn, sitback, and enjoy the show

He's well within his right to post whatever he wants, after all he paid for the ad. But as usual, it's all subjective and he really doesn't provide anywhere near enough information for a hobbyist to make an informed decision.

I'm so glad I found ASPD, and now ECCIE as well as a few other sites some fellow providers and hobbyist have informed me about.

You may find the terms and conditions of classified advertisements placed upon the Backpage.com service here.

Do you have links to the responses, Ampad? That would be awesome!

As per my comment about him being able to post whatever he wants, that was more in the sense of "freedom of speech", so don't read into it too much

Actually, there is a huge difference between "free speech" and "commercial speech" . . . See this link.

Only commercial speech that is neither false nor misleading is fully protected speech . . . but lower courts are ruling otherwise . . .

Thanks for the links and that will end my "reading in" too much. Now, where's my popcorn . .

I also seen the add yesterday, it's gone today.

Backpage doesn't issue refunds for listings that violate their TOS and they'll win a chargeback request by keeping a copy of the "ad" and presenting it to his credit card company if he disputes the charge. I suppose in his mind, the money was worth it.

What is funny about this exchange are the two replies. His attack was removed and the only things telling viewers that the girls may be less than stellar are their answers.
