Don,t save me!

Allie, I have a very important reply to reinforce what you've said. Since you and alaxe mentioned addictions, and we're not supposed to mention such things according to the Forum Guidelines, I've contacted FireSerpent to make sure my reply is OK before I post it. I hope it is because what's being discussed is of major importance, and people sometimes need to know what is going on outside their comfort zones. These "out-of-the-way" issues are impacting people here because they involve how the public is influenced to perceive the business, namely the equivalence of all the different levels of providers. Organizations like VV, whether they do in fact make a difference, certainly can make a difference for a certain segment of women. Some ladies in the metro are a testament to that. Thanks for your post!

You've got to keep in mind that street walkers do not screen at ALL (to my knowledge) and are more likely to get the clients who will mistreat them and run afoul of pimps and other dangers.

Hugh, I've read through the postings here and find that so far, no one has really crossed the line of the guidelines. But, tread lightly.

And, "Ad Vice" is Administrative Vice and it is a department of the law that deals with illegal underground trafficking.

No, Ad Vice in LA deals with the providers that post ads in the LA weekly & online, & yes VV does primary deal with street walkers & thats probably why I got the cold shouder, also they lied to me I was trying to get the bad client list that they said I could take a look at , Because I gave them the name of a guy in town that cons providers out of money , then he,ll blackmail you, But they seen to only be one way on Info,So I don,t trust them at all!

Those in government love their hookers... til they get caught Twittering their pics or forget to cover up before blowing their load on the "blue dress".

Thanks for the info.. while I do not live in KC.. i love to visit and have met some VERY respectable GREAT gentlemen there. To be forced to agree that all the men are abusive is sad.

+1 I totally agree!

I have never been in the situation myself, but if I ever am, I will play their game, just to get through it. No one really cares what we have to say, how we feel, or how we think...it is all about the numbers...how many girls 'they saved'. Either you can be one of their numbers, or you can be their problem child and you will never get though it.
