It is NOT the responsibility of another provider to keep you safe. That is YOUR job. Reference exchange imo is just good manners and can be nice and helpful.....to a degree (we all know sometimes a client can be great to 1 lady and a dick to the next). But it's a courtesy not a right.
It's tacky if the provider I ask for a ref check from doesn't respond but I don't care because I have other ways to screen .... another ho won't stop my dough lol.
The client should probably also know about the unresponsive provider so he can avoid wasting his time trying to use her in the future (and probably avoid seeing her in the future too).

To clarify....
I never said or insinuated that it was another providers 'responsibility' to keep me safe. However, refs are primarily used which 'assist' in keeping us safe.
Obviously there are times when one does not or cannot respond to a ref request for various reasons.
In my situation, which was the premise for this thread originally, the provider refused the newbie to use her as a ref b/c she was mad that he wasn't seeing her again and therefore, was a refusal to assist the newbie or her fellow provider.
