Cat and Mouse

Gang, with all of the bullshit going on lately it's becoming harder and harder to tell the good guys from the bad guys, the good girls from the bad girls. And now that they've turned one of what we thought was our own those lines keep getting more blurred. The thing is, those people who are doing their jobs, i.e. law enforcement can screw up multiple times with little to no consequence. We on the other hand cannot afford to screw up once.

Now more then ever it is critical that we have one another's back. There is no room for any lone wolves right now. None of us are bulletproof. None of us are above the law. Despite how we may feel personally about one another, we cannot let those petty differences cause us to make questionable decisions that not only put us as individuals at increased risk but our community as well.

Let's be honest, we're all outlaws and will remain as such until the day comes, which it will, when our harmless activity is no longer considered illegal in the eyes of the law. Morally questionable, yeah, maybe, but illegal, hardly.

Right now, the bad guys are winning. Traveling ladies are canceling their trips here. Other traveling ladies are simply writing us off and our local ladies whom we should support before all others are feeling the financial pinch.

I don't know what the fuck I'm trying to say other then be careful. If there is even a cunt hair of doubt, a tinge of uncertainty, pull the plug. Variety may very well be the spice of life but right now it seems to also include a trip to the pokey and or a healthy citation followed by Iowa's hard on for public shaming.

Also keep in mind that everything on this board is viewable by those who seek to bring an end to our harmless fun so be careful what you say. It is no secret that law enforcement currently has access to a verified providers account and it would not surprise me in the least if they also had full access on the mens side as well. They're allowed to cheat. We are not.

Be careful out there. Ask questions, and stick with what and who you know.

I guess one question I have is HOW IN THE FUCK can some of the people that have been called out or proven to have worked with LE still be allowed to be on this site?

[livn2do]

Our MODS are looking into that very thing

[hi2uall]

Is it only Alexis or is there multiple providers?

[livn2do]

Just Alexis/Alex

"Proven" is the operative term. We do not disable accounts or ban members based on speculation or accusations. Some modicum of proof is needed to justify a temporary absence for the member's profile in order to be cautious.

That action was taken last night.

The thing is, here right now, 1) being a long standing member means NOTHING and 2) references are useless.....

I disagree. Still plenty of reputable providers to choose from and still some good guys out there.

I haven't had any problems and 2 reputable providers, both of whom are long standing members of this board and local haven't had any issue's either.

As long as you do your homework, you should be fine.

[iris.hart]

I'm saying that because in two, for sure, of these stings, they used verified providers for stings and/or gotten long standing members to help them get other arrests.

Therefore, they gave references that apparently checked out, but still got busted.

Or am I reading these wrong?

And there's far more than just 2 providers who haven't had any issues.

[livn2do]

I could only speak about the providers that I personally see.

You're right about the other part except there is one very, very important part you're missing.

Warnings were issued BEFORE any arrest were made. If people choose not to heed those warnings then they have no one to blame but themselves.

Either way. Be safe.

[iris.hart]

Ok, gotcha. I knew some of the pieces didn't fit!!

Thanks Livin!
