Is it proper to give someone a bad review

[seeme]

I have some information about an escort who works DC and other areas that is alarming. He is a dangerous guy. His reviews on this site and others are always glowing. My times with him were good but it's information about him that could possible put someone in danger. This not a health issue although i am getting tested for STDs. Should I keep that type of information to myself and let the man continue his business or put out a warning but I have no way to prove it's factual. And others may find such a post inflammatory about him. I have no intentions of ever being associated with him. He is a talented grifter. Advice

Newbie, I assume you are registering with a new name here to protect yourself from any incrimination or push back.

 

It is proper - if you met the guy and the time together was negative - to give a negative review, but if it is one of the flavor of the month guys... be wary of being attacked from all sides by his cheerleaders. You have to weigh that factor in - and be ready for the push back when it (inevitably) comes. That said, you are apparently on thin ice because you want to warn us about something that you admit openly "I have no way to prove it's factual." Which then begs the question, how do we know to believe you? If in fact you cannot prove what you want to say or corroborate it, why bother posting?

 

You refer to "times" with him - so you met him more than once. What kind of danger can he put one into? Physical? ID theft? Blackmail? Drugs? Maybe you should carefully add some more hints (definitely w/o the name) and then ask again for advice.

A bad review is always appropriate if it is based on your actual experience.

 

But information about him that is not based on your time with him should not be included in a review. If you obtained the information from someone else, then suggest to the other person to submit a review based off of his experience.

you are absolutely right I shouldn't have been so vague. Yes I did meet him more than once and I like him. It is ID theft and to prove it I would have to reveal myself and I am not willing to do that. He is physically dangerous also he has nothing to lose. So I answered my own question. I think I just needed to voice it.

I am going to write this with as much care as I can. In my defence let it be noted that I just had dinner and a gorgeous drink was pushed against me and with me not being a drinker... I will blame newbie drunkard haze for this post.

 

I have re-read both your posts a few times and I can't stop thinking that they have all the classic elements of a perfect gossip rag blind item. It demands your attention, it invokes fear, it asks for participation and appeals to the good in everyone. At the same time it is very vague... making it impossible to know who it refers to... while being specific enough so it is very possible to infer who it speaks of but still marring a couple innocent escorts' reputations. It reminds me of what Lord Business tells the bad cop in the Lego movie: "It's nothing personal; it's just business".

 

But again I am just a drunk ho.

 

If you indeed met a thoroughly well reviewed escort who stole your identity and is physically dangerous (I am trying to imagine what this means; I will assume he attacked you) then of course my suggestion would be to go to the police at once. These are very serious allegations. I imagine, however that if you go through the official avenues and let law enforcement make this man pay for his offence, if you present Daddy with the evidence of this man's misdeeds, I don't see why you would not be allowed to write a first person account of a dangerous man's infractions.

 

It is your civic duty to first take him to the authorities and then alert your peers.

 

Adriano mentions you should be ready for backlash if it results this is a well liked guy. If he actually committed a crime, I say fuck'em! I don't care if it is Me, a seven times winner escort of the year or Madonna herself, if something actually happened to you directly, first person and not through the grapevine, then let people know.

 

If this, however, is to remain in the realm of "I posses secrets in my pocket that would shock and disgust the masses" then I personally find your post hurtful and offensive.

 

Let me recap. If this happened to you, I am sincerely sorry and hope your will get reparations soon and that you will give us clear, concise facts so that we can keep that in mind.

 

If you are just willing to write a blind item and drag it d nauseam, I would like you to realize that this is hurting many innocent and loving escorts that you have with one single vague broad brush made contemptible.

 

I sincerely hope lady justice will prevail.

 

Best wishes to all.

If the escort in question attempted to steal your identity you should report it to local law enforcement. Having been through the nightmare of a former friend try to steal mine, I know what a daunting task it is to restore a reputation. If you were victimized, get a copy of your credit report and monitor it regularly for at least one year.

Yes Juan in the morning light you are right

I should had delete this post when I decide against specifics. I had spent the day reporting it to the authorities and that is were justice will be severed. However, for a glimmering moment, thought I wanted revenge but also felt uncomfortable with it. Once I saw my motive was revenge and knowing that isn't good to act that way. I retreated . I apologize to all who were offend by my post and in the light of day I can see where it would be offensive.

Applause for your insight and action today seeme....and as usual, Juan's kind and diplomatic approach is the voice that carries the day. Kudos to you both....

Excellent move - another congratulations for your decision, as difficult as it was for you. Hopefully taking the higher road over revenge will help you.

I am so proud of you! How often men in similar circumstances avoid involving the authorities because of fear of being exposed, which is what criminals benefit from. I can only imagine it took guts to explain the whole thing.

 

I sincerely hope fairness will prevail, and I would like to suggest to post a detailed review as long as you can provide Daddy with proof. (We don't need to see any proof ourselves so you would not be exposed at all).

 

Big hug to you!

These are my sentiments as well. If your time with him has been nothing but positive and above board, keep the negatives to yourself unless they transpired with you!

Very happy to hear that you have taken the decision to report the matter to the authorities.

 

The whole situation is a reminder to us all that one has to always be careful and vigilant.
