Im not invested either way as I've never met either the punter or the girl in question so just making an observation
Me neither.
One thing I've always noticed on this site is that more often than not we will just take the word of other punters on a positive review, but write a neg (particularly on what seems to be a popular girl) and people are demanding granular detail or its written off as bullshit. I don't understand why we don't scrutinise all reviews that way if that's they type of proof we want before believing them.
Nah.
I think that there are lots of cases where a fluffy review has been called out. But similarly there has to be a recognition that a career or reputation can be destroyed by a suitably damning review...especially as there will be plenty of folks prepared to comment on someones review of an SP who has at somepoint advertised BB.
There is also the matter of folks that seemingly want to attract specific attention to their reviews. Both to positives and to negatives. I think when this happens there is also extra scrutiny on them and a cynical eye applied.
Here I just found it odd that the OP seems to apply a kudos and influence to UKP that is rarely suggested by posters here. The suggestion of leverage through this site be it either Punter or SP lead is a flag too. Also I never believed the journos in the News of the World made their excuses and left, I find it difficult to believe the response he gave in his post.
Fuck if I had the horn enough to get to the punt handed over the cash and was offered BB, I'd turn it down, but I would get a handjob for my money. I can understand some asking for their money back. But to come over all outraged, try to give some serious life lessons before leaving just sounds like utter bollocks.
