Not aiming this at anyone in particular and not trying to stir the pot, but it's painfully obvious from some of the reviews and some of the ladies reactions to them that there is a small group of predator hobbiest in our community.  These guys at minimum embelish reviews to get free time on boards and at the other end of the scale they threaten ladies with bad reviews if they don't get what they want.   What I am saying is all of us should be alert to this and call it out when we see it.  These ladies are vulnerable because what they do is on the edge of the legal system and because the put themselves in physically compromising positions.  It takes a real jerk to take advantage of that.  I'd like to say to these idiots, that we, as a community are watching and will call you on any problems we see.  I'd also like to say to the ladies there are some nice guys out there and some of us will help.  Having said all this I'd like to complement the moderators here for keeping this board even.  I understand that moderating reviews is a subjective thing and most of us should be intelligent enough to read between the lines.  Some of our review writers should consider a career in fiction writing.

Ok I'm off my soap box.  I just wanted to say what I said and say thanks to the board and the ladies I have seen and will see.
