Turkana has posted a fake review. I think this is not the first time. Hilary

Based on my experience with Hil (and that of many others) Turk must have had an appt with an evil alien who had transformed herself into looking like Hilary, since I know no one would EVER post a fake review on this board.  I'm glad this alien did not trick me.  The Hilary I experienced was one of the best ladies EVER, beautiful both inside and out.

I hope you and Hil figure this out.  
One specific thing in his review was NOT kosher either way.    

Stalking, harrassing and messing with a ladies reputation aren't right.  I thought we'd moved on, apparently not.

I wonder if Kim remembers Turk.  :P

Read the review.  I give lots of leeway for its just having been a bad day or a bad time, and lots of credit for Hilary's otherwise sterling record.  When Hilary PM'd me about it, I asked if it was inaccurate in any way and said I'd correct it.  She didn't respond.  I repeat that invitation.  

Anybody can have a bad day.  But I'm not going to lie in a review.  As for the charge that I've done other fake reviews -- it's not true, and it's a cheap shot.

i can't speak for the veracity of the details of the review (although mentioning children in a review in any context whatsoever would be something i would consider inappropriate).  i can say that when i read this review i was disturbed by the nature of what seemed almost a personal attack on the provider, including a negative comment about the provider's intelligence--this kind of statement would not be something i would expect to find in a review, nor do i appreciate this type of comment--it strikes me as rather gratuitous and mean-spirited.  plus, i don't have much interest in anyone else's estimation of someone's intelligence--i'm more than capable of arriving at my own conclusions about someone's intelligence or lack thereof on my own.  specific behavioral details that would allow someone reading the review to know what to expect from a session would be much more useful than vague statements of personality characteristics or traits.

thanks Sunny! I think Im going to talk to Kim and see how she feels about the "FACTS" in his review of her.....somebody needs another outlet

Put yourself in her shoes, after all her plans went astray and the obvious bad day she was having she did the right thing..  

We all have good and bad days. Hilary is a caring, insightful woman and one of the best provider in MSP. As you state she did her best to keep you informed, shit happens.

Where some would have just blown you off, or made up several stories, Hilary made every attempt to follow up on her obligations.

I applaud Hilary for making such effort to keep her commitment.

While the justification for posting a bad review on a newbie to caution others can be understood. After all, that is what this site is about.  But taking out your frustration on a woman with such stellar consistent reviews was not necessary.

There were several higher roads to take here.

The positive show of support kinda proves this point. I have a disagreement with a provider, but there are two sides to every story and this is not  the place to resolve it.. This falls more under airing dirty laundry than useful information for fellow  hobbiest.  

Love ya Hilary!

I saw the same thing with alistergreen when he had the audacity to comment on kim always being late, This discussion board is a joke, so with that goodbye "discussion board" and Turkana thank you for a HONEST review

It's apparent YMMV played a part in all this.  Sorry, for the jokes, but you are a good diversion today LOL

Having no idea as to what was written, etc., factual accounts of a session are fair no matter if it was a "bad day" or not.  Personal and demeaning attacks take it too far and the reviewer should be moderated both for their reviews and the board.  

Perhaps some may recall an incident not that long ago where a less than positive review was posted and she admitted it was her fault and offered the reviewer a free session.  Everyone has their bad days and she took her medicine - no whining about the bad review but took measures to redeem herself.  Truly the type of professional that sets an example for the others.

" (although mentioning children in a review in any context whatsoever would be something i would consider inappropriate)"

There is a reason 0 tolerance policies do not work.

Honest reviews do not require insulting comments, especially with someone with a decent reputation.
