This board just like any other regional board goes in streaks. There have been a lot of issues some very recent and many more spanning over time that have brought this board to its current status.

Many are afraid to venture out with all the BS and issues out there.  A lot of people have a lot to loos is they are "outed" or if their personal information if miss used.

Your task will be to find a moderator that is both fair and understanding and knowledgeable to our local scene in Minneapolis.

PM me if you want further information.

Some of us stay under the radar under "normal" circumstances; events such as the past few weeks encourage that trend even more.  Who needs more drama?

I don't know the truth about all the disputes that have roiled this community lately and I'm certainly not going to point any fingers.  All of us in this little community have a vested interest in keeping things under control and on an even keel lest we attract unwanted outside attention.  Some of us don't seem to understand this and it seems to me we have become somewhat split into factions, and I don't necessarily mean just providers vs hobbyists either.  We've had providers retire abruptly.  I've heard of long established, well thought of providers complaining their business is way off.  I had a talk recently with a new local provider who doesn't understand why she can scarcely get any business at all.  Some agencies have stopped sending their ladies here or have cut way back.  I think a lot of people are nervous because there is nothing to say it won't get worse.  There are times when I wonder if I shouldn't dig a hole and pull it in after me for a few months and then check back to see if sanity has been restored.  All of us should take a good long look at our behavior and think about whether or not what we have done is really in all of our best interests.

here or privately.

M is de-listed, so she may not promote herself here, and discussions of her are discouraged.  From now on, let's keep this drama off the boards and have fun here.
