Only thing that comes to mind is to simply ignore it and stop responding to his taunts and lies. These bashers are so stupid and transparent that most people see through them anyway. And their small minds usually get bored and move on if they stop getting a response from you.

ADVICE...

Hello Ava,
Sinced you asked... here is my advise.

1. Network with local providers in regards to "this guy". They should be warned and may be able to provide usefull advise, besides if your going to be staying here you should try to be an active part of the local community.

2.Be a little patience in finding out what advertising and where to advertise that works best for YOU. IMHO "other ways" will work in the long run and you will have to decide if cl is the way for you or not. IMHO advertising on phoenix411 was a good decision.

3. This forum is the most active for Phoenix that I am aware of so your side of things and request for advice has been heard.

4. Ava, please do not be offend for me reminding you that you need to be confident that you are in control of this situation. One or even two negative opinions will not ruin your business, but might temporarily effect it. Simple continue to be an excellent provider, providing satisfaction, and your reputation will be undamaged. You are in control, your actions are what is important, not "this guy's" opinions.

5. You need to give everyone who posted their advice in this thread a special discount to come see you to confirm our positive impressions of you.
(Please don't be offended for a working class hobbyist for asking... I was almost a gentleman up to this point.LoL)

Best regards and wishes... hope we have the opertinity to meet some day

Escorting is legal but blackmail is not.
