Providers, how do you handle it when an ex frequent client who knows you well and now is threatening to turn you to LE or use TER discussion board and PM to ruin your reputation?

The danger of seeking GF from GFE.  My ATF is harrassed by a delusionary guy who can't get love/obsession reciprocated.  And she is in extremely vulnerable position.

Just keep on doing what you do and don't give anyone power over you.  As upsetting as it is when some psycho wants to try to "ruin" you, its an unrealistic goal on their part.  They are simply wasting their time and blowing off hot air.  Look at Austin and Bridgette in San Diego...its all over the net that they are ROBs.  Its been well-documented for years and still they are in business.  They haven't changed their names and they have not hidden.  They continue to thrive.

There are far more clients out there than those who read the discussion boards.  Your provider-friend will continue to work no matter what some ex-client says about her.  

From my own personal experience, I recall when a moderator from another now-deceased website intentionally posted the most horrible things about me.  I didn't run.  I didn't hide.  I waited it out.  And you know what happened?  It was during a time when all the girls were complaining that they weren't working and thanks to this unwarranted "bad" publicity, my phone rang off the hook!  I was booking 3 to 5 a day and taking them all because I wasn't sure when my last client would be my last.  It was my best month ever and I laughed at this clown all the way to the bank.

I learned a valuable lesson.   Stand strong and "this too shall pass".   Never give a weak person power over you.  Hope this helps!
