Re: It's ironic

So we can add your misunderstanding of the words "irony" and "volition" to your list of cognitive shortcomings, along with your insistence on severely missing the point.  Let me see if I can reword it in a way that you can grasp.  If this doesn't sink in, then I'm really at a loss for how to paraphrase it, as I've never taught a remedial class before:

It wasn't a question of how agencies actually operate, it was a question about how clients feel they should.  Being deluded (I'm assuming that this is what you meant by "delutional") would mean that people actually feel that agencies regularly practice one thing, when in fact they don't.  This is quite a different matter than asking what people feel that reality SHOULD be.  See?  

Now if you feel that it takes journalistic expertise to grasp such a simple concept, you're very much out of your league in this thread, and should refrain from further comment.  I'd be delusional (make note of how I used it correctly here), however, to expect such an ignorant person to stay within the realm of his intellectual limitations.  It should be quite interesting to watch you outdo yourself.  Please do go on...

There was a post about an agency getting busted on the Atlanta board followed by inferences that the owner is lying about what happened.  It got me thinking, and I wanted to do an informal poll here:  As a client, what do you feel is an agency's obligation is in notifying clients about involvement with LE?  Has anyone ever known an agency to be honest about such things?

I'm not naive, but my stance is that an agency should at least privately inform regulars about an arrest, and provide some assurance that they've taken steps to prevent repeat occurrences.  Let the client take the information and decide for himself what he wants to do as far as repeat business is concerned.  

What do you think?

All they want to do is minimize their exposure by playing ball with LE.  If they told me they'd "taken steps" I'd assume it meant only to protect themselves and I would stay far away from them.

...if at all possible you/I will never know anything about it.

any information about an ongoing police investigation could result in additional charges for obstruction of justice and related hindering prosecution offenses. See the post last week about the lawyer who helpfully warned a lady she was under surveillance.

That was informative.  Let me ask you (I'm guessing you're an expert in legal matters given some of your previous posts):  Would simply informing clients that one of the agency's employees was recently arrested be tantamount to hindering prosecution?

'what is an agency's obligation is in notifying clients about involvement with LE?'

You're taking a poll on that?

Are you interested in finding out the stupidity level of the respondees? Or how much delution and denial you can get people to admit to on this board?

There is NO 'honor among thieves' Mr. I'm-so-naive-and-so-live-in-a world-contructed-inside-my-own-head-that-I-... oh, nevermind.

Your stance is moot. And foolish.

We are 'programmed', if you will, for self-preservation. In the fracus, the only obligation anyone has is to maximize their own safety.

People may put their life on the line for a number of more noble reasons, but this situation you refer will elicit absolutely no benevolence.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. And naive.

that you told me to take a look at what I asked and then go on to answer a question that I never I posed.  The question wasn't "what is an agency's obligation is in notifying clients about involvement with LE?", it was "what DO YOU FEEL is an agency's obligation is in notifying clients about involvement with LE?" The solicitation of opinions and discussion (gasp) is what I was after.  If you need to have that explained, then you're not capable of absorbing words presented in plain English...which means your take on the subject likely isn't very informed and not worth considering.  

So since you flunked at the comprehension aspect of this post, maybe you excel in other things; like defining imaginary words.  Words like, "delution."  What does that word mean in your language, Dr. HalfWit, err HalfHour?

The operative phrase was "You're taking a poll on that?" Give that one a think, Forest Gump.

A "POLL" is a question. Thats shows my response was about YOUR question, See how that works?

YOU have a problem with comprension-- at anything above a 10th grade level.

Following that first phrase was this one:

"Are you interested in finding out the stupidity level of the respondees? Or how much delution and denial you can get people to admit to on this board?"

Again, is a direct reference to your request eliciting responses ON HOW PEOPLE FEEL.

Dry your sobbing eyes, unbunch your panties and read it again. The style chosen by me was volitional. It will not be at standard newpaper journalism level.

The next portion of the reply is a comment on the pointlessness of asking people what they feel on this matter.

Calm down, reread it. You'll get it. Eventually. Maybe. Maybe not.

Also, you have misused the term irony.

Oh, brother! A big mouth who rides the short bus.

I got the point the first time.

The point is idiotic.

Your question is foolish.

I can think of nothing more ridiculous than asking how people FEEL that an escort agency should act toward its clients, when the agency runs afoul of the law for activity it engages in with those clients. Especially when this activity is considered by many law enforcement agencies to be a ongoing criminal enterprise.

No matter how many words you throw at it, no matter how many new paths of immaterial rationale you try to travel down, no matter how carefully you construct pseudo-arguments claiming I didn't understand the original point, you are still wrong.

Wrong. wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

I got your moronic point the first time, and I still say you asked a stupid fucking question.

How clear is my answer to you THERE?

Good luck on that one!

"..provide some assurance that they've taken steps to prevent repeat occurrences."

Maybe in an alternate uninverse!

LMFAO! Great post! Great sense of humor! ;)

When an agency gets busted, the owners are in hot water over their heads usually, and notifying clients is not at the top of their priority list.  Personally, if I were a client of these organizations, I would keep my eyes open, and avoid them if there were any hint of LE activity.  If you read or hear something in the news, move on!

The agency owner will be too busy covering his ass, shutting the business down to protect it & trying to portect his assests including his contact list & other agency providers.  It will not be business as usual BECAUSE he must assume that the girl busted will give some information on the agency or the Police may discover it in their investigation (say from her phona, laptop, appointment book, or slips of note paper in her trash can.  

If an agency gets busted, best stay far away & wait for the dust to settle.
