Trucker who lived with mother is 'a serial killer who murdered prostitutes'

[Mioux]

That is a good thing, but the point is that we're not in America, so it serves no purpose, please ask for it to be deleted. You are in no danger of being murdered by truckers or anyone else, but escorts are, so please respect an escort asking for you to delete it.


edit: sorry just saw that you said you will ask for it to be deleted, thanks.

It happened in America, if it happened here then it would be a warning and would be appropriate, but there may be irish punters out there who have such fantasies, so lets not feed those fantasies.

Also it made me feel very uncomfortable, and no doubt other girls reading this feel the same, i just have a big gob so i tend to share my opinion about things.

I think you could/should ask for it to be removed.

I don't think this should be deleted, as it's an article about sex work generally. The fact that is isn't in Ireland shouldn't really matter, surely? We've had news reports from other countries (e.g. 9/11 and the Swedish Escorting Laws, etc.) and they've never been retracted for the lack of relevence to Ireland?

I have to disagree Mioux
Its an artical on current news. It is not going to make Irishmen act out any fantasy like that.
I understand you may feel uneasy aboiut it, but my advice is dont read it


If I put up an artical about Ted Bundy would you object?

[Mioux]

My point is that it isn't about escorts safety here, just in America.
Girls reading this may get freaked out in general, just like i did, a little.
I just think its very distasteful

I've PMed the staff to request thread deletion.. although Saoirse's post makes for even for interesting reading guys,
over here in the US, the cops 'patrol' the Punting forums..not (primarily) due to the illegal nature of the game ..but to keep an eye out for lunatics like this psych0-trucker!!

[Lilian]

Dont delete it ! No reason whatsoever to do so ! If its sways one streetworker to go and work in a slightly safer place its great ! If somebody feels scared or discusted , well , sorry , welcome to reality of escorting , thats the danger we face every day ! It doesnt matter if its in US or somewhere else or do you switch channel after seeing the local news at TV ?

Would you feel the same way if it was someone murdering people that didn't happen to be sex workers?

I contacted Samlad to request deletion & will leave it to his discretion as to whatever is deemed best.
But Mioux- with all due respect, you're naive if you think this isn't relevant to Irish sex workers,
I may have lived in New York for some time but I still consume Irish media every day- if you think this isn't possible, I'm guessing you don't look at local news either!
Regarding it being "distasteful"- you're dead right, how else is this type of horror story supposed to be relayed?
I am sorry if I touched a nerve!

[Mioux]

I dont think its appropriate, and that's all i'm saying, i'm not going to get caught in some argument about it.

Others feel the same way but are not saying because they are bloody annoying and don't want to seem to be the od one out.

If escorts put this up in the private escort forum then fine, but no one is discussing the article, at all... we are just discussing whether it should be left up or not.

so off you go.. discuss the article and how it relates to Irish sex workers (besides keeping them up all night worrying about whether their next client will be a rapist/murderer etc etc)

Whoa- I wasn't going to bother with this one anymore but...
Mioux: So it'd be ok for escorts to "put this up in the private escort forum" then it's "fine", but because you think it's inappropriate & the fact that "no one is discussing the article" means it should be off- limits- really??!!??
That's called a double standard. Next time before I ask for a retraction I think I'll wait for cooler less emotional heads to chime in first!
btw- you're factually incorrect in claiming that nobody is discussing the (contents/implications of the) article- it's evident that you haven't actually read it ( & that's your right) ..but if you had, you'd understand what you're saying doesn't make sense!
Perhaps you can coax all your "bloody annoying' sympathisers out of the shadows at some stage ;->
