I didn't see Lucy saying what you seem to think she was saying.

I don't have a problem with you quoting Lucy's posts. That is what she actually said. But posting your interpretation of what you feel she may have been suggesting here is not so fair I think.

Forgive me Patricia but this forum thrives on suggestive posts, LOL

The fact that you had to track back five pages on this thread to retrieve a quote by LC (to which your reply has been removed) suggests that you may be a nutter or a creep (or both).

Get over yourself and show some respect..........

The gardai "visited" 22 properties in Carlow town. One of which is next door to my mothers and owned by a solicitor .

Was chatting to him tonight and he told me what the gardai told him , pretty much that this was an island wide clamp down to discourage the sex trade !!!

To make matters worse for the gardai ,they mistook his address for a similar address on the other side of the town. So he was not their target at all.

Yet another case of An Garda Siochana becoming deeply confused about the different forms of soliciting I suppose?

22 properties in carlow town yet theres never any more than 10 girls advertising for there if your lucky
i doubt that figure is acurate

Well just because there not advertising here doesnt mean there arent more than 10 girls working in Carlow. Its the exact same in Liemrick there are currently like 40 advertising on this but I know 110% that there are more

James while I agree largely with the tenor of your point you are falling into the same trap that most others are. The paranoia or whatever you want to call it does not involve illegality or committing a crime, if what apples says is true then it bears out my earlier points - the info gathered will be used a leverage. Anyone involved in this industry, provider or client is more prone to leverage as the opprobrium of society is a very big stick and I contend no police force is going to overlook such a big stick.

Maybe Doodles, maybe not....

You have been warning of the detriment of collected ‘evidences’ by the Gardai over the past few days… do you know something concrete or is it just conjecture.. spit it out lad if you do.. Otherwise don’t be scaremongering and making a nervous public even more nervous… tis bad for business…

Pat...can Jim2times last 2 posts go away? I am not comfortable with the direction he is taking AT ALL. It seems to involve a wooden spoon and a crack pipe to me.

The "ladies who service" you?!!! Are you a freakin' washing machine?

And yes, I am a moron; damn proud of it too - it's taken me years to hone my moronic antics and repartee so thanks for taking note and affirming my efforts.

OK, I have not really been paying too much attention over the past 24 hours but catching up on this thread has led me to one conclusion...one item taken by the raids was respect....Respect is a multi directional thing and we should remember that. So lets all take a step back and have restore our respect. Clients respect escorts, escorts respect clients, posters respect other posters. Respect means accepting that while we might have a different view on a situation the other viewpoint is valid and genuinely held. None of us know exactly what happened in each and every raid/welfare visit or what the medium term effect will be, that having been said we can speculate from our own viewpoint. Escorts have reacted in different ways, some applaud the initiative some were spooked, all valid viewpoints. Clients too reacted differently, some laugh it off, some are afraid they may be compromised etc, all of these viewpoints are in my opinion genuinely held and worthy of all our respect. So can we all now start to allow each other the space to have our viewpoints and get back to proper respect between all users of this site.

Sermon over.
