"Along with the message, he sent his picture, which the tranny verified"
"Tranny"? Maureen just couldn't write "transvestite" one more time? Tranny is just such a hateful word to use. Try harder, Maureen, try harder to avoid the fail.

I think the younger someone is, the more likely they are to post too many details, not realizing it matters.

Additionally, at least two college friends knew who I was by virtue of my commenting style alone.
At this point, I'd like to send a big shout out to all of my friends and family members who may or may not be reading this.

Advertising on craiglist carries a lot of stigma from other workers. No one is proud of it, and most women would choose other venues could they afford them or have access to them or if they knew about them.
Significant numbers of women are able to avoid street work or going through low-end agencies by placing their own ads on craigslist. Advertising through craigslist is not the ideal, but it's a lot safer than street work and allows more control on the woman's part than a crummy agency would.
It's not like craigslist, a business, has any kind of real responsibility to give these women a place to advertise, but the idea that eliminating erotic services makes the women who'd been advertising there safer is BS. It will have absolutely the opposite effect because while some of the women will migrate to Eros guide, or backpage, some will just go back on the street, or hook up with exploitative agencies.

This is the fault of craigslist erotic services listings, a kid beats his mom to death after an argument about his grades because she shouldn't have put so much pressure on him, and Columbine was Marilyn Manson's fault.

No, the problem, and the relevant bit, is that some asshole decided to kill people. Assholes have been doing this long before there were Internets. Removing one part of the site is just going to piss off a whole bunch of innocent, legit people. It's not going to stop the real assholes.
