Craigslist Fires Back Over Adult Services Accusations
Craigslist has fired back at South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster in an open letter defending the company's policies and procedures surrounding the much debated "adult services." Stating not only the measures that have been taken to minimize illegal behavior, CEO Jim Buckmaster suggests that Craigslist is doing much better at minimizing questionable ads than other major competitors like Yahoo!, Google, and others. "Mr McMaster, I strongly recommend you reconsider and retract your remarks, and positively affirm that you have no intention of launching criminal investigations aimed at any of these upstanding companies, because in truth none of them are deserving of such treatment. [...] We're willing to accept our share of criticism, but wrongfully accusing craigslist of criminal misconduct is simply beyond the pale. We would very much appreciate an apology at your very earliest convenience. As I'm sure would all of the other fine companies whose executives you've called out as criminals."
...but I'd be willing to bet that South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster has had some direct personal experience with these so called "Adult Services". Perhaps even through Craigslist?
Like I said, it's just a hunch.
Authority questions you. Return the favor.
Governor's Manson? Is that any relation to Charle's Manson?
The CB App. What's your 20?
So what are some other sites that the AG should try to take down for prostitution?
Purely for sake of argument of course. cough cough
If it was a free service, it wouldn't be illegal.

And the other 10% won't get much repeat business!
Hah hah. That's cute. Talgrath thinks 10% of escorts just talk and go to parties with you.

The problem with politicians is, well, that they exist as a profession.
It's not just that. As world's second oldest profession, they have a lot in common with the oldest profession. Politicians and whores go together like, well, like Spitzer and Dupré!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Silly AG, don't you know that a well-educated populace would never fall for such a thing?
Lucky for this guy that he's running in South Carolina then, eh?
Craigslist has the support of the people. Why wouldn't they? It's free, has no ads, and always works as promised.
If it really had no ads, I don't think that could be described as "working as promised"... ;-P
"don't you know that a well-educated populace would never fall for such a thing"
You do realize that we're talking about South Carolina don't you?
By attempting to reason with unreasonable people and failing by talking to unreasonable people about being reasonable to otherwise reasonable people who are behaving unreasonably about a reasonable situation, you provide - hang on my head fell off...
