Before I get into the recent posts, I'd like to clarify where I'm coming from. I've helped MM with a couple of issues in the past and have a good relationship with her. I'm not her advocate here. In the past I've seen some of your questions and complaints and brought them to her attention and gotten resolutions in your favor, or at the very least facilitated communications, though there were a couple of cases where the complainant's story didn't hold up.

I've had issues with her as well, but I also know what she's done for me and some of the other guys here to make things right. There was one guy a while ago, off the beaten path from regular session destinations who complained several times about her rescheduling. I asked her about it. She was aware and shortly after drove five hundred miles out of her way and back just for that one session.

I understand the complaints. Yes, cancellations, rescheduling, and letting deposits ride have been happening. She owes me a couple of sessions. I have an idea of what's been going on, and I haven't had to take her word for it. She's sent me pictures, emails, and screen prints in the past. I'm not going to disclose her personal business, but when e_honda said "she's just the unluckiest traveler in human history" he's not far off. Add a couple of unrelated issues and you've got the gist of it.

Not a good situation, but it doesn't add up to scamming. There's a couple of people who don't appear to even be clients of hers who have joined the pile-on for the sheer joy of inflicting harm on someone who's going through some rough times. The common practice of publishing a destination and taking it down before the tour starts when there's not enough interest has become fishing for deposits? Any evidence of that?

I'm responding today because she reached out to me. One of you sent her an email about the one-post guy above who outed her by name in violation of the rules. That post is a flat-out personal attack which I've reported to the mods. I also discussed what's been going on and she apologized for the situation and assured me that she still intends to honor your deposits.
