I would propose that the simpler theory is that OS was targeted for way they operatated. Suggestive advertising, suggesstive signage, and therapist that that great you in super short dressess wearing no panties. I think that might get some attention.
You also have failed to address why other places that have been reviewed here continue to operate.
Does LEO get information off this board? Absolutely. Does that mean they choose which places to raid based on this board. Absolutely not. I believe some of you guys attribute more influence to this board than it really haves. Information on the hot places was spread long before there was an internet.
And on the spread of information, the coded language used here is really pretty pointless. Whether you say 'I dreamed she took me on a tour of the Greek islands' or 'I fucked her up the ass' you have given them same information. If 50 guys had posted 'You guys have to go to OS, they take care of you really well' would anything have been different?
Some guys want to give a blow by blow account of what happened. Some just want 'left happy, would repeat. ' Is one style over the top and the other to vague. Probably. Is there a happy medium somewhere in between? Probably. Will we all agree on where that optimum place is? Probably not.
Can we please just agree to disagree and move on.
[QUOTE=VerySlowly; 1195876]Excellent post!
Some seem to seek extensive data, I stand back and look at the results, as in "Occams Razor" where Occam postulates that the simplest answer is the correct one.
"Scientists must use the simplest means of arriving at their results and exclude
Everything not perceived by the senses."
"When you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better."
So when you have a message board that spews lots of data, LE now has a source of information, there is no other common source of this data, as this information is not commonly spoken of in polite company. LE knows that MP prostitution is difficult to prove but that improper or no license or Fire inspection or Health Dept. Inspection violations are sufficient to solve the problem, even if it is temporary. Since LE has read this " Anecdotal" information repeatedly, Occam says that only an idiot would go to extremes (a big investigation) to achieve the goal of closing the den of inequity when the straight line will achieve the goal. (Simplest answer).
Anyone who looks for complicated answers to simple problems is simply making their thought process more difficult and is in denial of reality. LE operates on a rather simple hypothesis. If it quacks like a duck it is a duck, it might be Gilbert Godfried but if they screw up and their wrong nothing happens to them at all-so why not! Bliss is a good example. Raid+Arrest=Prosecutor has no valid evidence and files no charges (This is called a no information) and the people arrested simply walk out of court, LE has no downside they pat themselves on the back and go back to work, if they had a downside they would not be so quick to pull the trigger with no substantive evidence.
The doubter (SJ) says "OS STUCK OUT" "They operated in a way that drew attention to themselves and paid the price." Did they advertise FS-NO. So I ask again where did LE get their info, AND HOW DID THEY CALL ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES, I'm QUITE CERTAIN I NEVER WOULD HAVE HEARD OF THEM WERE IT NOT FOR THIS BOARD.
Bottom line is they read this everyday and if they can shoot fish in a barrel, they will E. O. S-VS[/QUOTE]
