Granted, I do agree that everyone has a right to their privacy, and everyone should have the freedom to do what they want in private, between consenting adults, UNLESS they are knowingly hurting someone else. Lets take a minute to think about what kind of people these are and if what they were doing is hurtful to others. Like I said before, they probably had wives or girlfriends at home who trusted them, and if that is the case, they should be exposed. Also, what type of person solicits sex from an online ad? These are probably people who take advantage of and dehumanize women, in every day life, they are probably the type who would prey on underage girls, or even of women who are of age, but who are kind and trusting people.

I was involved in a situation with a man who contacted me online, and acted like he was interested in dating me, then it turns out that he was only interested in manipulating me into having online sex with him, and it was very hurtful and confusing to me. I learned later that he was some sort of sex addict and that there are a lot of guys out there who are in relationships yet they secretly will have some weird sex obsession and take advantage of unsuspecting women who are single and lonely.

Instead of directing so much hatred towards Fortuny, I think it would be better directed towards the men out there who have no respect for women, and will manipulate and connive their way into bed with someone with no regard or care for that person’s feelings and no appreciation for how sacred sharing that with someone is. This is actually a form or rape, only instead of physical its a mental and psychic form of rape that can be extremely painful and scarring to a woman. I’m just saying this to make a point, I don’t literally condone any form of hate really. What it comes down to really, Is that its just really sad that the world is like this, that so many people are sad and lonely, its so hard to trust someone, and sex has been turned into something so ugly.

Oh, and how ironic is it that on the other site, where people were posting angry responses to this issue, there is a giant picture of a half naked girl advertising sex?

The Kings County prosecutor won’t press charges (see http://calladus.blogspot.com/2006/09/craigslist-prankster-may-escape-jail.html)

Anyone willing to press charges for civil damages will realize that Fortuny is a self-taught IT “Expert” with no Microsoft qualifications – just a high school diploma. Therefore he’s broke and will only cost the litigants money to sue him.

Those with enough testosterone to want to kick his ass will instead spend their time doing more important things, like having another beer or cruising for chicks. They’ll console themselves by rationalizing that Jason can’t get any chicks.

Fortuny will try to capitalize on his 15 minutes of fame, but he missed the window because he was in hiding during that 15 minutes. He’ll spend the rest of his life trying to do anything that he considers to be as cool, but will instead alienate his groupies due to his crowing over other stupid stunts. Eventually his groupies will grow up and get on with their lives.

Jason will try to go back to college but will drop out due to lack of aptitude, interest, or both. In six months people on the Internet will say, “Fortuny? Oh yea, that guy.” In 2 years people will say, “Jason who?”

Jason’s ego will never let him realize that he’s faded back into obscurity. From now on he’ll tell everyone how famous he is and why.

Nice work! ALso his private domain appears to be down.

I hope this is not some kind of “glitch” that is only happening to me…

Run Coward!!!!!
