I don't see what all the commotion is about. The only substantial difference between Shannon and all the producers of DVDs who have posted their advertisments everywhere is that they are selling a product and Shannon is selling a service. She is not being deceptive in this post, as she lets it be known that there is financial consideration involved. As I recall, at one time she posted in the personals forum without making that fact known up front, as she did here, and was rightly taken to task for it. Since then, as far as I know, there has been no re-occurance. As far as her saying she loves tickling, it is entirely possible that she in fact does, and has seen a market she can tap. Just your basic free enterprise system at work. If you are that put off, if it really bothers you, then simply do not respond to the thread. Members of the TMF have engaged her services and some have posted positively of the experience (there may or may not be others):

If the links do not work, then go to the Video Review and Post Stories forums, do a search using "Shannon" as the keyword, then look for the threads titled "Tickling Session with Shannon of shannonsecret.com" and "Tickled by Shannon Last Weekend !!!!" respectively. They will each be around the middle of the first page.
These, plus other posts on this thread, give more than ample evidence that there may be room on the TMF for a Professional Services forum. It's contents could include, but not necessarily be limited to, advertisements such as the one that started this thread, those threads over the past several months which discussed the BDSM dungeons in Los Angeles and elsewhere that offer tickling among their assorted and sundry services along with TMF members experiences, questions, and other comments regarding them and members of their staff, and those enterprises that offer products such as DVDs and downloads that do not already have their own seperate forum. Moderator input on this last topic requested and encouraged.
