Ouch, the TERBites seem a little harsh on this one.
I think a big difference is, from what I believe Tina is saying, is that she works out of a private residence. I'm assuming that's a home, or apartment, or something where discretion is a little more important than say at a hotel or spa. I personally don't invite escorts to do outcalls at my home because I don't want any weirdos coming back and banging at my door when they need money for drugs, nor do I want their pimps knocking on my door threatening to do things to me if I don't give them money, let alone have them making a big scene where my neighbors are exposed to unseemly behavior. Not that every escort would do that, not at all. But we all know that some of the girls in this business have issues, and you don't know which ones are going to be trouble until you meet them. I value my safety, and I don't invite girls to my private residence. I would imagine any escort inviting clients to hers would want to perform some due diligence.
And what's more, I think I've recently read from respectable TERB members asserting that we, as hobbyists, should start walking out on
bait and switch girls or girls who
don't deliver what is advertised. It goes both ways. As hobbyists, we should be comfortable walking out on girls when the situation doesn't feel right. Similarly, girls should have the option to cut bait when they themselves are getting a bad vibe.
I know so many men and women who have told stories, many of which you can find as threads on TERB, about not following their instincts, only to get robbed by a girl or jumped by a pimp. Situations where if they followed their gut instinct and just turned and left, they could have avoided the harm to which they were exposed.
As far as hoops go, Tina no doubt has lost some customers over it. She has decided that the price of her safety might be missing out on clients who might not like her initial terms. That's her loss, and I doubt she loses that much sleep over it. She's decided her safety and peace of mind is worth the loss. We as hobbyists don't have a right to fuck whoever we want whenever we want under conditions we choose. In my opinion, the women who are willing to work in this profession at all are few and far between, and we should be thankful for the risks they take, and respect the fact that there are certain risks that they won't take.
Last year, an escort was stabbed repeatedly by a john in the Comfort Inn off Hurontario Rd, after which the john lit the body on fire and torched the hotel room. Keep that in mind the next time you want to criticize an escort for being careful about who she brings home to her condo.

Stick to your guns, Tina. Stick to your guns.
