This is one of the most one sided piece of so called journalism I have read in a long time. Craigs list is nothing more than a classified, just like the post, chronicle or any other news paper.

Answer any ad from any media and proceed by going to an unknown persons home---you are asking for trouble. It's not just Craig's list! If this is the case we need to do away with the personal ads in our local newspapers, the matchmaker sites on the web. There are some bad people out there and it doesn't matter how you find them! Come on folks, lets us some common sense here! Never go it alone.
