I think this note stream will take off, domiguy. Yes there certainly are those deranged or totally insecure types claiming to be dom women or men who may be using "getting even with xxx " as motivation, but of course there also are those submissives with no self esteem who feel they deserve nothing better than total abuse and disregard and seek this. Unfortunately it seems often either of the above does not find their nature partner in the other group above, but instead takes it upon themself to bond with newbie doms or sub, who then get a very warped idea of what the BD/SM scene is, and who may be quite damaged by this negative connection. One might think that the subs might be most at risk here, but in fact newbie dominants have certainly been scared right out of BD/SM by stuff like this. One reason I always try to persuade new folks to become members of discussion and social groups in their areas is because having a network of friends and sharing thoughts with them can help someone to understand the multitude of choices we really do have. I can remember some traumas in my life that drove me away from the scene for quite some time.
