As sorry as I am that people have made decisions that resulted in them being hurt emotionally and financially, I just don't see that airing laundry like this does much good. It's embarrassing to be scammed, to have one's emotions used as weapons against oneself. It's humiliating to be "taken" (and not in that oh-so-good "taken" way) and find oneself in the position of feeling, looking and perhaps being viewed as a fool. It's frightening when one's instincts are less than on target. It's devastating to have one's dreams shattered. Been there, done that. It took more than three years for me to rebuild the confidence in myself and my instincts. But yanno what? It happens to vanillas and the kinky. It's not kink-specific. Having been 'round this block a few times, I'm at least mildly suspicious. Drama sucks. Mean people suck. Abusers and sociopaths can be slick devils. This I can say from personal experience. However, I am more concerned with the old chestnut of "blacklisting." One person's nightmare is another person's dream dominant. Bottom line for me: verify THEN trust. In the distant past, I recall being sucked into an online group's horror at abuse posted by another member. Folks nationwide rallied (as we can only do by email) in support of the poor woman. They offered her shelter, legal services and funds to get her out of the "situation." All that help and suddenly she "disappeared." Turns out it was entirely fictitious. Some people simply thrive on drama. How do you spell hoax? I look at it as a learning experience and toss a handful of salt into the mix. While I'm not suggesting that this is true with the OP, a bit of salt and a few critical thinking skills seem to be necessary. Well, his profile is up and was accessed on 8/21/07, so if he's been detained, it's recent. Since he's local to me (as far as the profile says, at least), if he's been arrested and charged and BDSM is involved (and it's made public) NCFS may get involved. Until then, I'll watch Gilmore Girls to get my drama needs met. Oh, and the whole "skirt no panties" thing? Sorry, silly dom tricks are for kids. Red (not immune to all silly dom tricks, but a gwown up, nonetheless)
