ORIGINAL: AquaticSub I am a strong believer in not asking for opinions when you are not accepting of them. If Bob needs a safe space to talk about his loss, there are many options. The collarme forums are simply not a safe space nor should every place be a safe space. Bob, if you want BDSM-friendly safe space areas where you can talk about this sort of thing and ask for thoughts, there are plenty of communities on LJ and I'm sure other forums exists where the moderators actively try to make it a safe space. I think I've made it clear since I got here that not only do I not see this as a "safe space" but I don't consider -any- bdsm fourm to be a "safe space". Truth is I carry my own safe space with me wherever I go. That I could post this after, what, a month of heckling from a minority of posters whenever I mention my wife (and just about any other time I say something) would make rather clear I not only know this isn't a safe space, but I don't need it to be. Nonetheless, they have made it an issue for about a month now, hijacking one thread after another over this, getting threads locked left and right. So here we are, in a thread where they can be heard, and everyone else can be heard, and we can all hear each other. Will anything good come from this? Who knows? But at least when this minority heckles another thread this issue will be well understood.
