Status: offline 		I don't you about you folks but it seems that some media publishers are out to ruin the fun of the Alternative Lifestyle, those of us who love fetish, kink, bdsm and free expression.  A publication that goes by the name The West Coast Midnight Run has now for years conducted an anti Lifestyles campaign, ongoing in its articles, with innuendo, snide remarks and just a lotta disguises hatred.  From their story on Assy McGee a few years ago to their recent "Gut Talk?", "Jive Talkin Romantic Interludes" and "Eating Your Food Cold".

Someone needs to contact their faggot editors, complain, boycott their nazi sponsors, do some thing, I mean this is ridiculous.  Their publisher, Citadel, I believe is a government contractor.  These are neo-con republican dirt bags.  Are you going to sit still for this?

Their website is at http://www.midnighttracks.net I have sent in a few comments but they have not responded.  It's not outrageous that we should put up with this crap?

So you are asking people to be tolerant of your lifestyle choices while being intolerant of other people's? How is that working for you?

Status: offline 		It's been my experience that most people who have issues with this lifestyle are basing those issues on hollywood versions of what we engage in.  Our relationships are not innately abusive, degrading, or offensive.  Submissive does not equate to victim.  Dominants are not innately selfish in their desires.  Some of these statements are true for some relationships, but some of these statements are true of some vanilla relationships as well.

Once these people find out what we're really about, most of them are notably more tolerant.  There are exceptions, of course - some simply will not listen, refuse to learn, and have no interest in understanding that which they rant on and on about.  These, unfortunately, tend to be the loudest of decriers, and have the potential to do the most damage in the long run.  After all, scream loud and long enough, and someon's bound to listen.

Before anyone gets a jalapeno pepper in their boxers or panties, who the hell are these people? I'm in media relations and I've never heard of these clowns. What's their readership...12? (And since they're on the West Coast, five of those are probably fish). Looking at their site, unless I missed something they only publish once a year?

Bottom line: These guys probably have as much influence as Mike Huckabee at a BDSM club.

If they have been around for years, then they really haven't been having much of an impact on us, have they? If they were the media giant, swaying public opinion with the swipe of their poisoned pen (as you surmise) I think we would have heard of them by now.

Besides, they have every right to their stupid, pig ignorrant opinion. Just as you do. Just as I do. Just as everyone does. It's called the First Ammendment, and it works just as well for the creeps on the right as it does for the nice people on the left.

Oh, and, as I'm sure the other posters will tell you: using "faggot" in this space as a derrogatory term will not make you any brownie points. If you're THIS f*cking clueless, bud, you need some serious educating before you can talk among the adults, and be taken seriously.

I can't stand it when people use that as an insult or the expression "that's so gay". I see no difference between saying "that's so gay" and "that's so niggery".

Status: offline 		My sincere apologies for fellow lovers of thrashing their fellow members.  I used "faggot" in its proper meaning, those who surmise deragotary must have been staring at themselves in the mirror when they typed this.

Those guys are playing the mainstream audiences but hey don't believe me.  The speed with which each of you so far has responded really informs me that you took your time to look through their content.  One volume per year?  Shuuuure.  But each volume is an endless pit of opinion editorials filled with venom.

I am not saying anything here.  You are absolutely correct.  Each is entitled to their own personal opinions.  But I perceived an orchestrated campaign to do away with any liberal freedoms we enjoy as members of the alternative lifestyles.

BTW, Is it now forbidden to express your anger emotions with any measure of freedom?  Those who just defended these guys came down on me for using an expression guaranteed to me by the First Ammendment.  I am a long-time member of this group so how could you possibly perceive "faggot" as having sexual connotations?  You never heard of a behavioral asshole?  Wow perhaps I need me a doctorate in literature before I can post a non-offensive comment here.  Pardon me your highnesses and queens. I did not make a formal accusations.  Those comments were angry feelings.  Do you notice any of the exalted comments listed here by many members?  Or are there "classes" of members in the Lifestyle.  Those who are exalted and those who are not worthy?  Yeah sure I am not worthy, I am not worthy.  Forgive me the insolence Oh gods of The Light.

If you do a web search on these guys, on Yahoo, Google, MSN, someone else complained about them hyping hate and being anti-moslem.  So I am not the only who is peceiving them as the Great Satan disguised as mild mannered liberals.  But hey you folks are very quick to the trigger.  Some of you probably posted a canned response.

http://gotv.blogspot.com/2007/03/hyping-hate-midnighttracks-edition.html

Before you hastily respond to my comments please do yourselves a favor and read through their content.  It's not all public access but the private members only I have viewed it since it requires registration.  I am sure a few of you managed to view everything on their websites.

Sorry about the tone of voice but these guys really show tolerance in the most twisted of ways.

Status: offline 		Thanks though for just reading and not blasting my ass with comments that digress from the subject.   I noticed many individuals here rather than comment on the topic at hand, the issue raised, are experts at changing the topic of conversation, avoiding the main issue altogether.

You are absolutely correct Lucylastic.  Really slipped my mind how caring some individuals are on this website.  You can tell some people here are just hanging around looking to just shoot down any opinion that is "out of bounds" from their acceptable routine banter.  Anyone challenges the status quo around here and hey, you ignorant blah blah blah....

Thanks though for being the most understanding poster.  The negativity here from people who are so open-minded and positive is just bewildering if not totally crushing.  I have Verizon DSL so their download speed is just average.

Explain.  The denotative meaning of "faggot" is 1) derogatory slang for a homosexual male and 2) a bundle of sticks or steel rods.

And you were clearly using it in a derogatory manner towards the authors/publishers of this site your speaking against, so please, try to dig your way out; I'd love to see it.

Freedom of the press. remember that from school boys and girls?  anything that is alternative has in past,(and probably will again.) come under fire with those that love to get their panties in a twist.  pagans,those in the GLBT communities, the list goes on and on.

    This looks to me like an attempt to get us all to drive the website's hit count up and inadvertently draw attention to it ourselves by raising a ruckus.
    Not to mention? Pejoratives for the fail.

    Status: offline     		Most of those responding have not bothered in addressing the issues raised in the first place, chosing instead to attack and change the subject.

    I have posted responses to the early comments which many responders appear to have not read in their eagerness to prove their prowess in spitting out canned comments and messages.

    Finally it appears a few of you out there are blind automaton supporters of media, any media, apparently under the illusion that any media group is Untouchable, possibly from all the "positive" images that shows like Jerry Springer, Oprah and a few others have done in "normalizing" BDSM as something as casual as bread and butter.

    Thanks though to everyone who took the time to punch their keyboard.  Oh and I am sure this publication is nothing of note, trouble is I NEVER had heard of it until now, possibly indicating they are starting to make inroads into the visible spectrum of public consumption.

    Don't kick me if I have been a fool, I thought it was my future that I had slipped from my hand.

    I do not watch TV, so I do not know what you are elluding to in regard to supporters of the media crap.

    Those that hit your link seem to think that you are trying to boost your hit numbers... I think that since I know their posts better than yours I will just believe what they post about your link...

    You could have apologized for insulting gay people, that you haven't shows me that I really do not care what you are posting about...
