The Detroit scene is a mess of politics, cliques, and complainers, held up by a core group of folks who organize events, show up to parties, share knowledge, etc. I guess I am one of those---the event organizer kind. I never go to munches, since I can't stand smoke, and hey! bored now! but I show up at the nonsmoking fetish parties to socialize, and kick ass if one of my party boys or girls is there. There are charity things that I am involved with peripherally. I do not "love it" as the poll would indicate....at best I am ambivalent these days. I am not a people person, I stand by my credo of FUCK THE NEWBIES, and while I love to play and dress up, I don't need a party to do either thing. Oh, the fuck the newbies thing? Back in the day, the organizers of a newbie gateway group approached me and some of my friends and said that we really should tone down our party play, since we were scaring some of the newbs..... to which I responded " * ". Cranky? Hell yeah! One of the first things I was told was if you don't like what you are watching, politely turn away. Hm.... cranky, antisocial, opinionated.... do I sense a trend?
