I have to wonder if people starting missing "the good old days" when publication of BDSM magazines (and the lonely hearts ads within) became legal.

In my opinion though, it's pretty pathetic when people judge character by their "member since" date. You must also keep in mind the people who are extremely closted in their kink, are homebodies who don't like going to parties and gatherings, or simply do not like their local community. These are the people who websites like this were made for.

I also have to wonder though, if you're so against it then why are you here? Go to your fancy masked ball and leave us alone :D

If people like myself and all the other people who lived what we term as "the good old days (and no its not from dukes of hazard)" hadnt used the internet, where would everyone else have got their knowledge from!

I think that statement would hold more weight if it came from someone in the 60s or 70s but really someone in their 30s?

Chances are that everyone would get their knowledge from the same place that most do now, from personal experience. The fact that you think you have lived some "good old days" means nothing to me. You are a name on the net and could be some 15year old spotty teenager for all I know. A reason why I take note of personal experience and not some unverified posting from someone I do not know from Adam.

Which is entirly my point of the whole article.

I cant read this, looks like a pile of poo to me, blah blah blah. What is with outing people in your profile though OP? I thought that was not cool to do here? Fakes and Dreamers? Puhlease. You remind me of one of those young people who takes on a very stern personna, all defensive, and I find it funny. By the way what is wrong with being a Dreamer anyway?

The reason we posted the article before we got suspended for doing so was to open up this subject as most people in the lifestyle have a say or view on it.

I would be interested to know how many people who have done the attacking and insulting would be so brave if they werent behind the computer.

The facts are that this web site's TOS does not allow blacklists under any such 'freedom of speech' clause...that was a lie, and an easily disproven one.

The claim of being suspended from this site for posting an 'article', when your posts kept showing up without the standard [Awaiting Approval] moderation indicator, would be the first one I've ever heard of... that is very likely a lie.


The 'I was so special that I was invited to masked balls as a child, and you've never been to one'  is just plain posturing, like a hundred who have come through here before you.

Add to that the claims that having BS called on things that are insulting the intelligence of everyone else, is 'rude' and you have a pretty complete picture.

Wait... are you saying you're all offended because your account was pulled for a day?? Do you have any idea how often that happens? Usually it's just people flagging your profile, you aren't some saint-worthy bdsm martyr. Also... how exactly do you prove people are fakes? Do you go visit them all- or is everyone who shows no interest in you a fake?

Nope I dont smell burning martyr here. I was the first time it has happened to us so a bit of a shock but there you go, lesson learnt.

No we have learnt by bitter experience about who is fake and who is not, having taken time of work, wasted phone calls, fake pictures being sent which are clearly doctored and 2 owning up saying they are men just looking for pics to throw themselves around.
As with most things in life we learn the hard way, but we learn and thus knowledge is gained. So we post the names on our profile to help prevent others going through the same as us.

I find that anyone that slanders another person on a profile is childish, not a protective service to other real lifestyler's.  Your opinion is your own and I can respect that, but when your opinion includes putting names of others on your profile because you decide they are less than for real, you come off looking bad.  That is as bad as whining and complaining about what goes on online.

Who put you in charge of protecting the other real's and who voted you in as one with the ability to determine who is not for real?  We all misunderstand you... you are providing a needed service and we are wrong to call you on breaking the rules by which you so dearly hang your old time hat and experience.  Very interesting.

Why don't we make a deal... you play nice and don't list your opinion of fakes on your profile, stop treating us as if we need you protecting us and we all play nice?
