Welcome.
It's usually board suicide to have your first post be a complaining one. (check out "have never met so many short tempered...in the general bdsm discussion board)
There are about two to three of these types of posts a week.
Instead, try to just get involved with the group here on this side to exchange ideas...much more real.

Why bother? Frankly it makes you look a lot worse than those you are attacking and it makes you look uncreative (look at the existing notestreams).

Rather than posting on the message boards, it's best that you send a personal e-mail to the one you are calling Bull Shit on.

After all, if you have not met the person, couple, group, etc.. it's best not to speculate. Many of us disagree at times. You many find those to be idiots and decide not to like certain people but that does not mean they are a fake when it comes to BDSM.

Any how, it's best to prove yourself before you begin to disprove others. Speak up with your own advice and experiences rather than call bull shit on others. Show how you live the life style and what it means to you. After all, it's just about the best way to make your point to others.

The only message board that would be suited for calling Bull Shit on who one says they are would be called "The Flame Wars Forum." which the mods have not created with. Or maybe we can call it "The BS Forum"

The main thing to remember is that you are just waisting your time trying to call someone out on the message boards. There's not much to prove or disprove on someone 1000 miles away from you. If you acctually know the person, then send them a private message. Giving us the BIG WARNING on the forums may only mean that you just don't like the person. Both of you will have your own story to tell and no one really cares about taking sides. It would just make both of you look like idiots and most of us would just end up ignoring your post. You're better off just letting the rest of us figuring it out on our own.

Welcome to the boards.

Give people some latitude, there are some out there that don't quite know yet what it is they want. Just because you deem someone as a "phony" (my word not yours) doesn't make it so. It is bad form to want to expose others for not meeting your parameters of what you expect them to be. Sit back, take a breath and enjoy the boards. They really are a wonderful place to get to know people and exchange ideas. Welcome again.

I guess there is nothing stopping you from posting a thread like that, nothing more than there is stopping you from posting a thread like this. However it does leave room for a bigger question to be asked:

"Do we actually give a damn?"

The answer, nine times out of ten, is not bloody likely.... So suck it up and enjoy the boards for what they are. Pity parties suck.

Welcome to the boards. You can always content yourself in the fact that you are better than they are I suppose.

You really can't. There's no point to those posts and even if there was who's to say someone wouldn't be making it all up just to tarnish someone elses rep. Nobody wants to hear whineing about other memebers here.

however if they're like stalking you or harrasing you or something against TOS you can report them to mods.

Feline speaks a very real truth, it is only hearsay at this point--to call someone out on the boards demonstrates nothing but your inability to manage a situation using the correct and recommended means and dealing with things on a mature level.
