At the same time, the point is probably useless considering we started talking about fetishes and somehow drifted into various styles of dynamics. An impossible subject to think everyone will agree on. I do not think it was a "drift". I think that it was a direct shift brought on by post 9. We didn't even get through half a page before someone saw the OP as an opportunity to equate relationship style with a fetish. Now, now, do not get me wrong, I still enjoy many posters here that think I am "creepy", LaM being one of those people who thinks I am "creepy", yet I enjoy reading his posts in other contexts. Aynne also thinks I am "creepy, immature, and unable to run [sic] my life" I think this shift on the first page goes directly to my posts on this thread, which is that people use threads such as these to cross the line from "Hey, it doesn't work for me, but if it works for you, great!" to "people who that works for are 'creepy'". It is a violation of the guidelines, in my opinion. Of course you notice it more when people attack the way you live then when they attack the way I live, pretty normal. We are all pretty sensitive to things that are important to us. I suppose I see some of my kinks as being "creepy". It is kinda weird that I like to be humiliated, and to be spanked, etc. I know it is "weird", but to call my entire relationship "creepy", that is an entirely different matter. I do not really want to have to explain that the relationships I have engaged in the past are not "fetishes" or "kinks", and it says a lot I have to.
