OP, you made a thread that was a hot button issue. The only thread that would have been better would be Do fat financial Dommes who are physically abusive to left wing atheists secretly want to be subs? Or some such.

I think folks come to the forums:

Just stirring up the pot..., to learn about things, give advice, get new ideas, share their knowledge, even see if someone thinks like them, or even if their thinking is all wrong,...to be sarcastic, insulting, joke around, the list goes on.

I think to list them as either/or as you did limits the vagaries (used properly?) of a person and their moods.

Personally, first and foremost I come to the forums because, as Lily said, there are people here. Also, I wax philosophical enough in my head and sometimes I just have to get it out and sometime there just happens to be a thread in which I can do so. I often come to the threads because I like to know what makes people tick. I'm rather a loner and I admit to the wide and heavy rock under which I live that keeps me well sheltered. I come to the forums to look for flaws in my own thinking. I'm always happy to learn things in the threads but I'm usually happy to learn thread or not. I look for ways to be a better Domme here. I guess it boils down to the fact that I show up to the threads as I am and attend to them as I am at any given moment.

FYI: This thread may moved since it is not geared towards BDSM General. (eta: I see it was moved between the time I started my post and finished it, so.. there ya go.)

I think the best way to figure out why someone is here is to go ahead and read their posting history.

But my point is, when you start or participate in threads that have hot button issues, you must expect to feel the heat. You have to have a certain mindset when posting on those threads. Mine is, I will share my opinion, but TRY not to take others' opinions personally. Try being the operative word. I know not everyone will agree with me and on polarizing topics most may not AND have extremely insulting ways of saying it.

Otoh, there have been times I've posted in a way that is "wrong", and the overwhelming replies to my mistake(s) helped me see those mistakes and do better in the future. (When we know better, we do better.)

....how do you go about seeing posting history, or do you figure it out as you go along.

In the upper right hand corner of the page you are currently viewing, there is a 'search button'. If you click on it you will be taken to another page where you can then type in any members screen name and view a history of their posts. You can read their posts across all forums or if you want to read only what they have written in, for example, General BDSM discussion you can do that as well. Once you see the page, it should be easy to understand and you can explore your varied options.

Can you please tell me for what that is an acronym?

These days you call someone a cunt and the whole thread goes poof! and comes back totally fucking neutered. Remember those daft lesbians? One of them was posting last year during the riots we had over here, encouraging the mayhem, claiming she was trying to help the rioters burn and destroy. People died in those riots and others lost their homes and everything they had worked for all their lives. None of those fucking posts were pulled, yet now you have a go at someone or say something a little contentious( or maybe just plain rude) and it's like you've walking into a bar mitzvar dressed as Hitler. Since when was a slanging mtch worse than incitement to kill and destroy?
