First, it's easier to cite the famous celebrities because of their reputation and public exposure. You can point to Vi's history and library and public classes, or someone's published books, or the committees they have worked on for events and all those other things.
The sucky ones stay in the shadows and are far harder to track to those not intimately involved.
Secondly, "bdsm celebrities" might be admired for certain things but have human fallacies like we all do. They may also be a drunk, or bipolar, or filling some huge need for power due to insecurities. The "respected leaders of the community" locally are generally the ones who happen to have been around awhile, volunteered a lot of their time to the scene, and who play with a lot of people.
But anyone active in the local scene in DC can tell you that any famous/well-known player in the scene has at least 3 other famous/well-known people talking about what an asshole they are.
Wait. You mean Jay Wiseman isn't God? Dammit! And the scissors he sold me aren't special? They're just regular old medical safety scissors? Blasphemy!
