I personally find the aims of Mistress Vanessa's group to be noble and honorable, regardless of how new and small it is.
Then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, does it?

And while I see the justification and basis for much of the backlash against her, I think it's excessive and makes people look like the egotistical, full-of-themself prima donnas that they point to her for being.
I think you missed the posts that were actually pulled so your view of the events which took place is, therefore, skewed. Some people do seem to take a bit of umbrage at being denigrated, dismissed, ignored and being told they are diseased. People are funny that way. All that said, the fact that you choose to point out your own view in the way you just did speaks to no one but yourself. Funny, too, how that works out. You could have chosen to take the high road, but instead chose to take the low. It was, and will remain, your option to always do so.

It's funny benji mentioned socialism is to rape what charity is to sex.
Benji's sig line actually reads: "Socialism is to charity what rape is to sex."

What, if any, power structure did Mistress Vanessa try to establish in this thread?
Personal vendetta against another site which has zero to do with Collarme. She was disrespectful to someone who actually has paid their dues here by continued use of an incorrect name even after she was corrected. Further, she quite clearly tried to seize power over some posters who disagreed with some of her assessments by denigrating their character and even their mental health. Superior proclamations and elitist jargon are clear signs of a grab for power. The grab failed, but the attempt was made.
quote:
What, if any, power structure did the responders try to establish?
None, they simply tried to correct her when she was wrong or ask questions to get clarity on what, exactly, it is that she's trying to accomplish with TIC. The motivation was known, but the criteria for certain aspects was not known so questions were asked. Many of those questions went unanswered and remain unanswered. There were those select view (as there always are) who like to poke newbies with sticks to see if they'll turn around and bite.
quote:
What rules underlied the struggle back and forth, if any, for dominance?
The TOS is the only established rule for forum posting. It was violated and the offenders posts were pulled. The Moderators are the only clique with any power. If anyone thinks they have any power here at all, they are in need of a reality check so trying to seize power won't do any good.

How was the game played?
Poorly.
quote:
And how does this compare to consensual power play and exchange?
As soon as you write to the forums, you have consented to forum participation, that's the exchange part. Some folks made the choice to play (folks from both sides) and some tried to engage in discussion and voice opinions which were skeptical but still courteous. As for power, as stated, the only ones with power are the Mods.
quote:
Discuss.
Done.
quote:
And flame me.  
Not my style.
I like your profile by the way.. especially the part where you state that you love everyone so I found it a bit odd that you made a remark about Goreans (something about how retarded they got) on another thread which, to me, appeared a bit on the nasty side of life, not the love side, but, no one is perfect.
Welcome to Collarme.
