Right. Here we go.
I've said earlier in this thread and I'll say it again; Some things people say affect people differently, so they respond. -- Maybe you do need to take Lyz's advice and start reading what people are writing a little better.
Since you've subtly taken to calling me out right here: Those situations were entirely different and don't even come close to merging at all. They each warranted different forms of response. -- By my own form, nothing got hostile for me until the mention and perceived BS about a rape scenario was presented.
You couldn't just leave this thread alone and also were dissatisfied with my level of response away from forum that you took to calling me a hypocrite and then running off, so now you're here trying to cause shit to come down... why?
Since when do you even care about the majority of this forum population? The only thing that is keeping you coming back to post in here is because it has a potential to be blown up.
What I pointed out to you is simple: you tell me I need to read closer here because, in doing so, I will somehow understand the inherent emotional response she has and maybe, just maybe, I will agree with it. However, when people looked at his post, you're the first to tell people not to look at it close enough as to pick it apart.
I pointed out that response not as a personal attack on you, but rather, to illustrate the point. To continue to show that when there is a record of what people are saying, they should be held accountable for it. Don't get it crosswise though; this isn't a majority of people who frequent this forum. It's a group of maybe twelve who has this built in superiority complex because they go out and meet each other at gatherings. You can see the distinction made by Lyz herself when she says this:
I think it's important to make the distinction between logging onto an internet forum to get your rocks off and wanting to be part of a community, create friendships and maintain those friendships.
The vast majority of people who come here come here to read stories, watch clips, cyber, tickle-flirt and the like. Then there are those who come here to create real-life bonds, and that is what this particular situation is about. A man wants to have friends - his wife doesn't want him to have these friends. The entire situation is deeper and more detailed than how it appears in the OP.
Now if not for those stories, arts, and clips, guess what? This community would be less than five hundred people. You have a small grouping of people who post in one cross section of the forum and, bottom line, they act like they run the thing. That they are the reason TMF exists. Whatever a group of people wants to do, or wishes to do, is for them to decide. Knot made a personal situation into something of the public record. He didn't explicitly state what he needed in his thread. Instead, it's from the mouths of others. Even if it IS what he wanted and he comes on here and says it, it wasn't there to begin with. So acting as though the topic somehow veered off topic because some people came around stomping their feet about what a terrible decision he was making (something NOBODY did, by the way) is completely and utterly asinine.
And on the personal anecdote line, I wouldn't call it so much as running away as putting you on my block list. I wasn't going to get stuck in a circular argument with someone I, at one time, expected better from. You are a hypocrite in this. Either you can accept that or make yourself believe you are not. That choice is on you.
