This is the reason that I have decided to pretty much avoid the local Hobby Scene at the present time......it's simply not safeAfter reading DeAnna's initial post, I nodded in agreement and begin to ponder a response. Then I decided the posting and any response would do nothing but start a shitstorm, but now . . . what the Hell? A couple observations on my part.Originally Posted by shelby sinful
1. Hiney's right. Things will change. And Like DeAnna, Sadie and Shelby have said, its not always for the better.
2. Unless you've been around for a while, you can't see the change or have a frame of reference to see it. And I mean those that have a long history posting, reviewing, being reviewed or just plain lurking on boards like the old ASPD for 3-5 years or longer. Unless they're lurking, there are only a few of us that have been around longer than that.
3. Today's world of social networking has spilled over to the group that has been hobbying and providing for less than 3 years. The idea today is to blog or twitter about whether you farted or fucked, when you did it and how good or bad it was. That's what has happened here and that's what DeAnna was trying to say, whether you think she's an abrasive bitch or not.
What it is, is what its become. In the current environment, that's why my local hobbying is now limited to a select few I can trust.
My attitude has always been to welcome newbies into the community to maintain where there was an element of trust, lots of laughs and pleasure. I'm sad that much of the drama has come with it. I'm sure there will be disagreement with my attitude and that of those of us who have been around here for years. Maybe its time I adapt a different attitude. . . .
