I have stayed quiet on all of this...mostly because I'm much more low profile these days and spend much less time here than I did in the past, and I like popcorn
I'm just going to say that while I agree with most of what you say, ETG, I disagree about DiamondD posting about it. Y'all post lots of things about ladies with questionable behavior, publically and privately...and much of that is rumor or heresay as well. You're correct about each of us doing our own research however this board is meant for sharing information, not just to provide titillating entertainment. It is also one way we use to try to stay safer. And while it is predominantly a male run site, it's still not right trying shut down someone who is legitimately trying to keep others safe. This is unarguably a dangerous hobby, for both sides, so when there is a perceived risk/threat, why not do your research and share it?
Don't forget also, that while you and any other person you spend time with may indeed have a relationship in which you feel comfortable....that may not always be the case when that person interacts with others. Just a thought as we all have our own personalities and triggers.
All that being said, I hope everyone has a wonderful week and can find some time to indulge in our favorite hobby safely
Peace and Karma
