Never had the pleasure of meeting you Kat (although I sure wish I had) but I have no reason to doubt that everything you're saying is true. There's plenty of evidence here and on another website to convince me. I'd post a link to that other website but it outs lots and lots of personal info which is against the rules. Regardless, I know you are stepping away from the hobby and moving on with your life. Best of luck and hopefully you can leave the uglier parts of it in the past.

If you leave the hobby it is your choice, and only yours. I have been in and out of the hobby for around 40 years. For the most part I have met some great ladies. To be blunt, it has been less expense that seeing a mental health clinic after loosing friends in war and the death of two wives.
Being even short time friends with women has helped to keep my head straight, and I admit it. Thank you ladies.
But, none of us need to have crazy people in our lives or in the hobby. None of us want or need to see anyone abused, and that is what is being shared with us today.
No one should want to associate with monsters or abusers.
I have seen my favorite ladies retire; time, after time again. Some have called me later just to be able to enjoy and evening with a friend. The best part of the hobby is not about the expense for the guys, or the income for the ladies. It is not about sex either, although everyone enjoys sex. It is about the human contact that we all crave.
Beyond the hobby, which only gives us a temporary, but needed, satisfaction is the real world where we get the satisfaction of caring for each other, our community, our families, and our children. Life is about protecting and sharing with others.
