That gives that person a chance to look at what they are doing and choose ONE path.  Now, in fairness if that Senator, politico, whatever stopped his fetish involvment and continued to try to shut the lifestyle down, at least he would have chosen a path.  In all honesty I probably would do nothing with the photos other than use them to prove my point.



Excellent point.  I can better understand wanting to put a stop to his hypocrisy rather than blackmailing him to agree with you.

However, I MOST definately would go and have a long chat with the host to be sure that they didn't intentionally invite someone who obviously dislikes the lifestyle and what it stands for, and dislikes himself so much that he has to try to shut it down. 


Another excellent point.  Inviting a person like that around is simply asking for trouble.

Awww bad girl! No internet for you!  Hehehe j/k this is where you use the sympathy ploy to get a laptop [;)]

"But I need the internet! And you don't want me to hurt myself if I get out of bed, do you? DO YOU?????"

I still believe this thread was started to stoke a left-right political hypocrisy fire that didnt emerge. 



I don't know...according to the OP's profile he's starting to get into this because his wife is.  Perhaps he's a politician and is testing the waters for possible repercussions?





Grlwithboy -> RE: the stupid what kind of scene person are you post (9/13/2007 7:00:22 AM)

I'm sure as a pro I've played with some people whose politics I consider completely hyprcritical. As a non-pro too.

Frankly, I don't think I'd out this person. But if he was the greatest client in the world I'd send him to someone who didn't mind his voting record on kink, and that would not be me.. There's some money I don't want and it's from someone who'd use me but feed me to the lions first in that overt a fashion.

Then again, it's one thing for someone to just be in the closet, it's another for them to actively and tangibly threaten you and your way of life. I find hollywood outing unpalatable - "we need role models" isn't compelling. I find the infamous washington blog that broke the Craig story before it broke justifiable - these creeps are actively engaging in legislation that fucks GLBT people and selling us upriver, as long as they can still get some dick in an airport who cares.

Good Morning xoxi,

You could be right too.  He may be dabbling to see what repercussions might be out there.

I read most threads even though I participate in only a few.  I've felt the subtle undercurrent of if you belong to a certain political party and participate in BDSM, You're a hypocrite.  

I'm an active political blogger (elsewhere) campaign contributor and staffer.  If the political environment on CM is any indicator of lifestylers in general, I certainly wouldnt engage in public play.

I have a laptop.  My wireless router shorted out on me yesterday :(  I'm hoping to get a new one this weekend.)  Its so funny, Master gives me that look when I so much as get up to go to the bathroom! LOL 

I'm glad my second response made more sense.  LOL 

I'm not sure what the OP's origional intent was.  I usually try to take someone at face value.  And so what if he started it trying to create left wing havoc, or any wing havoc.  I think the majority of people that responded took it in an honest direction and didn't give in to party flaming.  Even if their opinion was "immoral" or wrong in someone else's eyes, those that responded seemed honest and up front about their opinion and I really respect that, even if I don't agree with it.  I think maybe we're at a time when it can't be about party any more and that it needs to be about the right person for the job, period.  IMHO I think the majority of Americans are damn tired of the party hate and just want someone to get in there and do something right.  Just my 2 cents.

Wow, and I mean this respect, but can I come live on the planet where you live, the grass must be much better. 
There was no agenda to the question, other than to see, and let people themselves see, what kind of people they are.  Is the "get the badguy" knee-jerk we all have win over the "here are our rules and we all follow them" (ratting the guy out vrs. respecting no outing anyone without consent).

I mean don't you ever drop a five dolllar bill on a very busy street to see who will pick it up?  Don't you go into a dry cleaner and say "I'd like my brown suit" and when you can't produce yuor ticket see if you can bribe the counter guy into seeing the brown suits he has to see if he'll give you one?  Try the "paper moon" money-change gag just to see who will still fall for it?  Life is much to short to take it for granted with blogs and media inspired "this is true" ya gotta test it everyday like a panther looking for a hole in the cage.

People, esp. online, present such an image of themselves its only by asking questions like in the first post do you find out who they are at the bone not the make-up layer.  People live & vote thier bones, the make-up is just to make sure they look good doing it. 

and as far: if you belong to a certain political party and participate in BDSM You're a hypocrite.  
 
ya gotta admit there are active and growing political parties where the BDSM lifestyle would be considered abnormal all the way up to demonic depending on which sub-faction within the party you were dealing with and maybe, just maybe if you are hearing that question being asked when it is not, maybe its not from anyone else but yourself that it is being asked. 





TheIronHorse -> RE: the stupid what kind of scene person are you post (9/13/2007 7:28:38 AM)

No matter how you try to spin your opening statement, you're considering outing someone based on their political views. 

The fact that you've constantly hovered over this thread and chosen not to reply until the political component was introduced speaks volumes to me.

You're on the cusp of violating an unwritten commandmant of public BDSM play.





CandyLover -> RE: the stupid what kind of scene person are you post (9/13/2007 7:32:54 AM)

I'd out him.  I'm a selfish person when something directly affects me.  Since they don't in this case, the ends justify the means.

Why? I honestly want to know why you felt motivated to publicly out someone's sexual preferences to their office. And none of that 'concern for their well being' crap. What about doing this made you feel good?


He didn't out the politician,at least directly. He simply asked if he'd gotten home from the party safely. That may or may NOT have gotten the man in trouble.

I see it as consequences of your actions.

first of all, proof it, you make that kind of accusation at someone you better have a better lawyer or a better left hand punch than they do.

second of all this was the first time I had come back to the conversation other than in a cursory way, I saw which way it had turned and jumped back in with both feet.

third, I wouldn't turn in jerry fawell if he was smoking crack out of a twelve year old's ass.  I might beat him to death on the 12 year old's behalf but that is a little different. 

and forth...I dunno, I don't get having to keep secrets to keep a job, wife, life. I was raised if you have to be ashamed of it don't do it, keep your morality and your actions in the same hand don't hold one up high to show like a gleaming ray of light and practice the other in the shadows when nobody is looking.   Even if that means you lose the job, wife or life.  I'd never expect anyone to live up to that same standard because that is between me adn god, just as thier own desciosn are between themselves and thier own god (or not). 

and since you seem sorta incapable of thinking anythign written can't involve you in a personal way, --like I had this great psychic manisfestation of how to make ironhorse nervous.  but your showing who you are, and that's a new symptom on an old disease of politics, you join the party that seems to be gaining in power, you still do what you want, think what you want reguardless of the party's stated goals then live in fear for 60 years ohmigod somebody might find out.

who gives a flying fuck?  your opinion, my opinion, on an BDSM board, --other than entertaining people who like a good bitch slapping contest, who gives a fuck. 

I am by nature a Hienlien libertarian, I think if every person made sure thier own shit was in order then we wouldn't have to worry abotu anyone else's shit running down our necks.  The rest of it:  is just money ego and bullshit.

Why did you cut sugar out of your diet? To what extent did you do it?




Dnomyar -> RE: the stupid what kind of scene person are you post (9/13/2007 8:09:16 AM)

Isnt this the person we just read about in the newspaper????




Termyn8or -> RE: the stupid what kind of scene person are you post (9/13/2007 5:30:57 PM)

Mmmmmmm, nice warm flames, makes me feel right at home. I know that most people do not think like me. They were not taught like me and never will think like me, but that does not invalidate my opinion.

Think it was Ghandi who said "An eye for an eye makes the world go blind". Then there's "Turn the other cheek", and it is indeed a fact with which I'll agree that two wrongs do not make a right.

However reality is upon us.

More later.

Termyn8or -> RE: the stupid what kind of scene person are you post (9/14/2007 12:04:22 AM)

It is later. It is 1:41 A.M. here and everyone has left.

In a utopian society morality would be absolute. The rules are simply explained thusly :

1. I do not lie because I want my words to be believed. Another reason is that it would imply that I had a reason to lie, that is someone to answer to. If I intended not to comply with something, it would be known. I won't say I will and then don't, I will simply say I won't.

2. I do not steal because I want to be trusted, and that gets me around trustable people, those I do not have to worry about betraying me or ripping me off.

Now we have a politicians basically lying to his constituents, not to us. Oh yes, this is heavy. If only he weren't active in trying to shut clubs down and all that. If only he could respect our rights in office. If only he could see how many shootings happen at kink clubs rather than chain bars. Or other bars, as well as the old hole in the wall neighborhood bars, which can be a negative thing at times. But then sodomy ? Why rehash that shit that never should've been there in the first place.

I don't like sodomy, I think it is terrible, and I am very proactive against it, know what I do ? I DO NOT DO IT. That is all I have to do. You do what you want.

If all the facts in the OP are accurate, this politico needs ousted. What exactly to do is troubling. We do know right from wrong, but then there are other factors.

Morality is absolute ? Poppycock. We excuse ourselves for putting people in jail and prison every dat, and we know that some of them are innocent or at least victimless. There are guys who get out of prison for tax evasion and then get put right into jail for not paying child support, when of course they couldn't, being in prison. Then other guys are out and about and refuse to pay the support for even three kids at $1,000 a month, because he doesn't like her, and they never get jammed up over it.

But we excuse things in the name of justice, like putting people in cages, and we even excuse ourselves for doing it wrongly. We excuse ourselves for alot of things, but it is the government doing it not us. We excuse them. And then they try to drum it into our heads that we should never take the law into our own hands. Bunch of shit, especially after the supreme court decision that says the have absolutely no obligation to protect you.

Then they want all the guns, so we are defenseless. Yet they keep theirs. And not only do we excuse the occasional justice that they do, we excuse them for all this other shit too, so how the hell does it make sense that we are not allowed to solve our own problems ? They must solve ALL our problems, no exceptions ? How long will it be before there is a government handbook on how to wipe your ass ? (actually,,,,,,never mind)

People who want to take rights from others which they wish to retain for themselves are not worth the air they breathe.

But now I will consider you the rising Abel ot my setting Cain. Many many have advised against anything even resembling blackmail or exposure, and I must consider that. If I want others to consider my opinions I must consider theirs'.

So, backing the train up a bit, what are the options ? Well I see two. One, if this guy gets tied up, and doesn't know you know, you could play it into a scene. "Herr _______ ve vould like to talk to you about zis yes ?".

Or you could sit at a table or something "I don't get it, you got this" (toss document on table) "yet you come here, what gives ?".

The owner of the club could crumple up his check and throw it up against something, burn it and then say that it bounced, but is fighting fire with gasoline. That line is alot farther away, besides, alot of people use credit cards today. Never mess with that.

Here's an idea. (I knew I would come up with one) Just protest against that politico right in front of the club. Let someone else snap a picture of him coming out of the place. When he denies it, well, if you bring the pictures out you wil not be a member anymore. That is a personal sacrifice. There could also be some risk, this is not to be taken lightly, but moral issues will keep many from doing anything drastic. Of course there are always those leaks.

I don't even want to think like this, doing anything, anything. Something has crossed my mind. Perhaps in whatever caspacity this person "serves" they know that this will never ever pass, and they just run a show for some of their constituents. Though not respectable, it is way better than what was insinuated by the OP. (I do not mean to insult, but the way it was put it does seem this person is a hypocrite of the worst kind) I now realize, for one, that the OP might not have meant that and even if so, what was their perceptual accuity like at the time ?

A few things are obvious, and they detract from my original theory. But in fairness I must mention them. First we have the fact that the club was not shut down and operates. (I hope) Then we have the fact that many of these clubs' owners are usually aroud during hours of operation. They know who everybody is who comes in there. This person is still allowed in there.

"Fire at will" was premature. With what I stated above I am glad that nothing happened as of yet. We need to know more.

However, I am very fierce when it comes to rights.

Notice that I got a bit peeved and talked some shit, but did not go out and do it. I mean even if I could I would not just go out and do something just like that.

Anyway, if the person is a real asshole in the sense of abusing their power, it is still fire away. I just have doubts.
