Status: offline 		My friends and my daughters are way too clever to let this guy bull$it and weasle himself into their life.  So, no, it wouldn't happen. He is too dumb to be that manipulating and clever (thank god) to not admit to whomever he met here that he is not experienced at all in bdsm. He would admit it and take his chances because he actually believes he is 'above' dominance although his life is full of submissive behavior (occupation and relationships).  He goes into phases of actually believing he is a superman. The world is safe, he is too cheap to date to attract any females anyways LOL.

Status: offline 		If a personal friend of yours comes up to you and says that she's thinking of getting involved with this guy and wants to know what you think of him then by all means tell her.  But a net stranger?  No.  Not your place.  Using "being a newbie" as an excuse for not having needed relationship skills is a cop out and only places the blame for getting burned or hurt on someone else instead of someone taking responsibility for their own actions and choices.  If I pick an asshole then it's no one's fault but my own.

I have lost friends and partners to gossip. and out side opinion. sad thing of it is when things came back around it is always too late to change things do to the damage caused. my best advice is keep your nose out of it. let them find out on there own fate will dictate what should happen.  you will be better for it. Now if this person is dangerous that is different

Hmmmmm...I thought pretty much all snakes have two sides....They actually do probably possess "sides" which might make them all four sided snakes.....

You all have way to much time on your hands to worry about the "bdsm internet world" of people who do not portray themselves accurately......My only regret, which unfortunately cannot be avoided, is that he will start seeing DBG...And we will unfortunately have to hear about this "bum" for the next year or two.

I do not interfere in the lives of others unless specifically asked to; and even then, I only do so minimally. I make sure that the choice is still left to the individual and that it can not come back to ‘well she said I should do this, I did, and it went wrong’

Status: offline 		The fact that there was no feeling of dominance by you doesn't mean that he isn't capable of dominating someone else. All it means is that you two weren't compatible.

As far as him being poor, I'm sure she'll figure that out once he tells her she pay her own way on a date at McDonalds.

And the fact that right now he's only looking for casual doesn't mean he won't meet the right one next week.

All you've told us from your own experience is that their wasn't any chemistry or connection between you, that you and he didn't fall  madly in love, and that he doesn't make enough money to rate with you. None of which says he won't have chemistry with someone else, that he won't fall in love with someone else, and that someone else may not choose their partners with an eye to something other than his bank balance.

A male of my aquaintance, less than a year ago, tried to top me & could not, did not know how.  He was always broke & whining about it.  After a friend reported that he was at a swingers club, approaching coupels, did i confront him & find that he was looking for a woman to keep him  that he just wanted to have as many women as he could.

Now he is on here, claiming to be a Dom with 20 years experience and has some poor newbie utterly confused, except for the certainty that he loves her.  

So what is our responsibility to new people?  Ones we don't know?    Warn them or let them find out for themselves?

What other people do with their private lives is not my business; they are not my responsibility. End of story.

As much as I would like to help people avoid pain (not caused by me) I think those that say it is futile are right. 

Perhaps this man is actually a master of Florentine flogging and just chose not to share that with me. 


I completely agree.  I'm sure it's tempting to want to save someone from pain you've already experienced, but most likely the "newbie" will not really heed your warnings.

I'm a pretty open person, but i can only think of one time in which I really paid attention to an anonymous person's email telling me to "watch out".  Good thing I did...

1. I don't know you and I don't know him but I wouldn't want to get involved in what sounds like unfinished business betwen the two of you.
2. Sgowing up as vanilla on here means nothing.....it just means you are new on here and I have known instinctually by the content of some newbie posts on here that they are experienced in bdsm
3. Someone not being able to top you doesn't mean that they can't top someone else.
4. wgar's wrong with a man 'living-off a woman'...that's just a sexist judgement.
5. Although in terms of power dynamics, swinging is quite contray to bdsm dynamics, I don't judge swingers (always).
6. Outing someone is fine just so long as you are certain they don't actually 'top' you by outing somthing about you. Thta's just dirty sexual politics and it belongs back in the prfumo era.
7. I have been the subject of public blackmial and actaully at the end of the day nobody really cared. All publicity is good publicity as at least I was having a sex life.
8. My code of ethics states that I can inform a third party in three cases only: if I KNOW A CLIENT PREMEDITATES MURDER; COMMITS PEADOPHILIA AND OR COMMITS INCEST.
9. In my pesonal opinion what else other than the above
could your ex really be doing which is so wrong?

I always, as far as I know, act according to my own ethical principles.

I normally make the choice to tell because if and when it was me in the situation I would have liked for someone to tell me. Because at least if I didnt believe them, I still have the power to make the choice. And when i got screwed over because I didnt take said advice it would be no ones fault but my own.

And would you wonder how this stranger managed to find out you were talking with this other person on the system?

Status: offline 		Dear LadyLegs, Ladies and Gentlemen,
 
I have witnessed many a person who have posed as something they are not and watch on scared for others, knowing there is something wrong but, the other person I care about is dead set on their choices.  I just tell people that what ever happens-- I will be there as a friend.
 
Now, I do Florentine flogging, canes and other whip work--there are ways to trip such a person up and any other aspects a person may feed another person--it is done in private and must be done by the person themself so they can come to their own conclusions--not mine.
 
Another situation is, if you warn or cause rumors or gossip, it can be seen as sour grapes by the person you worry over--pushes them further away.  Unfortunately, everybody has to go through the process of finding out for themselves.
 
There are cases where some individuals are bad news in our local community and smell like a rose for those outside of it.  People know of these individuals--some are really big wheels in the community but, burned bridges and history--local community old timers won't associate with them period.  Regardless, those who are the 'ugly' hearts and intentions among us manifest their own manure and people will see what is going on about five years into the exposure to these cliques, politics and such. 
 
It is difficult to watch a train wreck about to happen.  But, nobody will really grasp the concern until a group witnesses for themselves and come to their personal conclusions.  Just be there for friends and pray for the safety and welfare for those who are of concern. 
 
In cases where I am asked for my observations and or opinions; I will say from my heart and my own gut instincts and include my personal experiences and knowledge.  I will voice my concerns and why they are my concerns.  This will let that person know where my focus of concerns are.
I think answering the 'why' and 'where' and or 'what' my concerns are is more than a vague reply but gives more meat to my concerns.  It still is up to the individual--not me.
 
Just some thoughts.
 
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs

Status: offline 		On a couple occasions, when I was interested and involved with someone from the internet (this was years ago, mind you) I had trouble with this sort of drama.  A girl who I had met real time, and we absolutely despised each other, would regularly try to find out who I might be talking to, and 'warn' them of me; everything from drunk driving convictions, to heroin abuse, to having AIDS. 

I wish I could say it doesn't matter, but online reputations can be pretty easily damaged.  I feel pretty fortunate that this wasn't an issue recently.

For the OP; as others have said, stay out of it.  Any involvement you have will come across as putting you in a bad light, regardless.  How would you feel, if he started writing people you were corresponding with and started 'warning' them?  Why waste a moment of your life worrying about what two consenting adults are doing, so long as her life isn't in jeopardy?

Stephan
