ORIGINAL: MmeGigs It's a heck of a big can of worms you're thinking about opening here. You have no clear evidence that these folks are looking for an SSC kind of experience, which apparently has led to your concern, but on the other paw you have no clear evidence that they're not. Lots of folks put up hot, sexy profiles that don't include info about the precautions they're taking in their search to fulfill their fantasy. Why assume the worst? Ahh, but my posting here actually proves that I did not assume the worst. If I had I would have reported the profile and been done with it, since solicitation to kidnapping is a felony. quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs I guess the question you need to ask yourself is why this is offensive to you and why you feel a need to intervene. I only saw it as offensive if it were the real deal , and I should think that my reasons for finding an actual solicitation to kidnapping to be offensive would be obvious. I suppose I should be asking you why you would not find such a thing offensive, hmmm? [8|] quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs Do you feel that these people need to include safety disclaimers in their profile? I am new here, and I was not going to make assumtions about such protocols, so part of my reasoning for posting this was to find out that very thing. quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs Do you believe that without these disclaimers we should assume the worst? see above answer quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs Do you feel that this should apply to anyone whose profile indicates that they're seeking something edgy or offensive, and if so, who decides what's edgy or offensive, and how many disclaimers are appropriate? again, see above quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs More to the point, do you feel that your complaint will prevent them from doing something stupid or dangerous? Nope, but it might protect this website from some sort of litigation had it been the real deal, and I am coming to like this website, so really it was more of a courtesey thing. quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs If you're that concerned and conflicted about this particular couple, why not contact them and find out what they're about rather than filing a relatively anonymous complaint? Had they been the real deal, I would have preferred not to give them an excuse to perv my profile, or try to get in touch with me, and to be honest I did think about that for a few seconds, but found the thought of letting them know anyone was paying attention to them distateful. quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs I'm not trying to be combative here, but I am trying to challenge your thinking on this. Oh come on, you are too trying to be combative, (or if not, I would hate to see what rates as combative for you) but I don't mind. I do not think this line of qustioning was mean spirited, and in fact I found it amusing and sort of fun. I was captain of my debate team in high school, and it has been a while, but I really enjoy this sort of game. quote:
ORIGINAL: MmeGigs I don't think that any of us is qualified to judge complete strangers whose motivations and relationships we know nothing about other than what they've put in their CM profile. Yet people do it all the time. Every time they look at a profile a judgement is made about whether or not those people are worth contacting, if they should be ignored, if it should be reported, yadda, yadda, yadda... If no one judged them, why would anyone bother to put them up there in the first place? Is that not the whole point? Oh that was fun! Wanna do it some more?[;)]
