New around here, are ya?



If nearly a year is new, I suppose so. Really I just have this annoying habit of expecting others to be decent people. I get disappointed a lot, but I can't seem to stop.

Heads up, Mindel doesn't have Huntington's, Rurode isn't dead, and I haven't been raped by my brother.


HUGEFEMALE IS REALLY LOOKING FOR A GOOD CHRISTIAN MAN THOUGH

Also, Lady J is probably not a hot female sex therapist.


HUGEFEMALE > all.

Pigtails... /sigh. Forget it.

I have this really annoying habit that I hate when future teachers talk about getting beaten in public with their boyfriends watching then lament about the lack of decency in people. I think you meant to say,

Maybe she just means that some day she wants to be able to afford that sexy teacher's outfit so she can be pissed on while she's wearing it.

I bet Pigtails is slowly working out that internet forums, with the anonymity of pseudonyms and no faces, and a written medium, have different social rules and behaviour than face to face behaviour.

I bet she's learning why we still distinguish between "RL" and here; as if the forum and our behaviour on it wasn't as technically, empirically real as what happens off the net.

I bet Pigtails is slowly learning to recognise it's hard to distinguish "tone" in text, and the need for paying close attention to very wide context over time. That is, sometimes it's better to hold off and treat a single text as if it means a multiple of mutually exclusive things, until she's pinned down it's real message later.

She's getting sophisticated enough to reply to texts in such a way that they answer all of those mutually exclusive things at once... or at least she's prepared to bounce back from being wrong cheerfully and shame free.

Ugh. We have a bunch of huge gorges on campus, and two students jumped and committed suicide this week. One of them yesterday (Friday) was posting on Facebook just hours before he died.

I'm working on it. Some of these things I struggle with a bit more than others. Thanks for the vote of confidence Ari, I appreciate it.

My boyfriend and I had a long talk about my participation in the kink community before I participated in my first scene. He doesn't have a problem with it, so why should you? I've learned my lesson that people here aren't interested in this particular aspect of my life, and I have no intention of bringing it up again.

I don't see anything wrong with a teacher having a highly kinky consensual sex life. Students and Teachers just shouldn't be exposed to each other's sex lives, unless intervention needs to happen for something illegal going on.

Like any student or teacher, I think they are both served best by having annonymous internet identities, where they can move in social circles that are protected from other circles in their lives.

Absolutely. And as I've said before I have absolutely no intention of ever talking about my kink lifestyle (or poly lifestyle for that matter) with my students. Not only would it be highly inappropriate, it would also be incredibly stupid and would probably lead to me being fired and unable to get a teaching job anywhere else in the country. I may be too trusting of people, but I'm not an idiot.

Better answer:

Time to put on my other hat.

I am asking the programmers to gather together the information from the poster making threats. I will be issuing a subpoena to AOL to get your name and address and then I will be taking this matter to the FBI. Threatening bodily injury to another person over interstate wires is a federal offense. I especially take offense when that person happens to be one of our administrators. I will leave this matter to the authorities. You are also forever banned from this site. If you show up again, I will file civil charges against you for harassment, and in addition to the jail time you face, I will take your house and assets (or if you are a minor, the house and assets of your parents).

I am also closing this thread. This has gone far enough.

Well, if you're doing it in public, I'd say pretty much anyone has the right, and one of several reasons, to have a problem with it.

Except I haven't really been doing it in public. At least not in the context of "public" which it seems you are thinking of. The fetish ball was hosted at a local night club, which is on private property. The weekly kink parties I regularly attend are hosted at someone's house, which is also private property. If anyone was bothered by anything they saw at either location, they were free to leave, but everyone attending had a rough idea of what to expect. The reason why I said it was in public before is because there were other people around.

Oh and nice one Sweetums. Smiley: lol

OK. That's not what public means, though.

This is all true, but you never answered my question from a few weeks ago. Are you prepared for when it accidentally comes out and you get fired? I mean, you sit here and tell us you know to keep thsoe lives separate, but you've posted details here, and I think pics too. You should go back and edit them all out, because when you have skeletons like this in your closet, they always find a way to surface at the worst times.

That is something I've thought about, yes. Mostly from the standpoint of thinking what I can do to prevent that from happening, by taking down pictures and making my social networking profiles private/hidden to non-friends. You're right that I probably should take down the two pics that I have, but as far as details, other than mentioning the town I live in and the university I attend, I can't recall too many identifying details I've listed. I just can't fathom that someone in the future who happens to either work for the school I will work at, or who has a child who is a student of mine, would happen to stumble upon this website and look at my few posts about BDSM or poly (which at this point will be several years old, so they'd have to do some serious digging) and wonder if it's me and start doing some research. That just seems entirely too far fetched to me. The only thing linking me to this site is the OOT group on facebook, which no one would be able to see once I set my profile to private anyways.

I don't know though, maybe I'm just rationalizing.

First, to the original topic: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Only way it would be more internet is if he tripped over a LOLCat, the bleach bottle hit him in the groin as he flailed to keep his balance, and all this was recorded on his webcam.

Now, as for Pigtails: Honestly, she is an adult. She knows the risks of living in the kink lifestyle, as do others among us. It's the same risk people run using Facebook when they are supposed to be sick, get caught and fired over. It's the same risk stars take when they record their sexual exploits and then aren't careful with their security.

In the new world of technology, you have to be extremely careful what you say and do, and where and WHEN you do it. With camera phones, social networking sites, and internet access pretty much everywhere, gone are the days of being consequence free for behaviors that people find objectionable, whether it's the uptight Catholic that sees S&M as a sickness to your boss that doesn't get why you called in sick so you could pick up the latest video game.

Could it burn her in the future? Of course. So could a picture you take of yourself in a **** Uniform at Halloween when you apply for a job in the Israeli Embassy. So could any of our posts here, to be perfectly blunt.

The world is changing, and the lines between our personal and professional lines are blurring very quickly. So do keep that in mind the next time you have this awesome pic that you just need to share...
