If the government is proposing some legislation you don't like, you campaign against it. That's how democracies work. What's the problem?

The problem is that Spanner Trust already exists, deserves your support, and isn't a vehicle for ego.

Ah, so that's what bugs your pure Christian heart: campaigns are just vehicles for satanic egos.
Backlash is fighting against a certain kind of pious moralising. Perhaps the problem is that you feel under attack.

Yeah, that's exactly it. You're a genius. Thanks for your contribution. Your Backlash membership is in the post. |

Thank you. And your point is? "There is a big secret about sex: most people don't like it."

On the whole I have to be glad this OP doesn't support Backlash. Imagine the cringe factor if this noble Warrior of Arseclench was arguing *for* the campaign.
|
Your attempt at an insulting me might work better if you didn't quote it from my description of Backlash. Just a thought.  |

That you can't read? I already said I had a lot of respect for Spanner, that the people involved in Spanner do a lot of good work, and that they're not such desperate scene whores about it. I even mentioned Spanner in the post that YOU responded to, so I guess my point is that you can't read. |

When an organisation is on the brink of doing more harm than good (as evinced by the blindness and egoism of the first few pages of this thread) then the point is to take a look at itself. |

Heh, me too. I actually discovered he's not about 19, so it's even more bizarre to me that someone would go to all this trouble to look subversive and maintain some kind of cool 'fuck everyone' facade. And if he really thinks people aren't still shocked by BDSM, he's living in la-la land.
As for being 'self-righteous', what the would be the point of campaigning for something if we thought we were wrong? Hilarious.
|
Once again, if you can't tell the difference between being anti-Backlash and being anti-activism, I postulate that you've just given a perfect example of what's WRONG with Backlash.
Secondly, I think you might need to go to an online dictionary and look up self-righteous.  |

Yes, they do. They are busy helping those people who have run into trouble with the law over their BDSM activities. You know, those people who aren't affected by the law, according to you.

The thing about speculative reality (as made much of by the OP) is that it tends, in the main, to be highly subjective. In other words - one persons reality may well differ markedly from that of another.
Individual perceptions of reality depend on a plethora of variable factors which include knowledge base, experience, environment, self deceptions, blind faith, effects of substance (drugs, alcohol etc.), mental health, physical well being, sleep deprivation - the list is long.
How then may we best attempt to assess reality? Only by argument based upon that which can be tested and proven. The OP has so far presented nothing that can be applied to test therefor is merely extending opinions which reflect his perception of his reality - whatever that may be.
