I think the dress issue comes from here. http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/boards/manchest... They are a new and very nervous couple who haven't quite plucked up the courage to get to an event, or they get there and just have trouble with that final step. But hopefully in time they will manage it and realise there isn't really anything to be nervous about. But it happens and so far I only see the problem being with this one couple so it shouldn't be blown out of proportion unless there are more problmes I'm unaware of.
I thought she looked more school Ma'am. I'm very tempted to mrss mi spellong up.
I just find it funny/sad that people can accept a wide range of different tastes and fetishes and yet can't handle the odd word spelt wrong or can't handle the fact that some people are dyslexic, or weren't educated very well or that english isn't their first language. I can understand having a go at someone who just doesn't care about their spelling or grammer as they aren't even thinking about making an effort, but having a go at someone who makes and effort and doesn't get it perfect is actualyl quite nasty. Still maybe some of these people just aren't intelligent enough to work out that teh actually means the. Furry on the outside, Fluffy on the inside. | |||

So you were dissapointed or dissatisfied, with an event you didn't attend? Isn't that a bit like a film critic, writing a critique about a film they haven't seen? I'm sure it occasionally happens, but I doubt they would admit it, as their credibility would be destroyed. Even if the rest of your post had some merit - and I wouldn't know, as I also didn't attend - you don't start out from a credible position. So everything you say after that, is pretty well fucked, as far as objective opinion is concerned.
~ Also, it would be good if you had your own home, as I still live with my mum, you slut. | |||

Not getting into an argument here but i think using the fact someone has made a few spelling errors in a post you didnt agree with is being petty. Anyways as far as Kinklusive goes i think the guys and gals who organised it did a very good job considering there wasnt a huge crew. They dont have to hold the event but they do for everyone else to learn new things and have fun. Everything has teething problems and as said ya cant please everyone. I didnt go to the do after the workshops but i know its not easy to find somewhere that has the room for a certain amount of people, a good location in the centre for people to get to and the licensing for people to be able to play etc. I think theyve done the best they could and people should be thankful to them for holding something that people can enjoy.

First of all I'm also Dyslexic. I'm not going to advertise the fact everytime I blog or write something. Majority of the time I 'think' my spelling has improved by being on my PC more these days but also if I do 'send' anything I've wrote I can always edit it. Which means that often I only show a few spelling mistakes because they look correct to me and I've not realised that its incorrect. Spelling should not be an issue as not everyone is perfect. If we can read and understand what someone is writting then who realy gives a dam about spelling? I don't! The point made on this is a 'point of view' regardless whether that person is correct in commenting on whether they went or not as they already pointed that out and if they feel that in some way they can 'improve' on something then that is a constructive point not a put down. We all have voices but sometimes people are too fast in judgeing others as I've experienced lately (Not on here I might add thankfuly) But the whole point is that we are all DIFFERENT, SPECIAL, and NON JUDGEMENTAL in one anothers sexual and personal habits. Kinkclusive was a first for me yesterday and also for my husband. Now taking into respect that I've been to Lash only once before I still got lost around the place and my husband did get more 'lost' than I did till he realised that the toilets were 'unisexed' lol!! I felt like a kid in a sweet shop with all the stalls and it was great. Hubby found LOADS of stuff HE is interested in and that really supprised me as hes far more vanilla but very open minded at least. To find the vast majority had vannilla clothing was brilliant as I think it were the other way it may have scared more 'newbies' and first timers off if not prepared. And to find those who did have or made a bigger impression on clothing I thought were very beautifull and made an example which my husband now says, 'I can see that on you' with a big smile. I must thank Beelzebunny for her talk on corsetry.
The fire play talk was brilliant and very funny also. Thanks to those involved too. (Sorry can't remember the names but I'm sure someone will comment on that too One thing that I may add as the only really negative point of Kinkclusive on the day was the BDSM talks on the law and how it effects use individually if these 'laws' are passed. To put this on in the middle of all the other talks were a little 'off putting'. When I say this I mean that as a first timer I was enjoying learning other 'stuff' with my Husband but as I was listening to these legislations I became more aware of how frightening the prospect of us as a couple could be. A mixture of anger at how the government can treat us like this and that I was scared that I will be denied my own rights to be what I am only just understanding of myself. It did put a downer on things and althoughI realise how important it is to know the facts I think it waould have been better placed maybe later on the day rather than in the middle.
Last but not least....A big thank you to all there either in help or converstaion. We were made welcome even though we had to leave a little earlier than planned due to the fact we are both suffering from colds **sniffles & coughs** After the light of day, darkness comes and kneels to obey!!

darkgirl, On the legal side, we came away fairly positive (for ourselves, rather than for the state of the country as a whole) - though I agree the "BDSM and the law" talk was a bit more of a "downer" than the rest, perhaps a sad necessity. Seems to be that if you're married and the husband is the dom, you don't have much to worry about - especially if you're not into taking photos or videos of violent acts and you don't do anything likely to require a trip to the doctors to sort out. As Mrs C. was telling me, she has more than her fair share of bruises from her non-BDSM activities anyway (don't ask).
Of course, just because we're unlikely to be personally affected by the law doesn't make it right or acceptable, so no excuse to do nothing | |||

Thanks for that To some aspect your right, It may only affect some people but if they get away with aproving these legislations... what else will be imposed? This country is getting worse not better.
Starting to feel that I should do something but it is hard when your new and scared of this side of me being known to all. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but I am a worrier. After the light of day, darkness comes and kneels to obey!! | |||

I went to the Friday night doo and the workshops and I thought it was well orgainsed and a lot of time and effot had been put in and they should be commended. I am not knocking Silver Arrow as we are all allowed to voice our comments, thoughts and ideas but I found, if anything the venue was under attended as there was lots of space and it didnt appear overcrowded. The only bad comments i've heard are about the after party which appears to have let the weekend down. I hope that they organise the event next year. | |||
