BOOM! There goes a myth (2)

It seems that as UK temperatures climb and the frozen north slowly warms, another round of bitching is going to erupt.

There have been half the number of log ons to IC in the last 24 hours than there are pidgeon racers in the north of England. Log ons take note, so people who log in and out count as more than one. In truth there are very rarely more than 200 hundred people logged in to IC and probably a similar number of people who contribute 95% of the posts on here.

The BDSM "scene" is a myth. It is a collection of small, sometimes very small, interest groups, that cling to an idea of community so as not to feel they are insignificant. There are not enough people interested in anything but the mildest, simplest elements of BDSM to generate the numbers of punters to make more than a smattering of kink events viable.

When a large city can only muster enough kinksters of all flavours to make a couple of events a month viable over time, the writing is on the wall. If the same people always form the majority of regular attendees at these events it is little wonder that playground politics set in. Some graduate and leave to join the real world, returning occasionally for a reunion before getting on with their lives.

My advice, lose the uniform, take responsibility for your own life and grow up. :-)
