since when is being honest a crime?

I just read a very interesting post Master or Mouse -Stand by your words.. She makes an excellent point when she asks why people no longer stand by their words. Here on ALT, it's because you don't have to. If you read many posts, eventually you will run into one where someone was hurt. It's usually not physical injury, but mental and emotional pain are just as serious. A couple of weeks ago, one woman posted about the "dom" she met. After he played with her emotions and then stole money from her, he disappeared. That's when she learned that he was a recently released convict. She had met him here on ALT. When she tried to out him, her posting must have been pulled. I've not been able to find it again. I wonder how many more women this man will be allowed to take advantage of. How many more will he hurt? Will the next time be physical? Yes, yes, I know. Safe, Sane and Consensual. Get to know him first. Meet in public. We all know the rules. But people make mistakes. They think "not me" and mean it. Does that absolve us from any responsibility? Should we all really just turn our heads when we see this happening and take no action? When you read the Terms of Service, you see how the players can get away with it. They can claim you are harassing them or attacking them personally. ALT will hold you to blame. If you see dishonest behavior, you're not allowed to bring it to light. If you know someone has hurt someone else, you're not allowed to say anything. I constantly find myself astounded that a life style that reveres honesty and open communication would so blindly allow the dishonest to run rampant. There are a lot of people who are quick to say, "it's not reality. Get a life." You know what? It's not MY reality. In my life, liars get their just rewards. |
