As some of you know one spends very little time on Fet
contributing anything particularly meaningful. Oh one wanders around there
reading... hello nosey... and keeping half an eye on things, but there is
little in the way of content produced for that site. It's for a lot of reasons,
lack of time being one of them. In an average day one might get an hour online
and half of that is spent writing for this blog to entertain Him and way too
many of you at times.
The other reason is that one has issues
with management over there. It's their website and they can run it anyway they
choose. They do the work, sustain the escalating costs, deal with the banks...
actually that one causes some of the issues one has, but we will get back to
that... and deal with some of the trouble makers. And that causes some of the
other issues that one has, but we will get back to that as well. As a site it
has grown beyond all expectations in the five years one has been on it and it
is the only show in town, in spite of many valiant attempts by others.
When they started out it was a very different place. They
had this quaint idea that we would all just get along 'cos we were kinky. It
was naive at best and stupid at worst as a belief. Like any community we have
kinks that are not accepted, especially by the banks as it turned out. To get
that all important funding Fet had to get rid of anything controversial; rape,
incest, bestiality, cannibalism... the list goes on. Now most people were ecstatic
about that. They didn't want to rub shoulders with those types anyway. They
never thought about the fact that their kinks were illegal too and that
vigilant eye might turn in their direction next... bless them.
To most they were just trouble makers and their protests
over the treatment they received fell on deaf ears. They were deaf in part
because they never heard them as the trouble disappeared overnight along with a
few supporters, who while not fans of their proclivities, did have issues with
how the whole thing was dealt with. Poof and their accounts were gone. It was
very effective. Oh there were a few who got mopped up by mistake, but it was
peaceful for management.
That of course brings us to the next issue one has.
Management is this group of individuals who donate their time in an effort to
keep things civilised. For their sanity and probably their safety they are anonymous.
They are also not very even handed as the TOU is worded in ways that are open
to interpretation. The damn thing is like a crocheted shawl it's that
loose. The upshot of this is that issues
are not dealt with a cohesive manner and complaints? Well they just get
silenced.
Your writings no longer trend on Kinky and Popular or Kinky
and Plagiarised as some whits say (K&P for short). You piss off the wrong people and become labelled
as a trouble maker and you will find yourself on a time out from the site and
getting your voice heard. Being as the site is not American (in spite of many
such erroneous beliefs) they do not subscribe to the idea of freedom of speech.
You are silenced. And you will remain that way for a year or until management changes its mind.
Now what has sparked this grumbling you may wonder? Well the
other day one loved a piece of writing. It was tongue in cheek and irreverent
and it poked fun at some of the offerings on K&P. It didn't trend, for
obvious reasons, but it didn't show up in one's list of things that have been
loved either. Someone had poked someone
in management it would seem and got on their shit list.
So why does one spend very little time creating content for
this site? Well it's a protest. A small and insignificant protest admittedly. See
one has this belief that any group can be judged on how it treats its members,
particularly those members that question its decisions. People going poof in
the night or are gagged is not a good sign in one's books.
After all, you never know who might be next...
