ORIGINAL: ARIES83 WD, were that group's legal problems associated with people bandying about the word "slave"? The first, no, it was an eviction we were fighting. The owner of the property got nosey. Freaked out at the sight of all the dungeon equipment and then proceeded to evict us. Turns out, his manager lied to him about our group and he had no idea we were a BDSM/Fetish group. We lost, but the time it took to set the court date and proceed with a hearing allowed us just enough time to find a new place. That was 17 years ago, and last I heard, the group (no longer a non-profit) is still going strong today. The other, yes partially the reason, was a yearly weekend long camping event held on private property. The neighbor found out and went to the township and they changed some laws then tried to cite the home owners for breaking the laws that weren't in effect yet, as well as keep the event from taking place. Master had to go to court and fightt the citation, which he did and won. The event wasn't able to be held on his property any longer (new ordinances wouldn't allow more than 4 or 5 cars overnight on his property), but someone else stepped up and offered up a new venue so the event still took place but it was the last one in a four or five year run. For those wondering, the event was called Whipstock. I have a link to a couple old news articles around here somewhere, although I don't have the original newspaper article where a map of our home was front page news.
