Well I'm glad it's there as it's confirmation that they are all the same person, but maybe because he said he's not supposed to be posting yet?  Dunno.

I read it as satire in response to the conspiracy post.

So did I. I'm puzzled that some see it as a confession that they are socks.

Bravo, Lady Pact!! I stand up and applaud you for having the courage to say outright what I merely hinted at in some of my posts!

I don't know how many times I've gone back and apologized to some innocent newbie for the way the majority of Y-O-U have treated him when he's attempted to introduce himself! You keep b*tching about the people this forum attracts, when it is the majority of Y-O-U who are so rude to the decent people, they don't ever want to come back! They wouldn't lower themselves to be a part of you! And trust me, the only reason I've stayed (even though you gave it your best shot to "tear me a new one" when I first arrived) is because I was d*mned if I was going to give you the satisfaction of running yet another newbie off the site!

You absolutely FEED off each other. One starts in and pretty soon the hive starts swarming, and you all start stroking each other's egos and wow aren't you just the toughest thing on this website. The rest of us are just shivering in our boots....NOT!

Did anyone ever consider that by giving attention to those you deem "unworthy" of your presence, you are merely opening the gates for exactly the same sorts of people to keep pouring in? Stop giving them attention if you don't want them here. The Internet buzzes. The word will go out that they'll be ignored and they will crawl to another website.

As for your "can be" and "might be" and "the potential to be nasty"...trust me, you ARE! If you want to attract decent, intelligent, wise and worthy people to this website? Then you've got to start acting that way yourselves.
And if you can't say something nice? Kindly keep it shut. I assure you, no one is going to miss the comment.

Stands by Lady Pact and submits this post
Respectfully,
Ms Clickofheels

Exactly when did you decide that a person's introduction has to conform to your preferences?

This site, really IS a kink site.  I don't give a crap if you are here because you have decided that it is a dating site and that means that everybody had better tailor their profile end every thread to suit you.  Shit, why don't you say that tops and bottoms aren't welcome here?  Grab your package because your nutsack is feeling a bit empty?

Don't be fooled.  I really am still here.  Your bloated fucking ego and supposed popularity that allows you to belittle folks just coming into this doesn't wash with Me.  I have watched you play mean girls club in intros, but I'm here to tell you..... no fucking more.

I'm here... Still.  Every time you decide that you will ostracize someone because they don't suit you, I will still be here.  Every.  Single. Time!  The fucking mean girls shit stops now.

It seems that only certain people deemed to be on the right side of the snark fence are considered worthy of posting here and it saddens me to see these forums go the way of so many others. It also strikes me that some posts claiming to be against ´attacks´ on others are doing exactly what they are accusing others of.
