Ah john, knew you would make it....hi again...too bad about the chess.....she has not said yet...but i too hope that she will talk more about qualifications.


I like to think that eventually I get around to most of the interesting topics.  And don't lament about the chess, I'm not good enough that you're missing anything worthwhile.
 
As for "qualifications", I'd rather start with something more basic.  Every group can have whatever qualifications they want, no skin off my nose. 
 
But her reference to "protocol of traditional lifestyle values" implies a sense of historical fact.  And before I'm tempted to fillet her, I think it's only fitting to find out what those protocols and traditions are, where they come from, and from whom she learned of them.
 
Then we can sharpen the knife.
 
John

General Reply to OP:

I havent read the whole thread here, except for about the first page.

I think people, not websites are responsible for their own safety.  I mean...there are "predators" everywhere,  in all walks of life, not just in bdsm forums. I dont see how the OP can hold a particular website accountable for not protecting it's users.  Or why alt or b.com or whatever are being trashed by some people.  If you dont like a site, dont use it.  I dont understand the urgency of the message here, or what the 'warning' is all about.

I agree with Marietoo.  I did read the thread, but I don't get the gist of it. I was hoping there was some links to other websites that were as cool as CM here.  But I don't want or need anyone claiming to be "guard" to stand up for me and try to protect me! Uhm, especially from a site on the _internet_ that I can click the X on the top of the screen to close at any time. 

I signed up for b.com, didn't find it very tasteful so I don't go there.  That was my choice, not because of someone else's words. Since I've been on my on in the adult world at 16, I think I can pretty much make my own judgement calls.

Hayzeus Almighty! 

Actually, I am wondering if this is the new WTH?, Jessykaka, or any number of others we have seen.

And the billions of members and mentors that will soon invade us, will any two be online simultaneously?

Yours,

I actually have some good friends that have had success on alt.  They have made some good friends from there real life.  I just think it is all about what it is that you are seeking, and the people you are searching for.  Every site has the good and the bad.  You just have to use your head is all.


I agree. I met some good friends through alt, and one very special woman.
 
PS- texancutie, your name doesn't do you justice.

Dear Sir Discipliner,

Of course, this is a reality. I do not deny this.  I do not also view it as evil to make a profit off services provided. I do not disagree with any of the statements you have made in your comment.

I do not also believe it is a site's responsibility to babysit their members, but what I oppose is their targeting of  a group who seeks to do so.

There are other issues, not related to BDSM at all, but to customer service, that many do also take issue with. ALT is a poorly run company that has gotten so large, it has lost sight of the importance of those they make their money on.

Historically, companies like this eventually fold. Smaller companies, which do focus on customer service eventually take over the market.

And the cycle rotates, over and over, yes, I do know this too.

Sometimes the cycle is broken. Sometimes.


Regards,

Savanna

Okay.  A brief essay on the joys of doing good, by benji G. dog

In every organization, there are always the self proclaimed saviours.  In hockey, we call them referees.  In politics, we call them politicians.  In BDSM, we (apparently) call them TICs.

These Do-Gooders, also known as Dog-Ooders, always have a pet cause, be it the environment, safety, or sluts being used respectfully.  They latch onto this, and decide that anyone not up to their par with this single issue is worse than Hitler, Ghengis Khan, and Dr. No combined. 

As such, they vow to bring down this Satanic ritual of an opponent, regardless of the opposition.  Despite the obvious demand for this "drinking of newborn's blood," the organisation must be brought to its knees.

And often, it is.  And, in 100% of the cases where the outlet is destroyed, but not the demand, it comes back in another form.

However, by then, the Dog-Ooder has a fait accompli, and can proclaim their victory from the balcony, but also claim that the battle has only just begun.  In order to truly succeed, all such evil must be stopped.

And so, the Dog-Ooders can continually win, without really accomplishing anything at all.

Yours,


benji

For some one like me, who is not so easily amused, you Bad Dog you.  I just killed the record I had going! Due to some worn out welcomes who are staying another day, I haven't so much as smiled or grinned in the last 4 days. But no I had to read your Dog-Ooder post and whew, now I am LMFAO!! (Be warned, there wasn't much there to laugh off to begin with. ::sigh::)

I would like to point out a major difference I have noticed while reading your comments to this post, and then, if everyone would like, I will continue to  try to answer individually, although answering the same questions is somewhat a waste of time.

The overall tone of the other sites, and ALT in particular, is that of submissive players who top from the bottom.

Oh yea, I know I am going to piss off many, but I am pleasantly surprised by the leadership role of the Male Dominants on this forum, and secondarily, the female Dominants.

There also seems to be more respect demonstrated here, with some exceptions.

I thought I would add this thought, to either piss you off or offer words of praise, born of My observations of this site in the short time I have been on this forum.

I am not new to this site.  I have read this forum before and had even posted.

What I mean by traditional BDSM values are ones that those I have given praise to, will agree. Yes, this does mean embracing some of the Old Guard concepts. (*ducks). 

No one from TIC will attack any of you, so you may put away your spears and daggers.  No one is going to tell you how to live the lifestyle.  We are only interested in those who are of like mind.

To some, the very thought of honor and integrity is so foreign, they can not begin to grasp it. This attitude is spawned by the living of a bitter and unfair life, which I do understand.

I am not a Do-Gooder. If you knew Me, that would not be a term you would use, but, as was said above, in time...

I am not going to go anywhere. I have been up against the likes of all of you, and people like you. There is a common cross-section of individuals here and I am familiar with each mind-set.

I refrain from using overly intellectual language because I do not desire to puff Myself up, but to be understood by all people. I applaud those who are well-versed in philosophy and commend those who are well-read.  Not everyone is of this motivation. 

Lastly, I am surprised at some of the judgmental comments here. I realize you have your own little cliques and groups here.  We do not seek to upset your groups, nor do we seek to judge you.

As a side note, I would be more than happy to meet with any of you, real time, should you reside in the New York area.

The first annual party of The International Core was originally set to be held at Paddles in NYC, but it was too small.  It was moved to the largest private Dungeon in Manhattan and co-sponsored by one of the largest Fetish organizations in the Northeast.

As far as the website. No, I did not think you would find the website impressive, and it is a good thing. If it were too commercial and clean looking, there would have been much more to say about this, no?

The actual content exists on the forum. Yes, a php forum. Again, decide which arrows to shoot and which targets you prefer. I do not ever think one can please everyone, all of the time.

Regards,

Mistress Savanna

There are many who have become knowledgeable in this lifestyle but are not qualified to participate in it.



Care to elaborate on who decides who's qualified and who's not? Or at least you could explain what the hell you mean by that statement.

For those of us, like me, who've never heard of you or your organisation (I've been around online kinksters for maybe eight years and never heard of you. Isn't that amazing?), you must accept that your OP came across as nothing more than one more declarative, self-aggrandising rant.

I for one would not welcome a vast influx of "do-gooders" picking apart what I say based on some "qualification" criteria that I have no awareness of and that I have had no opportunity to approve or debate.



How is it this guy (Fitznicely) "got it" and all the rest of you have been duped by a pretty picture? 

This chic is selling, you've all bought in, she's got a nice little forum (us)...and you all are sucking at (her) corporate teet?

(It's probably a guy...and even if it isn't...wake up folks...you're being taken for a ride....hopefully soon the MODS will check this chic out, do a few cross searches and find out what this chics true agenda is).

(Trust me folks...it ain't saving the BDSM world).

Savanna...you've been here since what....August?  And you're now the sudden expert on all that pervades and infiltrates the BDSM world?  Thanks for saving me honey.

Save it for someone that gives a shit baby.

Dear BT,

My post comes of retaliatory, I suppose because this is My  nature and I am an admitted rebel.

Psycho is more like it.

I am an acquired taste (that requires Pepto Bismol) and am very familiar with individuals who interpret Me in a negative light (No doubt).  Fortunately for Me, I am not in a popularity contest (that is rather fortunate for you now, isn't it?)Those who will question Me, in a respectful manner and allow Me to explain that which may be unclear, will probably become friends (unlikely). Those who continue to read into, or misunderstand what I have to say probably will not (honey, no one's "reading into" anything you say...you're quite clear...I'm surprised it's taken so long for so many). I can live with this (well, aren't you a giver?).

As far as omitting detail, I am more than happy to explain in depth (you mean...more than you have?  It would be a profundity of data...can I handle it?), any aspect of what I have said here that remains unclear.

I was removed from alt, under My old handle, for promoting a non commercial website that is designed to provide assistance to those in the lifestyle (and to think there might be people here that would possibly assign the liklihood that you were just completely full of shit and others...including the owners of the aforementioned {other} sites might have have just one day said..."Ya know, we need to move this chic along...send her on her way...").  Am I pissed?  Sure, but it goes deeper than this (yes, well...you are deep if nothing else...and I suspect if nothing were the whole of your arithmatic world....less than 1 would fit your description well).

If My post seemed alarmist, that is because it was intended to be (Noooooo!!!!!). Passive, nice talk does not get the attention of people who wish to bury their heads in the sand.

I remain on ALT, not as a paid member and not to solicit for potential partners but to maintain a presence that many have come to rely on (I'm confident you're the source of much needed sustenance). The blogs are viewable without joining the site, so I encourage all to read them (excuse me...brb....oh wait...I forgot...I actually don't give a flying fuck).

I agree with you about the integrity of ALT.  This is yet another reason I have written this post (well, thank you for that....thank god someone's watching out for my interests).

The International Core is not for everyone. It is a group of individuals that observe the protocol of traditional  lifestyle values, in addition to upholding the personal values of honor and integrity.

Sure, this may sound like a candy-ass statement (well, I actually would have said things a smidge differently...but you do have the floor), and there are many players who will continue to be offended by My words (actually, I'm offended by your existence...but that's just me), but, as  I have done so in the past, and will continue to state My opinion, because there are many more that agree with Me than do not (something tells me you're stretching here....just a bit).

Time will tell, yes of course.  People are threatened by My very presence here (well, I certainly am...in fact, I can't even stop my right leg from shaking) and I expected this. I did not expect the level of hostility, (it's uncalled for, isn't it?), but again, I can deal with this (you're strong...you can get through this....I believe in you).

Please feel free to ask Me any additional questions you would like (I actually have none at the moment...but I'll get back to you...I have your number).

(Oh and...by the way...so does everyone else).

Regards,

Savanna

I bet the site is owned by Lam, there is alot of football talk there............



I had heard that Lam owned Bondage.com, Alt.com and CollarMe.com.

Lam are you fucking with this chic?

She's trying to change the world you know....and you're fucking with her?

I hereby denounce my registered agreements with Alt, Bondage, CM and yes...even Yahoo (Savanna just sent me an email explaining to me that George Bush owns Google and Microsoft....fuck all you bastards...I'm taking my shit back to AOL....yeah...see if I give a shit what you do now).  I have the fucking power baby....

Savanna, honey...baby...you still love me don't you?

I'll be there in 6 hours sweety...just a few change overs in Atlanta and Denver...and I'm all yours...it's you and me baby...
