Actually, this wasn't an article against online relationships. It was an article outlining how people that don't pay attention can be dangerous.

I'm currently in a relationship that started online more than five years ago. I am now married to the woman I met and we have a baby girl. I know online relationships work.

However, the online BDSM community and the real life BDSM community are two entirely different things, and people that don't know or understand that are the ones at which this article was aimed.
