Psynymph,
Thank you this topic. it has been long over due. My experiences in chat have had an impact on my forum posts as well. I used to live in chat as well as share my bdsm experiences on the forum. I rarely go to chat anymore do to the issues mentioned by many. I did stop by recently but realized noting had changed. It is very sad that a place that once was home for many is no longer so. I personally choose not to be apart of a chat where bullying and intimidation is used in the guise of respect so someone else can control me or others. I am not a rude person by nature so watching what was happening in chat was more than I could stomach. So it is my choice not to go there any more.
