I hope we can be critical of something without being presumed irresponsible. When posters use phrases such as: "a must read for those new". It's hard not to infer absolute terms are being used, when the list could be further from the truth. Indeed, as Snark stated these signs are consistent with a sociopath. However, to lump-sum would be a little misguided, and Stone stated that was not the intent but rather provide a guideline. The problem, at least to me, with the safety police is that it is impossible to use any list at all when it comes to safety. They are disjointed, to be exact. Either the claim is obvious:

"Goes to great lengths to get revenge on people."
I can only imagine an example. Hopefully a lot of maniacal laughing was used.

Or the claim is dubious:
"Has multiple online identities for interacting with the same communities."
As Lady FireinIce essentially disproved, not putting my real name on my yahoo messenger account actually promotes my own safety.

Then there is a third example I realized, the claim is opposite of reality:
"Has no BDSM references or friends you can talk to."
"Criticizes the BDSM community and refuses to participate, especially if they never were part of it."

I hope I can be forgiven for not wanting to hang out in a warehouse with some bald guys. To be completely honest, I find people who go to "dungeons" a lot, seem to be the most creepy and furtherest away from reality. Being part of the BDSM "community" doesn't make someone suddenly less dangerous. In fact, I feel I could argue (with equally strong premises as aforementioned, i.e. none) that they are more dangerous than normal people.

In conclusion, I feel that Snark's post is probably most accurate. If someone falls under the "obvious" category, then you would want to stay away from this revenge-seeker regardless of his or her sexual appetite. All non-obvious points listed are quite dubious/wrong, and should be viewed as such. Which, ironically, will cause the reader to question the integrity of the list at all. My hope is that it won't come to that, and any sane person can view any list like the one above with the grain of salt it deserves.
