It is difficult for outsiders to see the difference between abusive situations and play between consenting adults. I used to work with domestic violence victims & there definitely are a few people out there who are truly violent abusers who try to cover by calling it BDSM.
However, I was pleased to find out about places like alt.com recently. I think that networking and participating within a community of like-minded individuals can help protect people from the real predators.

I absolutely agree with you cindy. That is exactly the reason why us life-stylers need to hold each other accountable, why my slave holds me accountable. This is very important to understand, especially since my slave also has work(ed) in a similar space as you have.
I have no tolerance for those who are abusive bullies, hiding behind something as beautiful as BDSM

i have an idea. What if you were to take questions about Master/slave lifestyle that were emailed to you and posted the question that was emailed to you (to ensure the privacy of the questioning party) and answer it. i know a lot of people (including myself) who have questions but they are too personal to ask in open forum. Just a thought..
