Infighting, the best spectator sport
Bear with me, because this one's been fermenting for a while. Note: no links are guaranteed SFW, given the nature of the community.

Way back in September, user [info]morilkasstory was posting (really, really bad, imo) poetry to the lj BDSM community [info]male_dom, and users were complaining. In October, there was a major wank, and the situation threatened to descend into all out war between [info]male_dom and [info]dot_bdsm_snark. There was a very funny post by [info]drcruel and that seemed to be the end of things. (Full disclaimer, I participated in this a little.)

Things were quiet until this month (although there was more poetry), when [info]sheobeys entered the scene. Her first post comes the same day as [info]morilkasstory's last one. This post ignites a different war, one that [info]sheobeys has continued to ignite on several occasions. Her second post is particularly important, because that's where the first accusation of plagiarism happens. There's also at least one deleted post in this time (no caps, sadly

After some doings in locked posts, the community gets this little gem. In the comments, [info]hitonihi links to all sheobeys' articles found on a Gorean website. Community reaction is basically "lol, wtf?"

Then, there was another deleted post, directing people to pictures...promptly followed by a similarly incomprehensible post by [info]dadawg105. There is some confusion in the comments, but people assume he is [info]sheobeys' master.

Then, [info]maidenofmidian drops the bombshell you all probably knew was coming: she thinks sheobeys and morilkasstory are the same person. They both plagiarized from the same Gorean website, and they share the same habit of never responding to comments. The community explodes into a flurry of does it matter? and you're a bitch, so why should we believe you?. Of particular note is the mod's response to the plagiarism. No one is suggesting yet that [info]dadawg105 is also a sock, but it seems only a matter of time. Regardless, the community seems to have been the recipient of well-planned and concentrated trolling for a number of months.

I agree in re: baggage.

Plus, the male doms who are especially assy toward everyone have their brands of assing all but pompom-squeed by society, basically. Hurr hurr yeah put dat bitch in hur place, etc.

However, the cool ones are just amazingly - the sheer WITHERING CONTEMPT I've seen the mete out on dumbass Goreans and dumbass male doms is a beautiful sight. I still remember one smackdown; I actually c/p'ed it though I don't even remember where it was or who the dom guy was. Stupid bookmark failure. *cry!*

Either way! To the irritant, one of the cool dominant guys said: "Yes, sonny boy, we get it; you are a dominant. (Not a 'dominate'.) No, you are not my dominant. Or [female user]'s dominant. Or, indeed, the dom of anyone on this list, so why in fuck should any of us defer to you automatically and cater to your every whim because you're a dom like, oh, about a third of the people here (and yes, that includes women, you paragon of brilliance)? Don't attempt to get your internet spankety-spankety control fantasy fix on by being a goddamn asshole to everyone here; it's rude to subject people online whom you don't know from Val Kilmer to your kinks when they are not interested in you or your kinks. You are a dom. Congratulations. The world is not your submissive. If you do not cease to behave like the kind of I-just-discovered-Gor-and-think-myself-to-be-the-big-man imbecilepretty much everyone here hates, we will be all too happy to turf your inconsiderate ass And knock off the homophobia too, lest the banhammer more swiftly find your backside. To put it in terms you'll better udnerstand: loln00b lrn2etiquette. Straighten up and fly right or get out."

In that case a clue happened! The n00b guy was all 'HAY IM NOT SUBJECTIN POEPLE TO MAH oh wait shit fuck sorry'. Was never the most progressive cookie in the jar, I'd wager, but the next time I went to that page he was still posting and his threads didn't consist of only a long, long column of smackdown-posts, so he likely lost the 'tude and got a clue.

As kinks go, I'm only along the lines of perhaps a leisurely curve (seriously, admit to a close friend that you dig the idea of bondage...and sometimes they start to feel sorry for you for being embarrassed about that and assume you had a very fundamentalist upbringing XD) but - yeah. i was all, EXCUSE ME SIR, I'LL JUST BE HUGGING YOUR KNEE IN JOY.
