Perhaps a few men have been driven away. I think of Green Lantern who used to be a regular in the chat room. He was a real gentleman who would respond to those who harass women. His response was on the order of "knock it off." He was on my friends list. It has been months since I have heard from him. This morning, out of curiousity, I checked to see whether he is still around, and I found out he is gone.

Green left but has returned with a new name. I will tell him you were asking about him.

Meanwhile we gained another lovely lady, Exquisite. Make her welcome folks!
Although I've already welcomed her to the site, Freedom, my welcome will be much warmer when she stops using pictures of a professional model that were copied from another website...
I'd made comment about a lady.
It was recommended I refer her to this very website.
I did not, saying ( at the time ) "all in good time."
These days, I'd probably decide on another site. In fact, there is another lady now whom I will not recommend this site as it is.
That being said, there are a few here, who defend moreso than the site, the ideals of what this site is supposed to be.
Jen, Jackie, and Linda can come back like a she-bear defending her cub. NEVER would *I* want to be on the wrong side of these, and God Bless them for it.
Rabbit has a way of blatantly stating what should be obvious in ways that I highly respect, if not always agree with. ( but most of the time wish I'd said it first )
I've yet to see anyone better than Rudie at mastering the repartee, subtlety, and out-right "correctness" of content.
There are a few WONDERFUL people on this site, not restricted to the special mentions here.
We've lost more than a few good women due mostly to bad men. It both embarrasses, and shames me to just be a man when this happens.
With deepest appreciation for those that stay.........
Sorry what exactly did these people do in the chat room? Some one made a
sexual comment? Sure this site isnt a hook up site and not a sex site. But
this is an adult site. Where its members are adults.
Are you not adult enough to deal with such a situation rationally?
Before you all go grabbing the pitch forks and torches grow up a little and
behave appropriately, this site has features for dealing with unwanted
attention. Flag the person if there being abusive and insulting. Block them if
they are irritating you. If some one is upsetting you get the attention of the
site to deal with it. Dont just run away.
But to be honest what irritates me more is the overreaction of some of the
people in this thread.
Your adults. Deal with it like adults not children.
Sorry what exactly did these people do in the chat room? Some one made asexual comment? Sure this site isnt a hook up site and not a sex site. Butthis is an adult site. Where its members are adults.
Methinks that if someone made "a" sexual comment, there wouldn't be a problem.
Adults can be adults, but when supposed adults become mindless inconsiderate animals......
Ill try to turn a little spin on this so as to give some positive feedback. The lady I posted this about did come back. She decided that due to the great people here who showed their support that she would give it another try. I think it says a lot about the great people here when even after continued harrassment a member will come back to the site. As for the post about being adults and handling things like adults, we are adults and do not see the need to put up with juvenile comments from those who view this site as a sexual place. We can all handle the small jokes and comments meant in good natured fun but we will not tolerate out right rudeness. That is not what this site is about.
There are good people in the chatroom. But for the mostpart, the "trash" seems to stay out of the forum. Most people posting here are actually here for interaction with other people, information on nudism and for meeting nice people who share common interests. I would suggest looking at a persons profile first, maybe sending them a message asking about them and then looking at their groups and at some of their posts. That is about the best way to get an idea about a person without getting to actually meet them. If everything you see looks genuine then move on to chat and strike up some convo with them. Lots of great people here in chat and on the forums.
I have made apologies to individuals on the site do to actions of others. I made one just before coming to this thread because she was being attacked due to her choice of a screen name. No where as offensive as many others in use. But I do this individually and not in the public forums.So let the fun and games begin.
The fun and games will be with us as long as tight moderation is absent.
There have been a few with whom I've had running conversations, suddenly gone.
It's a matter of administration, IMHO, nothing more.
