A member dared me to post this thread.

Hi all,

I'm posting this thread at the request of a forum member.

A Single Comment by a moderator, about One Picture, in One Post, has turned into a major debate between Klausspringfield and staff. He is outraged about a comment a moderator made about a picture HE DID NOT POST. The picture in question is attached to this post.

This "political libertarian", as he describes himself in one of the private messages, has referred to the situation using terms like atrocity, assault, dumb ass mod shit, power hungry tyrants, piss poor, and absurd. Not being happy with the staff responses he received, he dared me to post his private messages in the public forum. Dare taken.

Normally, per forum policy, we would keep the content of a private message private. In this case this member asked his PMs be shared with the membership. The other participants agreed to release the messages.

Below are the contents of two private messages. There were some real life names so I replaced them with the corresponding member names [displayed in brackets].

Hi [Curmudgeon],
Please don't take this as me "jumping the chain of command", but Neo has pretty much threatened [Lustingmom1]'s son based on an infraction of the "rules", only he, apparently, sees. In this situation, it isn't even a "close enough to call" situation. The picture in question is one [momssonkevin] posted Sunday in the "Captioned Pictures in the Style of klausspringfield and Lustingmom" thread. Both [Lustingmom1] and I commented in the thread, and, so not to inflate this into a flame war, I also responded to Neo by PM (to which he has yet to respond). Please look at the pic and to [Lustingmom1]'s and my comments ([momssonkevin] only has time for the forum on Sundays, apparently). Maybe you can tell us what is wrong with the picture, from a rules standpoint. All Neo wants to say is that [momssonkevin] has been warned because he is trying to see how far he can go before he crosses the "line". The problem is, that unless this forum has some unwritten rule about mentioning a quasi-legal drug, in explanation for why a naked woman is in the middle of a highway, none of us see what "line" is getting close to getting crossed. If this forum is censoring speech now, about something that doesn't involve sexuality (e.g., rape, bondage, coercion, etc.), I'm not sure I want to be part of it, and I'm pretty sure [Lustingmom1] wouldn't want to either. It was dumb ass Mod shit like this that caused me to leave AI. Nobody wants to be part of a forum run by power hungry tyrants who are using their power to meet their own needs.

Isn't this carrying things to an extreme? Neophyte is not a "power hungry tyrant". He applied his best judgement to apply the forum rules. He just gave a warning about a picture that could logically be interpreted as bordering on a topic not allowed on this forum.

A woman, on a hallucinogen, finds signs she may have had sex, but can't remember, then finds herself naked and alone in the middle of the road.

One logical interpretation is that maybe someone did have sex with her while she was under the influence of a hallucinogen, and was incapable of providing consent.

This forum defines rape as sex with an unconscious or intoxicated person. Since the caption did not mention this implied scenario a warning was a suitable response.​

You can read into it what you must. [Lustingmom1] is at some science conference in Baltimore and rooming in an old friend's apartment. We talked for about 2 min on the phone where I brought this up. She will be back in Ohio on Saturday, and we are going to contact [momssonkevin] to see how he feels about this. We'll make a decision about our continuing involvement with this forum over the weekend. In my opinion, Neophyte is a hard right political conservative with obvious sexual picadillos that seems to plague his like (take Roy Moore as an example). His intent appears to be the "banning" of the mentioning of drugs in this forum, and is hiding behind an absurd application of the rule against intoxicated sex. You, of course, are free to view this as you may, but I really take this kind of political censorship seriously. Look at his arguments, the visual content of the picture, and the caption. Only a zealot conservative ass would draw the conclusions he did based on the picture. Members are sensitive to Moderator's responses because they have virtually unbridled capacity to inflict harm by banning menbers interaction with the forum. Yes, it is a great way to keep things the way the Mods want them to be, but it's a piss poor way of developing a trusting relationship with the membership. I left AI because of a similar altercation with a couple of Mods, there. Muff, being Muff, did little to intercede in the dispute. Out of total frustration, I left and came back only when the Mods left, and only to support [Lustingmom1]. If decisions to punish are being made on the basis of political ideology, I want no part of this forum. Either Neophyte is as I assume him to be or he is virtually devoid of intellectual capacity. Anyway, we'll see what transpires over the weekend. BTW, Neo responded to me in a PM with an equally absurd interpretation of the intoxicated sex rule.

So far four moderators have agreed that they interpret the post as hinting a rape might have occurred. I'm sorry if our interpretation doesn't match yours. You may be right that this forum is not for you. Stay or leave, it's your decision. If you continue to flame Neophyte I'll make the decision for you.​

 

Private Message #2

Message from Klausspringfield

Neo, I'm not being argumentative. Just please tell me what rule [momssonkevin] broke. There is no drug-induced sex in the picture, and there is no hint of coercion. The brother she is looking for isn't even in the picture. And, there is no sex act being depicted in the picture. I'm sure all of us would be more than happy to follow the rules, but somebody has to say what the rules are. As Lustingmom put it, the whole scenario is a bit fucked up, but not in a sexually inappropriate way, especially in an incest porn forum. If she was lying on the ground with some drugged out look on her face, with a guy's cock embedded in her, and some remark was made that the drug that was given her to intentionally get her this way, then I would be able to see your point. As it is, I don't see any infraction here, whatsoever. I have no idea what "line" is being approached in this picture and caption, much less what "line" is close to getting crossed..​

(4) Disallowed Content Subjects (all forums)

This forum is dedicated to the Incest Lifestyle. It is NOT a general porn forum. As such,
these topics are not allowed to be depicted in Pictures, Video, Text, Avatars, or PMs:

• Adult Baby - anyone wearing a diaper.
  
• BDSM
• Bestiality - sex between a person and an animal (imaginary creatures exempted)
  
• Bondage - restricting movement with any kind of restraint (collar with leash exempted)
  
• Dick Pics - close up picture of just a penis, only allowed in this thread: Our Member's Members
• Rape - forced sex, sex with unconscious person, sex with intoxicated person
  
• Scat (coprophilia) - anything involving Feces play
  
• Snuff - death of a person caused by another person
• Spanking - a quick, short, episode of hand only spanking of buttocks is okay.
  Extended spanking (spanking fetish) or use of belt, cane, rod, strap, whip is disallowed.
  
• Water Sports (urophilia) - anything involving Urine play

A person under a hallucinogen is considered intoxicated so [momssonkevin] was promoting Rape. I just told him not to use drugs in his captions. If this explanation is not enough then I will take more stringent action. In the future do not have caption of a person under the influence of a drug looking to have sex because of the drug.​

Message from Klausspringfield

Neo,
You do understand that about 90% of all drug use is VOLUNTARY. What I see you doing here is interpreting a rule to meet your vision of the world. There was no rape being promoted in the picture or caption, also there was no sex being depicted in the picture (except if you consider the woman feeling herself up as sex with herself). Nobody, except the woman, herself, was having SEX WITH AN INTOXICATED PERSON. There could be many reasons why the woman was horny, but pharmacologically, there is no real reason to suspect that the drug was involved in the horniness. [momssonkevin] isn't here to defend himself, but knowing how he thinks, he wasn't trying to imply that a drug was being used to obtain sex. I think that the implication was that it was the drug that explained why a woman was in the middle of a highway fingering herself. The drug was just incidental in the picture, in that it explained a bizarre behavior of the woman. Maybe that was wrong, and I've asked [Curmudgeon] to adjudicate. But, the highlighted rule doesn't apply to either the picture or the caption. [momssonkevin] is a laid back intellectual who would never advocate using a drug to take advantage of a woman. He definitely wasn't trying to see where a "line" was being crossed. He's also somewhat of a genius neuroscientist, so I can see how he would come up with the bizarre scenario in the picture in the first plsce. Doesn't it cause you to question the fact that only you see an infraction (or near infraction) here? I know that you are politically conservative, and I'm libertarian, and I also know that voluntary drug use is one area where the two political philosophies diverge, but try to see this for what it is. At best, it was a totally innocent captioned picture (albeit with incest overtones), and at worst, it was a violation of a totally out of context interpretation of a rule.

Why are you arguing this point. I didn't do anything to [momssonkevin], I just said don't use drugs in your captions. This should not be a problem unless he plans on using drugs in more of his captions.​

Message from Klausspringfield

The problem is your apparent "problem" with the mention of drugs. As you are speaking to me, I would like to remind you that I didn't post anything that led to this discussion. You warned the son of a very good friend about posting pictures that contained drug references. Seriously, Neo, how do you expect me to react to this as a political libertarian? I have to believe that you have a reasonable amount of intellectual capacity, and that your reaction is actually based on your political opposition to the recreational use of "banned" substances,and not realted to anything contained in the "rules". As the ongoing discussion with [Curmudgeon] is going, [Lustingmom1] and I are going to contact [momssonkevin] on Saturday to discuss this matter (which I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know about). The result of the discussion will be a decision by [Lustingmom1] and me as to whether or not we will continue to contribute to this forum. As I pointed out to [Curmudgeon], one of the things that seems to distinguish political conservatives is their ability to accept their abnormal sexual proclivities (based on population norms, of course), is their steadfast efforts oppose ideas that run contrary to their subjective political opinions (like you with "banned" drugs) [take Roy Moore as an example and his involvement with sex with teenage girls]. I'm not inclined to believe that you are devoid in intellectual reasoning, and therefore believe that your assault on [momssonkevin] was motivated by your political anti-drug philosophy. That's why I'm arguing this. I left AI for a similar, but less meaningful (to me) reasons. Yes you are a Mod, and your voice can strike terror into the membership who disagree with your point of view for fear of loosing their connectivity with this forum. Personally, I don't give a shit about your power trip. We'll wait until [momssonkevin] gets all of the info to determine a course of action, and his will be the ultimate decision as to how [Lustingmom1] react to this atrocity.​

Message from Klausspringfield

[Curmudgeon],
So, criticism in PMs is now "flaming"? Also, in my PMs to Neo, I just let him know how I felt, and what I was doing as far as standing up for [momssonkevin]. If you read my text carefully, you would see that, even if it was a "public" statement, it probably wouldn't be considered as "flaming". Please read the text of what I posted on the board word for word, and also what I sent Neo in PMs. The statement by Neo "don't use drugs in your captions." is totally out of touch with the reality of how the rules currently read. I didn't use drugs in any of my captions, and I resent the implication that I mentioned the use of drugs in anything that could be considered a "rape scenario", so please don't accuse me of this. If you want to exclude drugs from any of the content of this forum, then do it. I, personally, think it is pretty oblique, but if you want to make a rule that says "Drugs can not be mentioned in this forum" do it, and that would be fine with me. If there was a rule that explicitly banned the mention of the use of drugs, I'm sure [momssonkevin] would never have brought it up. He had no way of estimating the political leanings of the reviewers of this forum. What I dare you to do, however, is to make this whole conversation public. Then you might get some insight as to what the membership thinks about this, and how ridiculously petty the admin staff is being. You won't do that, of course, because it would reveal to the membership how things are actually adjudicated here, your inability to accept criticism, and your iron fist approach to getting your way. Also, now you are threatening me and, except for insulting your collective ability to consider a counter-point, I didn't have anything to do with the post in question. [Lustingmom1] told me that she came up with issues dealing with changes to the rules that would make this place run more efficiently that, literally, made her pull out her hair, because she was blocked by Moderator opinion and you. I now see the whole "power club" thing first hand. Now, you've played your last card. I either stop arguing this point, or I'm "banned". Yes, that's a really adult way to approach this kind of problem! Maybe the owner should move this forum to a host in Myanmar. I really enjoy this forum and would like to continue to participate here, and I'm pretty sure [Lustingmom1] would agree with me. It's just that if you are going to make these kinds of decisions without considering the opinions of anyone else but the "staff", you are not really advocating the future success of the enterprise.

Reply from Neophyte

It was you that introduced politics into this argument.
It was you that is advocating the use of recreational drugs.
It was you that compared me to a child molester.
It was you that assigned meaning to my post that didn't exist.
It was you that accused the staff and myself of being on a power trip.
It was you that threatened that if you didn't get your way, you would quit the Forum.
It is you that is continuing this argument.

If you had any intelligence, you would go back and reread the original post and my warning and see if anything you are ranting about has anything to do with what was posted. I feel sorry for you for being so narrow minded and obsessed with getting your way. And I would like to hear from [Lustingmom1] and [momssonkevin] to see if they actually share your delusion.​

There is. I can, as forum administrator, overrule a moderator and the forum owner, as system administrator, can overrule me.

As far as fetishes go, this is a niche forum dedicated to incest.
Tying up, beating, peeing on, or raping someone doesn't really say family love.

 

In the captioned picture in question, the woman recognizes signs that sex may have occurred but has no memory of it.
Given that a designer drug was involved, one interpretation is that sex could have happened when the woman was incapable of giving consent. This forum defines sex under these circumstances as rape.
