		<description>I just have to say, Bull Hynes is the biggest jackass in sl. And this has to be known. He picks on the smaller people. If you open a new slave auction house, he will go after you like he has done to many of my friends, making it difficult for them to do anything. Bull is nothing more than an old ass hat with a big ego. True, he gives Texans around the world a bad name.
If you’re thinking about being sold in Bonanza- think again. Having your IP address checked means that this man will know everything about you and can steal your identity. Do you really want to risk that? Not only that, but checking IP addresses is clearly against LL’s ToS.
So bravo, Mr. Hynes, you’ve singlehandedly have become the most hated man in sl, ever checked how many people have started hate groups against you? How many slaves you’ve had have ran because they grew brains and ran before it could get worst? And how much of a mature grown man you are by not listening to complaints and people with a higher IQ than you? Do you just always laugh and mute them?
So, to the slaves being sold by Bull Hynes. Beware of the true monster that dwells within that man.</description>

		<description>Oh and one more thing for dyer. I am native American so dont even try and drag my people into this. For your information the Native Americans are not judgmental at all and bdsm is way closer to the way that women behave in our tribes than in western society. In fact in every society but this one women are not the people that take care of the family the an is. why is that i wonder? could it be that men are stronger,faster, and more able to cope with physical stuff than us girls? not saying they are smarter but they are stronger and i dont know about other girls but i show respect to the person that putts food in my belly. k im done with this thread

		<description>Look at my name. Look at it. Yes i am named SLAVE Sviess in SL. Yes i took the name because i wanted to explore slavery in SL. Yes i have enjoyed it. Yes i have made many friends because of it, and YES I ENJOY BEING SUBMISSIVE. The whole debate about whether slavery in games is right or wrong is stupid. ITS A GAME. what part of that dont people get? if i dont like my Master i can leave or i can block him. i dont tell people where i live or any info that would help them find me and that means that im as safe as you can get. Have some fun and stop being little whiny bitches. Its a free country and i WILL use the words slave and master and yes even bitches if i want. on top of that if these things are in aMature area it is impossible for an underage child to gain access. they would have to either hack in or use their parents social or credit card. If your kids can do that without you knowing then this game is the very least of your worries.
Sorry about the ramble but seriously people get a life and leave people like me with the life we choose. NO ONE LIKES A BUSYBODY.

		<description>I don&#039;t play second life or any of the games mentioned... and it has been a while since I considered myself &quot;playing&quot; at ... well I&#039;ll collectively call that wide variety of experiences and experiments BDSM... I fell upon this blog completely by accident... and inexplicably stayed to read every post.. a few comments for any that care...

First I am amazed to learn that a community such as second life exists... where people can express the true nature of their being... I remember living in various places in the mid-west as little as 10 or 15 years ago... an the closest &quot;community gathering&quot; being hundreds of miles away (we&#039;re a bit more prolific now) but still anywhere in the world with internet access you can log on and connect with like minded people in real time... isn&#039;t technology grand.

Secondly I think the online auction role play is really pretty harmless.. not mind and life altering the way it has been suggested... I mean even if no rules or strictures were put in place to protect the slaves which it sounds as if there were (if your offended violated brainwashed etc... turn of the computer) this seem the safest most sterile method of exploring our darker fantasies that I have ever seen described

Finally... I think everyone is too hard on poor dyer... LOL God love him (no one else will) but he does try SO hard to make coherent sentences... I mean... he seems closed minded and afraid and judgemental to us.. but lets face it most anyone involved in BDSM has ... shall we say an evolved since of acceptance... I mean he is obviously uninformed and perhaps a bit ignorant... but he is trying hard to have a civil debate... I haven&#039;t seen someone try so hard to convince me of my own immorality in years.. and I for one congratulate his courage.. and welcome lively debate (its a problem of mine I believe all can be made to seen the light with enough debate ... or spankings.... choose the appropriate method for the circumstance)

Anyway the last part is archaic references for dyer... to go read about

Who was it that said &quot;Ignorance is the birth mother of all fear only through exploration and understanding can we conquer that most vile of enemies&quot;

		<description>I met a girl named Shelby a month ago. I am now her master. She use to be really good until she started working at Miran Vista Senior living. Whenever I tell her not to do somthing she simply tells me no, then when try and spank her she refuses to cooperate. I feel I shouldn&#039;t have to hold that red headed brat down to scold her. Any suggestions cause I do love her and I&#039;m not willing to let go anytime soon

		<description>Man things really have changed eh?  From the Lindens intervening and stopping a slave auction in 2004 because it was offensive, to them turning the cheek to probably over 100 gorean sims.

		<description>I think Dyer has a little issue with coping with the real world. He seems to have this pretentious thought that only his and his idealogy is legit. Its a little sad I admit; Slavery is still legal in some other countries. However, Id like to pose this question to anyone opposed to this idea of a slave auction. How can you be an Internet slave? Clearly, no ones hands are chained and bound to the keyboard for [Insert supernatural creator here] sake&#039;s. Its a matter of intellectual property and enjoyment. If the person was unwillingly, they&#039;d turn off their monitor.

		<description>I really don&#039;t think that closed minded people like dyer should even deserve opinions some times. Three quarters of his arguments against other people having fun was based upon his ideology of society standards that he is trying to force down other people&#039;s throats. Why can&#039;t people realize that just as people are different, so are their hobbies and what they define as, &quot;fun&quot;? Personally, I think that participating in a slave auction may be some what amusing, so long as my girl friend came with me. :p
Since this is the internet, it&#039;s perfectly legal, you don&#039;t see people shutting down all of the chatrooms and IRC channels where people openly dominate and own pleasure slaves, do you? The only difference is that SL actually has a 3D environment.

I think that the entire problem is being blown way out of porportion. How do you solve it?
People who enjoy the lifestyle of such slave auctions should be able to attend to their heart&#039;s content as long as it is kept safe and private.
People who strongly disagree with the entire idea of it, based upon religion, or racism, or whatever point they&#039;re trying to make, should just stay away from it and mind their own business.

Problem solved. ^^

		<description>whew dyer, your post explains a lot hehehe

toy is conservative and is a proud member of the young republicans federation.....   which allows a person to be what they want even if a liberal says it is wrong..... toy has never recruited..  Gor isnt something that would be able to servive if people were recruited into it... you see a very minute part, in your wanderings in TSO, of what Gor is about.. you have been invited to Dark Virtues to have open discussions, of course you will never go there.....  toy thanks god everyday that your kind of narrowmindeness is a very small minority...  toy will continue to pray for you and to pity you dyer.

		<description>Dyer I do not recruit minors.. I am BDSM not a pedophile.. In fact I do not recruit I will leave that to the military... I think alot like you in fact with a few minor adjuctments...

First I do not support Abortion as a birth control.. I think it is wrong for a pregancy to be terminated in lieu of Health risks to mother.. Rape or incest.. that is why I support it I think it evil to make a say 14 year old suffer giving birth because she was forced to have sex against her will...

I am alot like Coconut being offended at the vanilla label... I am offended at your statements labeling all who play in the bedroom as you have.. I too wish the utopia world where we are free to explore.. and be who we wish to be without regard to being persucated for those desires

I am BDSM and you need to accept the fact that I am not like the picture you are painting for the world... I accept that there are those out there who claim the BDSM title who are like you are saying though.. both in Sims and in real.. but I do not see them as BDSM... maybe we can create a new word BDSM right and put those players and pretenders in that catergory..

Dyer we are not taking over the game.. we are not taking over the world.. we are simply stepping out the closet so to speak and entering the daylight of the virtual society of Sims... Many of us have not done so in real and this gives us the chance to be known.. yes it is only virtual but it is still a breath of fresh air
