Now, I'm really getting scared. I, for the second time in a week, totally and completely agree with aquarius.
First of all, the people who own this site own it. We do not. Some of the members feel that since they pay their membership fees, it gives them some sort of right of management. It does not. Our decision, as members is whether to continue to subscribe or not. That is where our desicion-making rights end.
Secondly, as aquarius was saying, but I feel stopped short, is that we can throw blame back and forth all day long, but the bottom line is that we are all adults and we know right from wrong. We know what lines not to cross and we know when we cross them. It's called a conscience. We all have one. Some of us don't listen to ours.
We know the potential dangers caused by indiscretion. We know the difference between disclosing that a certain model missed the hygeine bus and contacting other models' families and friends. And, yet the transgressors want to try to hide behind the elementary-school defense and say, "Well, they did it, too!"
I respect management's right to ban anyone at any time for any reason, and they don't have to disclose it to the other members. When the fertilizer struck the ventilator earlier this year, I voiced the opinion that some of the most onerous and dangerous of the guilty simply went into hiding, flew under the radar, and were lurking. It seems that some of them have been sussed out.
It's simple. Use your head. What can possibly be gained by prying into the private lives of any other individual, model, actor, politician, pornstar, anyone? Why would someone feel the need to invade someone else's existence to that degree?
And, my other warning which goes unheeded. Facebook and Myspace are the two most dangerous electronic entities so far known to man. They serve no purpose and expose the world to your life. Why would anyone allow billions of strangers access to not only their information, but all of their "friends"?
We all have a right to privacy. Broke Straight Boys is only trying to protect that.

This has obviously been a very stressful week in here. Or at least it seems like a week. haha I hope your computer problems are resolved or are at least getting there. I also want to thank all the people who interceded on Slim's behalf to clear up this misunderstanding.
