What concerns me is how frequently I see people dismissing abusive, threatening behavior as probably just some public kink. I have repeatedly see people dismiss obvious red-flag behavior from a bullying partner as "eh, maybe so-and-so is into that kind of thing."

Capitalization games are really close to being my number one pet peeve with the scene. I and a friend used to text back and forth messages on ridiculously domestic subjects using D/s capitalization, like: "you will drive the scion and purchase Chips for Me to consume, and you will gas up the scion, for I will be…

Hmm. Well, it was definitely post-Ultra (because I remember there being a cool light effect during "Barrel Of A Gun") and definitely pre-Exciter. Must have been just a one-off scheduled by a local radio station or something. And Stabbing Westward was definitely there. Their show was not very good.

Making fun of Depeche Mode is always funny, even though they're a pretty good band. It's just like how it will never not be funny to joke about how Keith Richards is a cyborg zombie.
