Life lesson and all that rot

[fredericks]

I had half a mind to make a long-winded post on this, but brevity is our friend: Jason Fortuny is a douche. Trust and honesty are hard to come by offline, and are often mere illusions online. Use common sense and don't share your information and maybe it won't come back and bite you on the ass.

And, yes, it was Dan Savage's article and weigh-in on the subject that first enlightened me.

hm, so one guy has nothing better to do than fuck up people's lives. Of course responding with personal information like that is stupid so it seems like it's stupidity all around.

There's funny drama going down because of it and it's like watching a car wreck. Marriages being broken up and families embarrassed and the like. It's one of those things where you feel bad for people that were looking for a willing sexual partner but then you want to smack them for sharing such intimate details about themselves immediately.

Didn't have a chance to read the whole article, since I'm at work, but I skimmed through it, and...

Dear God.

DUDE. I was foolish enough to click over to the Encyclopedia Dramatica webpage Fortuny set up and, I mean, the pics up there? Hoshit, dude. Aside from having orifices thrown in my face, guy's a serious douche. Dear God, indeed.

After reading all sorts of commentary on this situation, I find that even Mr. Fortuny doesn't piss me off as much as the feminists who decry the BDSM-ers as "fucked up." "Oh, how horrible, those men get off on hurting women!" "Oh dear, that woman gets off on being beat up!" Bitch, please.

As for Fortuny's prank: you're right, he's an ass. In most of those men't cases, their only "crime" was trying to use the Internet to meet other people who shared their sexual interests. Perhaps they were too forward with their personal info, but they don't deserve the public humiliation.

Bwah! I think the whole part about the woman -wanting- to be a sub was lost, along with the bit about feminism being a way for women to take control of their own bodies. Smacks across the head all around.

Fortuny, you mean? He comes across as being such a prick that he doesn't care. He puts a lot of his life on blast in his journal. Of course, does he share his person information in his journal? Nuh-uh. He really does need to be spanked in the worst way.
