What to do when the Majority can't handle a Minority of One

[BLoved]

You can't get any smaller a minority than one person.

It is a very sad-looking majority when the majority is so insecure in their beliefs they decide a minority of one is too much of a threat to their way of life.

A comment for Love, Part III:

This is an excellent story and I am so glad you published it under BDSM (where it should belong)! Thank you so much.

Unfortunately due to vote-rigging by members of this forum I'll be submitting delete requests, again.

Once deleted, I'll re-submit them and we'll see if the vote-riggers want to persist with their harassment of me through my stories.

That's very inconsiderate of you. Laurel and Manu deal with a lot of submissions here, and you're giving them extra unnecessary work expecting them to satisfy your whims.

Do you know about vote sweeping?

When will you learn to post in the rights forums? I suspect that you're doing it just to piss us off!

What to do when the Majority can't handle a Minority of One?

These days I think usually they throw him in prison.

If you feel this is the situation, maybe consider playing nice guy for a while. When the new kid moves into the neighborhood, he first has to win over all the other kids. He can't just walk in and expect everyone to play his games. It's simple human nature.

You want to take on the majority, make friends, give gifts, bribes, etc, make a coalition.

What happens when every place you go you're the minority of one? Are you a martyr, is there something wrong with all of the communities you engage, or is there something wrong with you and the way you engage every community you enter?

Any normal person would wonder if it might be option C.

A Very Shocking Discovery About Literotica
After reading all 3 parts of Love, I googled BLoved and ended up in "the ethics of casual bdsm discussion board. What a SHOCK to read how members treat=verbally abuse each other and especially BLoved!!! Very unprofessional.
See http://216.150.69.38/showthread.php?p=34253368

perfect explanation of just exactly what i feel with Master! ty

Get outta my head!! Excellent!!!

And yet the stories continue to be down-rated by 1 votes.

A 1 vote means "I hated it".

Hated the story, or hates the author who wrote the story and willing to do whatever it takes to discourage said author from posting to Literotica?

Hard to imagine anyone reading a story they hate long enough to actually vote ... but that is what we are to believe.

I submitted the delete requests last night.

We'll just keep doing this until either the haters stop or Literotica figures out a way to stop them.

Don't know, but I do know what a pubic bone is. Helpful, yes, no?

Or what? You'll leave? Promise?

Go ask in the Author or poetry section about low votes. People have been complaining about it forever. If you are going to be an ass on the boards, it's smart to have another name to post your stories under.

Wouldn't hurt you either, to write something new instead of wasting all your time here on the boards. Even in your writing you are living in the past. Time to move on, dude.

Interesting that you use childhood as a model, considering the fact adults are supposed to be tolerant of views that differ from theirs whereas children have yet to develop that capacity.

Considering "making friends" here requires those of us who reject the 'ethics' of casual 'bdsm' to pay lip-service to it, no matter how insincere, I fail to see the point.

This is a public board devoted to bdsm. Why should anyone who practises bdsm subscribe to the group-think of casual 'bdsm'?

Unless casual 'bdsm' is the One True Way and the fanatics won't let anyone post in peace unless they also subscribe to the 'ethics' of casual 'bdsm'.

It is nothing more than abusive coercion.

So tell me, how does one post to a forum where the majority believes abusive coercion is a viable method for keeping a forum free of any other point of view regarding bdsm?

Thanks for the admission.

Thanks for the admission.

It's not an admission of anything you nicotine stained idiot.

Of course it is.

It is an admission that vote-rigging occurs here.

Demonstrates we're not dealing with reasonable adults here, but fanatics.

BiLoved is an attention whore. He has a war room in the basement where he tracks every thread he starts for views and replies, along with votes for his recycled stories.

I think that's why Beloved left. He left the door unlocked one day and she walked in and finally figured out why she hadn't gotten fucked in a month.

no one is saying casual bdsm is 'the one true way', just one of many ways. you seem to be saying that your way is the 'one true way'.

and stories get voted down all the time. I've had most of mine trashed by trolls from the GB. doesn't stop them being good stories.

actually they are crappy wank stories, but you all know what I mean. If your work has been trash voted, then after a couple of weeks you'll find the ratings go up again.

 

[BLoved]

My way is that of a straight male master.

You won't find me trashng those who are gay, or those where the female is a mistress.

I don't do poly, but you won't find me trashing those in closed poly relationships.

I was invited to start a discussion on ethics. I did that. I stated my position regarding the 'ethics' of casual 'bdsm' ... everyone else decided to trash me for it.

No one bothered to defend the 'ethics' of casual 'bdsm'.

So whose way are we all supposed to agree with?

The majority of posters here, obviously.

So insecure in their own beliefs they cannot stand to see anyone disagree with them, so not only do they trash the person, they trash the stories written by the person.

Fanatics.

 

[seela]

My way is that of a straight male master.

But does it work the other way around? That the way of a straight male master is your way? Or can a straight male master have some other way than your way?

Because in the ethics thread it often sounds like you expect everyone to play by your rules or otherwise they are unethical and dysfunctional abusers.

Of course it happens. What are you going to do about though? By promoting your stories in places not for that purpose, you are only inviting it.

People are free to do whatever they wish, as long as it isn't illegal.

I recommend my approach and advise against casual 'bdsm'.

I've provided many reasons for this in the ethics discussion.

 

[BLoved]

Except for the fact it has already happened once before, and I didn't announce the posting of the stories last time.

We're not dealing with tolerant adults here.

We're just faced with a majority of fanatics who are determined to harass anyone who doesn't agree with the 'ethics' of casual 'bdsm'.
