Getting technical details right?

If Laurel doesn't want that sort of story on her Web site, I can understand why.

Yet it was posted at first, and she must have seen it then. Was this submitted just before El Paso and Dayton?

Well, if I were in the situation of Weaver's character, I would not be thinking "Gee, I must take care not to overstress the engine and possibly shorten its life, even though I am being pursued by a homocidal trucker."

It wasn't the speed per se; it was the handling that seemed beyond the limits of a Valiant (unlike Steve McQueen's Mustang).

Of course car chases are mostly created by clever splicing of the footage. Yet even with that I've seen a few amazing scenes done by talented - and brave - stunt people.

Laurel gets hundreds of new stories submitted every day. She's the only one who accepts or rejects the new stories, and I highly doubt she has the time to read them all, or any of them. She passes submissions through a spellchecker, maybe skims them for underage content, and looks for formatting and gross punctuation errors. I suspect that most of it is software automated. Had she actually "read" your story when you submitted it she may have rejected it then.

I don't know. I didn't read your story. I have no idea whether it is objectionable or not. But enough readers may have read your story and found it objectionable enough to alert Laurel and complain about it. And after getting enough complaints she decided to actually READ your story and deemed it unsuitable for this website and pulled it. Don't ask us. Ask Laurel and see what she says.

It's her website. She can pull any story she likes. If she finds your story is objectionable there's not much you can do other than rewrite it or find another website to post it.

The ever-given explanation. Laurel can't read the stories upon submission. She can only scan to some extent. The submissions volume is simply too large.

If it disappears that is her decision too and most likely happens on more than a scan.

I have suspected that Laurel has to streamline things if she is to have a life and remain sane.

There's another site that actually proofreads and corrects submissions. (They show you what they did.) However, they only have about 55,000 stories now and they have more than one staffer on that task (possibly volunteers; I'm not sure). Literotica has hundreds of thousands of entries and may have gone over a million by now. I haven't seen recent stats.

It was posted after El Paso and Dayton.

I confess that I wrote it to troll the Burn the Bitch crowd, but I also wanted to make the point that eroticizing female infidelity is an adaptive trait from a Darwinian perspective. A violent response to your mate is likely to either cause you to loose the mate to divorce, kill the mate or get you killed. This makes you a reproductive looser. Responding with arousal will not kill you or your mate, might allow you to keep your mate, and your sperm might even win the competition.

I haven't posted there, but have read some of the comments, and a lot of the discussion about that category. I'm just gonna go out on a limb and surmise that all of your points about competition and adaptation would have flown well over the heads of most of the readers there, even if Laurel had let it stay up.

WTF? You deliberately troll your audience and then come here and rant about their reaction? What the fuck did you expect them to do, send cupcakes? What do expect us to do, sympathise?

That was the one and only time that I deliberately trolled the BTB mafia. It was in response to the BTB mafia trolling the Loving Wives and even IR section.. It didnt hurt my feelings that this particular story was taken down because I was surprised that it was published.
