I deleted a thread when it had 47 views and two comments. I thought it would be of interest obviously others did not. :-D

Such is life. ;-)

I deleted the other night because a certain male poster decided to add smut to my thread. In the middle of the night I find that decidedly creepy. It is also a well known fact on here that I do not like that type of post on any thread I post, so the poster either did it deliberately for effect so that his fellow men/women could have a laugh or he is just like that anyway. Either way it was not the gentlemanly thing to do in my eyes. It was the middle of the night....sheesh! I don't expect to find men crawling the web for chat of the smut kind on GR.

I have become increasingly wary of smut talking men. And also those who post smutty jokes....especially those with children as the basis........although it wasn't the case this particular time.......who are they?. What is their goal?....is it the beginning of grooming?...does anyone know who they are siding with when they decide that the poster who talks to women on the net with smutty content is an OK guy......creepy is what I say.......what is their ultimate goal......and just as important......have they done it before and what was the outcome?

if this thread had been deleted by now.....I wouldn't have added to it. if it hadn't appeared in the first place maybe there wouldn't be any other posts on the subject either......I do wonder what the poster's aim was when at first this thread appeared......not what has been written since no doubt.


all I can say is that lessons can be learned.....watch out who you befriend on the internet.....If they talk smut and you don't know them.....ask yourself why they would want to continue in that vein......also ask yourself....am I encouraging them with smutty answers which could be taken as a green light to continue on to other things.....women beware......you won't get an apology......maybe they think it is their right to speak to women any way they please......maybe the so called majority of women on this particular site encourage them with their acceptance.....are you one of these?.....well, whether you are or not....beware.....some are not all they seem to be and you won't find out until it is too late........remember......smut at first.....then it gets worse.


An apology wouldn't have gone amiss but no.....threads like this appear instead

To cause more harm than good......shame on them

if someone asks me to delete.....I will think about it

I deleted it.....so kill me!
