First, an experience update has been posted. Click the cover image if you'd like to go there now. Also, I've made a slight policy chage: If you submit an experience, and it gets featured, not only will you get your normal BME membership stuff, but you'll also get four one month coupons for IAM. They can be used to extend your account, a friend's account, a stranger's account, or a combination thereof.

I didn't finish that software until after processing this experience set, so it's not included in the emails directly, but before your eyes tear up, I've sent these coupons to everyone who's submitted a featured experience in the past two months. Some of you will even get multiple emails since a number of people have had multiple featured experiences.

Other than that, I'm chuckling at the pseudo-intellectual garbage I'm getting from a self-proclaimed bisexual/feminist who was recently deleted first for spamming (quite a large number of people were rather confused as to why they were getting 'i'm booking bands for a dyke bar in long beach and i'm looking for queer or female/female-fronted bands' messages), and then for attacking bisexual girls that she felt “weren't really bisexual enough”.

That is, her theory was that if you're attractive and female and put pictures of you with another girl on your page, you were just using it to attract guys, even if you publicly identified as bisexual and had numerous girlfriends in your life — thereby harming “real dykes” because men would assume they're just “girls gone wild”. Ignoring how incredibly insulting it is to say that only unattractive girls are bisexual, let's assume for a moment that this delusional statement is true (and they really were straight girls kissing other straight girls):

          BIG F***ING DEAL.

If a straight person gets off on making out with a person of the same gender because it gets their partner turned on, fine! That's their business. Hell, if I want to get drunk and kiss a dude, that's my right, and I can even post pictures of it if I feel like it. If you don't like it, don't do it and don't look at the pictures of others doing it. If you do, go for it and have fun. The whole point of this site's TOS structure is built around creating a safe space for people to express their personal desires and know that they're not going to be attacked for them.

Maybe I'm crazy, but “be nice and enjoy life” seems like a pretty simple concept.

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
