Hey Donnie!
Lots of people here are suspicious naturally.
However, there is no reason to worry if you are what you say you are. At least not until you try something that can potentially be harmful to the whole E.A. as a website.
I have not seen where you did that so you are just as welcome as anybody else.
I think it is your avatar that could set some off here. They see you as young and... well... I just won't go there and you can read between the lines.
O.K.?
Your story sounds pretty fantastic to me. As an old bar fly I can tell you from over 30 years of observation that a young, mouthy guy in a bar is at least a thousand more times likely to get beat to death than castrated... so be glad that you are here instead of buried. There ARE worse things than what you have been through, although at your age you might not see that, yet.
...however, if you have that kind of luck then I guess that you are in the right place. Especially since you have gotten and survived the third degree from a 'concerned' member.
Certain people have tried to get this place closed almost form its inception by a fellow who called himself Bboy online, he is deceased now.
I had seen a site for women called Pleiades shut down because they let minors on the site and therefore violated some laws with content or possibly propositioning a minor? I am not sure which.
SO, I will claim the responsibility for making and keeping people here paranoid from time to time, just blame me and write it off as a survival mechanism for the site. However, I was in no way involved in your case, and I am sorry it happened if you are what you say that you are. However, your story IS unusual, almost like a fantasy story in the Archive, you see.
The GOOD thing the person who PM'd you did was they kept the gang off of your butt with all kinds of questions and embarrassments and such, so take heart and know that the people here are dysfunctional to a degree, at least, but they DO care to take care of their own... you are joining that... O.K.?
