I've read this discussion board for eight years and counting and this is my favorite post ever... Not that my comment adds anything useful to the thread...

For those of you, who only dabble in the literary cocktail that is the Minnesota Discussion Board, Hello! For those of you, who hate the board, Piss Off. For those of you who are leaving the board, Goodbye. For those of you that live on this board, Discuss.
I read this board rather regularly and find it to be amusing. It is always nice when an actual discussion occurs but rather we see random posting that leads to comments not questions. Heaven forbid that people have a difference of opinion on a discussion board. What about the trolls? Oh the humanity… Bitch Please! It is god damn discussion board, and by the limits defined by this one, aliases are allowed. I say post on, disagree for the sake of discussion and troll on because sometimes it is comical.
Self importance is my favorite part of this board. It is wonderful to watch the level of narcissism rise as people begin to post more and more. I understand that the providers on here are merited to have a since of narcissism, which is wonderful. The hobbyist that develops one correspondingly similar is as well amusing. I do not believe that there is anything wrong with this approach to the board and I am truly glad that it exists. It is the spice of the board. I know it is not narcissism if it is true, and I named my right hand narcissism and we are best friends between the hours of when my pants are down and shower time.
Attention seeking has to be the least amusing part of the board. I can only roll my eyes back so many times before I start forgetting whether or not I put shoes on today. I enjoy the shill, I enjoy the photo threads, but I do not enjoy when at random a hobbyist makes a brown nosing compliment in the middle of a thread started by a provider. Seriously get a room! HA! Yes, I know I am guilty of it because it is some sort of trap set by the provider and my penis during our last session together, but they all seem to be seriously off topic. However, the least enjoyable thing is watching a hobbyist fish for attention from a provider. Dare I say it… Bitch Please… your dick is gone but not forgotten, I am sure she will remember to have the right size condom ready for your next appointment.
The most interesting part of the board is the importance of fear and the control of community climate. Whether it is posting of a bust or the drama that ever encases the lives of a provider, it is interesting to watch the climate of the board change. Whether it is the most resent scare, current vendetta, or LE involvement it all comes down to justifying control. There was a simple study done where participants where told to take a survey and at the end they were going to be paid 6 dollars. Half were handed 9 dollars at the end told to count it to make sure there was only 6 dollars and then sign the receipt. 50% of those participants gave the 3 dollars back. The other half were handed 9 dollars asked to count it and sign the receipt, but the person handing the money over answered their phone and had a 12 second conversation while the participant counted the money. Almost all participants kept the extra three dollars in this situation. They justified what seemed wrong and made the world right by taking the extra money. They were in control of the money and justified it. When someone does you wrong should you justify your wrong by controlling the climate of the community. I don’t know. Is it checks and balance? I don’t know. Is it interesting? Yeah, I keep looking for the button that says “want to know more?” But it becomes droll after a while. This is where consenting adults come to have a good time. It is not a dungeon of disaster where someone went too far and now justifies their hate. Safety is the most important thing. That does not mean LE, but means we keep each other safe from each other. This board is meant to help us know that climate.
This board keeps us safe and it keeps us entertained. So go forth and tell me I am wrong or agree. Tell me I forgot to mention the sex and the theory of why masturbation is a security risk.
