This next post has taken me several attempts to write, and is being published as several people have asked me for an explanation of some recent events. I attempted to cool off prior to writing this post, but I apologize if I failed and my anger/hurt/sense of betrayal still shines through. No, wait a minute. Fuck that. I apologize for nothing.
On February 1 of this year, I wrote about my home in Second Life, Stonehaven. As in RL, there comes a time to cut ties and move on.
I recently sent a notice to my Family advising them that they were banned from the three sims making up the area known as Stonehaven until further notice. Those that know me know this is a first in my Family. As far as Dommes go, I am very lenient with my girls on where they can play, who they can play with and what nature of games they can play. The only stipulation is that when I summon, they come.
So, for me to pass down this edict, the underlying issues must be pretty severe.
There exists in Stonehaven two individuals I used to consider very close friends of mine. People I would have bent over backwards to assist, should it have been asked.
One of the individuals used to own a sub. For the sake of the innocent and to protect all parties involved, lets call this sub “Nic”. Nic left this person’s family, and was subsequently collared by one of my Brats. The individual that used to own this mystery girl we’ll refer to as “Nic” responded by unfriending every person within my Family and I believe my inner circle of friends, as well as banned us from any sim he was an owner of. This was all done without discussion of any form. Dominant? Petulant bitch? You be the judge.
Nonetheless, I avoided this individual in an effort to let the matter pass hoping that time would cure any ill feelings and we could at a later date calmly and rationally discuss the matter. It should also be noted that this individual, like myself, was a Warden at Stonehaven at the time of this incident.
Jump forward a few weeks, and I log on one day to discover that I, as well as any of my Family members that were Wardens in Stonehaven, had been “un-Wardened”, for lack of a better term. This decision was made by the owner of Stonehaven, the second individual referenced to by myself previously. It has been implied on the blog for Stonehaven that this decision was made as “several of those removed never visited Stonehaven anymore.”
Most of you that know me know I made a concerted effort, almost daily, to walk various members of my Family thru Stonehaven. Next to my own island, Stonehaven was the most visited sim by myself, as well as several others.
Was our removal from the Warden ranks connected to the first mentioned issue stemming from the sub being collared by one of my Brats? We’re still referring to her as “Nic” by the way. To be honest, I don’t know. What’s more important, I don’t care. What is important is that I was once told that I would not be removed from the Warden ranks “ever” unless I asked to be. So, I’m not upset over the possibility that this was the result of collusion between two prior friends. I’m merely hurt by the betrayal and a broken promise, again without prior notice or discussion.
So, there you go. My explanation for my actions and the notice sent to my Family. Do most of you care? I certainly hope not. The only people with a real interest in this matter are those that are in my Family. Am I right for my banning of Stonehaven? Damn right I am. Last time I checked, it was ***Yasmin’s*** Brat Pack. Do people think I have over reacted and blown this matter out of proportion? No offense, but you have apparently mistaken me for someone that gives a shit.
There’s several good sims within Second Life that will provide us with the break and entertainment away from our own island when we need it. In time, we’ll find it. Until then, we’re exploring and finding a lot of potentially promising and playful sims we were unaware of before this matter came to pass. To be honest, its kind of taken me back to the exploring I did prior to finding Stonehaven.
