Agendas.... and the people who go with them.
In the last few weeks I have seen so many people out to promote their own agenda, whether it's their website or their club or whatever. Not just people posting here for that reason but in general.
This latest issue with the Nashville clubs has brought the issue into full view for me. I honestly don't know exactly what is going on in Nashville, but I do know that no club is going to cut their own wrist without having reason to do so and Menages isn't about to go off-premise and risk losing business and money without a damn good reason. On the other hand TSC is still business as usual.
What does that say to me? It says to me that Menages is looking out for the best interest of not only their club but more importantly their members.
I posted regarding the whole Nashville change when I first ran into it on the Yahoo group for one of our local socials. This social is planning a get-away to Nashville in August and after a bit of discussion in the group and it being made clear that TSC has not changed (note that TSC is the favorite among this particular group) I was told in an email to discontinue any discussion of the Nashville events in the group. Another member said that they felt it never should have been brought up. The reasons behind both of those emails is because they feel that it will have a negative impact on THEIR group (turn out is low because it's summer - and they are worried about turn-out being low for the Nashville trip because of this negative press). And they don't like that newbies are being exposed to this negative side of swinging. Well guess what folks, there are negatives sides of swinging.
In my email back to the Group Owner (social host) I pointed out that socials and clubs need to take responsibility and stop just trying to cover their own asses but think about their members as well and make sure that they are doing what they should be doing to stay within the law. I also pointed out exactly what he was doing with his social that would be questionable and could lead to serious issues not only for the club as a whole, but more importantly for the location where their parties are held and the members.
Guess what folks, swinging has risks! And people should know about the risks as well as the good things before they make the choice to swing. We shouldn't shelter newbies from the potential risks of swinging, and we especially shouldn't do so because we are worried about the effect that it might have on our club, website, group, etc.
