Okay, people. As long as it's been established by some people in the thread about living circumstances that anyone past a certain age living with their parents is "pathetic", let's try this one on for size.
Three people I know in real life, who I won't name, have told me that they think tickling, and a tickling forum, is pathetic, and that NEST is nothing more than a tickle orgy. My reply was: "Tickling is a sexual interest, just like anything else." The tickling forum is merely a place where people who like tickling get together, to discuss not only tickling, but also other topics. As for NEST, I told this people that while I've never personally been there, I hear that it can be a good experience, where people make a lot of friends. These people don't share my view of tickling, the TMF, or NEST, but, such is what I told them.
Imagine if any of these people came on this forum, and started making posts about how this forum is pathetic, the people on it are "sick", and NEST is a tickle orgy. I dont suspect they would be around very long. A. They know very little about tickling. B. They dont know the people on this forum, and C. They've never been to, or experienced NEST.
The point to my post is this: Essentially, these people who aren't into tickling, are coming onto a tickling forum, to pass judgement upon people they dont know, about an interest they know very little about, and about an event they're never been to. I suspect one of two things would happen. They would either get A. Warned to tone down their rhetoric about the forum. or. B. Banned if they didn't, for insulting an interest, and people they know nothing about. Over a decade ago, long before I joined the forum, somehow, a friend of mine had discussed with his sister that Mitch likes feet and tickling. The girl said she would never date me, for one reason only, not because of where I live, but because she hates to have her feet touched, and she hates to be tickled. Fair enough. She wouldn't have been the right person for me.
Considering that the members of this forum have an interest that a large percentage of the world doesn't share, my view is that if we hear of a circumstance or situation that is unsual, we should accept certain things, because, considering that our interest is in the minority, we are hardly in a position to judge others.
It's a different angle, but it makes sense.
