I too am having a great deal of difficulity understanding and accepting all the
recent fervor over "Gor". I have lost a couple close AW friends to this craze,
and frankly it frightens me. Pokemon I can understand because it is the kids and
seems quite harmless, they are easily led, and want acceptance from their peers
but when adults act in the same manner I think "cult"! Last night I had a friend
send me a newspaper clipping from Kansas about a woman here on AW who was found
dead stuffed into a barrell in some warehouse. I was told from several others
online that she frequented GOR worlds and met her killer there. I don't know
this to be the truth. I'm just saying I wouldn't doubt it in the least if it
were. I did not know her or her killer but it makes you start to really worry
about how many more psychos are out there playing "master" on the many GOR
worlds that seem to be cropping up. As far as my worlds are concerned I don't
boot out GOR members but it does make me a bit uncomfortable when they play the
slave/master roles. Some of them are SO serious about it and to me it is just
silly but as I just said, sometimes deadly.

P.S. OMG, I agreed with Eep on an issue :)

Chris I am with you here .... I am not advocating removal of GOR worlds I just
orginally expressed a "shudder" that I get when I come on line and see them all. I
expressed an agreement with Eep in this regard. I think that GOR worlds are
allowable as the AW right to have a world as long as you do not overstep certain
perimeters .... GOR worlds seem to be keeping within these perimeters but they still
scare me, sorry :)
