- Different strokes for different folks. I've been in soc.motss since
- net.motss began -- eight, nine years? -- and I rather like the atmosphere.
-
- Several soc.motss regulars are bisexuals who avoid soc.bi, because what
- you find sweet and friendly, we find ... cloying. I don't mind fluffy
- nuzzle-lick-snuggle stuff _in person_, and I see a number of soc.bi
- posters in person every week. Online, though, I find it most definitely
- Not To My Taste.
-
- I might add that the worst soc.bi generally has to deal with are the
- clueless straight boyz who Just Want to Watch. Over in soc.motss, we
- get to defend all of queerdom from the real hard-core net.phobes. Makes
- a bit of difference in our attitudes, no doubt.
