I'd rather they vent here than take it out on some family member over the next couple of days.

It's supposed to be a season of Joy and Celebrating.

Leaving too little time for Christmas shopping and all of the frustrations of Christmases past are being projected unto the DU Forum? It is as good of a hypothesis as I can come up with at the moment.

I've never heard of them before, so all I'm going on is their mission statement:

The NCSF is committed to creating a political, legal and social environment in the US that advances equal rights for consenting adults who engage in alternative sexual and relationship expressions.

The NCSF aims to advance the rights of, and advocate for consenting adults in the BDSM-Leather-Fetish, Swing, and Polyamory Communities.

We pursue our vision through direct services, education, advocacy, and outreach, in conjunction with our partners, to directly benefit these communities.

That sounds like something that would appeal to the liberal-minded at DU far more than conservatives like those at FreeRepublic.

Is there a backstory I'm missing here?
