There appears to be a misunderstanding as I have simply been playing devil's advocate. I intended no offense. I truly value every opinion people have.

I did read everything that Alexandra wrote and never considered anything she said intentionally racist, which is why I said 'grammatical error' and also called her a friend. I'm only too happy for anyone to disagree with anything I offer to say. It is pointless to write stories that nobody wants, and I would still hope that BDSM may like my illustrations.

Perhaps I should state that while I am personally against racism, I only mean where such material is clearly racist propaganda, i.e. it advocates intentionally offensive racism as either morally or practically justifiable. I am not against racism in context as either a part of factual reporting, historical documentary, or fiction, provided it does not seek to promote offensively racist principles.

I think it might be possible to write a story about erotic racial abuse, providing the tone of the story balances the abuser's sexual gratification against the victim's suffering, or clearly states that the abuse is/or becomes consensual. Personally though, I tried to think of that concept when reading an erotic Gestapo story about Jewish abuse, but no matter how hard I tried to be neutral, it just made me feel very sick, and I couldn't read any more. From what I did read, it looked like racist propaganda to me!

Members may know that I have a fictional story about Gestapo lesbian abuse of a French secret agent in the BDSM library. No way was my story intended to be racist against the French, and even so, the entire plot was so ridiculous that I don't see how it could be taken seriously. Disrespectful of French bravery, possibly, but definitely not intended. I did get a couple of unhappy comments from French readers, but none from other nations. It would be interesting to know French people's reactions if one proposed publishing an erotic story about the (documented) French Government's brutal torture and sexual abuse of Algerian women. And OK, let's be fair, how about the British abusing Colonial settlers, or simply taking your male or female partner over your knee and smacking them with a hairbrush, it's all a matter of personal taste and tolerance.

As for mentioning the Gestapo, the general understanding is that such Nazi organizations do not, and never did, represent the majority of the German people. It comes back to what exactly should be censored? I believe that if something is illegal then it should be banned outright, but if it isn't illegal, and clearly fiction, then if people don't like it they shouldn't be reading it. I don't read it, so why should you?

I only write stories about lesbians abusing other women, and I have no doubt that every gay or bi-sexual woman out there is laughing her socks off at my silly clumsy ideas about gay sex and attitudes. But be fair ladies, you don't always agree with each other either! It's all only my fantasy!

I hope this doesn't upset anyone.
