   If you’re working with Moxie, you should be careful. She presents a false image of herself, what you see is not what you get, so you might want to maintain some wariness of her, she seems to be kind of a “taker” who wants to profit off others with no regard in return. I am (was) Jay C.M. on Moxie’s blog. I learned there that you are not allowed to disagree nor “call” Moxie on her own bad behavior when she’s abusing others or being hypocritical. On Moxie’s article
   http://moxieblog.typepad.com/moxieblog/2007/06/titty_titty_fin.html I tried to make this post…Moxie didn’t like it, erased it, now I’m banned (no warning, no notification). I’ve never been profane, insulted anyone, and think I’ve always written reasonable things.

   Apparently Moxie is allowed to be abusive towards her post-ers and violate the principles she requires of others, but you are not allowed to “call” her on that behavior.

   Even thoughg Moxie benefits from the members of her online community (since it’s one of her attractions that people can write in & get advice from other singles), she wants the freedom to attack/abuse/insult them, belittle them, silence dissenting viewpoints, silence criticism, treat them peremptorily and unfairly, and present a sanitized version of herself. Heh, and I noticed later that same day she threatened to ban Mike for disagreeing with her. Interesting little false world she’s building for herself & profiting off of.

   Here’s the disallowed post (all in response to Moxie’s repeated attacks on the poster called Cricket…and I did try to discuss this in email with Moxie but she was just condescending and hypocritical):

   Wow, just read Moxie’s anger and attacks.

   >Oh My God. SHUT. UP.

   This seems inappropriate & unfair, and sure to keep some people from ever posting. Of course, your blog, do what you like, but this won’t lead to open discussions. Are post-ers allowed to act like this (tell each other to shut up, call each other slut, swear at each other, and accuse each other of blatant lying)?

   You accused several of us of beating a dead horse…even if we weren’t repeating arguments. Here you are beating your own dead horse, repeatedly saying the story is bullshit, accusing Cricket of an agenda, and saying she’s mentally fucked-up. Is anyone else even on that horse, is anyone else saying Cricket’s fucked-up & lying to further some agenda of hers?

   WTF?!? And if you’re tired of the discussion, why were you stirring it up?

   >She wanted people on a blog (and maybe her husband who apparently might be reading) to think she was some sought after piece of ass.

   I don’t think so. And reading her story didn’t make me think “wow, she must be hot”, it made me think “here’s someone giving their take on their sexual play approach”.

   >if she was straightforward and it was just a one time thign then… …she’d tell them that blow jobs weren’t an option.

   Is a woman responsible for whatever expectations are in a guy’s head and it’s her job to know whatever his are and make sure she volunteers info about them in advance?
