I was reminded some years back that I was committed within reason to others' right to pursue their DS interests, and I remain so committed (opening myself with my history to the usual too-easy jokes. Ha-ha.)
I do get uncomfortable seeing blogs in which people bid on people, mind.
(And yes, I am more and more inclined to avoid profiles of people "owned by" others because more than once their masters have come back and given me tsuris if they decided I had done something the wrong way, and getting a specific answer as to what seemed about as likely as blood-from-stone; so no thank you, I like to _think_ I am a polite person - generally - and so, in future I increasingly or entirely will be giving those profiles a bye in my occasional visits.)
