I haven't been in here in awhile, (also haven't much perused DU either), but when I saw this... I had to bring it over... then quickly saw someone beat me to it.
1. I highly doubt very much of this story is true. Ripcord was bullied his whole life (according to his own reply later) until he "stood up," I imagine this is mere fantasy. There was a "were you bullied?" thread some years back... and as I recall, it was a nothing but DUmmies whining about being picked on, and the authorities (or teachers/school admin) not doing enough to protect them. I wonder if ripcord was in that thread.
2. His "bullies only understand pain and domination.." comment, well that sounds like it is his kink. He probably pays a dominatrix to carry out this stuff, then later reverses the roles in his mind.
After Re-Reading the thread, it wasn't ripcord, it was the weird cat...thing.
I still think this is pure fantasy.
