I really don't know why you are dragging this out again. I'm pretty certain EMG and most of us would rather let the whole issue rest.
Well there's a problem with just letting the whole issue rest. If there is a problem (not specifically referring to anybody specific here), letting things rest only allow the problem to continue and possibly get worse.
Starting a post to "name [so and so]'s abuses" can serve as a form of PSA to avoid the Tist in question and document any experiences people may have had, but also can be abused it self. In the end it's not very effectual.
If you have a problem with some one on the Forum, I would suggest logging (copy-pasta works well) the incident(s) and perhaps simply making a post requesting info on the tist in question (e.i. "I'm thinking of responding to [tist]'s posting for a subject. Does anybody have an opinion on him/her"). You are less likely to inadvertently start a bashing thread and get honest critique.
On the subject of Outkast him-self I'll simply say that I've noticed that he responds to nearly all posts seeking subjects, posts multiple threads looking for subjects himself, and has very recently posted an ad seeking a perma-pet, then posted another thread seeking to give the pet away. This alone would be enough to qualify as abusive, if not for his obvious young age and inexperience. (One should not go around making a bunch of pets/slaves if your not going to be responsible for them...take responsibility for the consequences of your actions.)
I would label him irresponsible and caution those dealing with him to do so with caution, merely due to the fact that I suspect Outkast enjoys the ideal of making a pet/slave more than he does actually owning said pet/slave.
I would assume that he enjoys fapping to the idea but is not ready for the responsibility of his (hypnotic) actions. Lately he has added the addendum to his perma-pet thread that subjects must have a master/owner to take over their control after he turns them. His addendum seems to promote this theory.
Personality wise he comes off to me as rather quick to take offense to criticism, which would suggest that said criticisms hit a little close to their mark. On another Forum he touted a file for making people walk on the balls of their feet for extended periods of time (permanently I believe) and when I pointed out the medical complications that could arise from this I was instantly attacked.
Take it as you will. I don't think he is consciously abusive, I just feel that he is a bit new to all this and is still maturing, both as a tist and as a young adult. I would not recommend entering into any kind of "permanent" situation with him (e.i. a perma-pet or any other lasting effect) until he grows up a bit.
