I feel like I need a shower to wash off the commerce:

I'm still mulling over a response that doesn't sound mad and psycho... corporate tools are corporate tools especially when they usurp gifting and welcome home. Ick. I'd boycott them if they were a company I'd ever use.

Burningman can be shared as a common interest between dating couples.
WTF?
Maybe your "anti-commerce" button is set to be too sensitive.

It's not the commerce that kills. You did pay money for your ticket, didn't you?
It's the commodification.

Here's another site for a good laff:

Perhaps, but it still feels like using Burning Man for nefarious profit purposes.

Or using single people and their need for companionship for profit?

There is that. Designing it to appeal to burners? That gets into the whole "real burner" thing. Not very self-reliant, is it?

Well, you can join now to be a "founder". Imagine, if you will, the snark that gets unleashed here, now picture it without the everpresent threat of AntiM looming overhead. Just saying it could get kind of fun

By all means, snark away. I could use a good snark.

Never mind...just deviant thoughts of sabotage, etc. I really don't feel like spelling it out. As far as AntiM goes, I've expressed my gratitude for what she does HERE. So chill.
