Rogue, take it easy for a second, and read what Casper's saying again.
His point is that if something bothered you about chat, you certainly didn't take a moment to point that out or discuss it with anyone.
I've always envisioned chats to be like, well, an airport or a subway, with the "If you see something, say something." idea firmly in use. The mere fact is that whatever has bothered you, feminization, domination, or anything at all, well, you waited on it, waited to bring it up for a very long time. You didn't address it as it was happening in chat, and you didn't bring it up here until you were so frustrated by it that you'd given up on it.
If you see something you think is wrong, speak up! That's what chat is for: To discuss things. Debate about what's happening. Besides, if you think someone was being placed in a stealth trance in chat against his or her will, the best thing to do would be to disrupt what's going on, anyways, right? If someone's trying to make someone else his or her slave, wouldn't talking be the one thing to disrupt it?
My point is this: You could have done something any of those times you saw it happen. If it happened while you were gone, but you later read logs, then you could have at least discussed it when you came back, and made the room regulars aware of the issue, as soon as possible. Instead, you held off until what seems to be months later.
