Hmm, we would seem to be on Krafft-Ebing's turf here. This is indeed a highly ritualized stimulus-response cycle: (1) Brad dumps; (2) LBO list howls in indignation. This is so familiar a pattern one must ask, why does Brad do it? He obviously enjoys the humiliation, so the answer must be along the lines of economic utility: Brad can get spanked by the list for free, but he would have to pay a dominatrix for this service.
