In a forum such as this, the interweb, strangers don't deserve, and should not expect Anything from me. Nor do I expect anything from them. For every complaint like this, there are just as many from submissives about jackass dominants who can't respect them enough to not email something like "on ur neez bi@tch" Or some such thing. Heck, I'm guily of complaining about those particular brands of dom/mes oh, and about subs that can't take no for an answer for that matter. But I've come to realize that strangers deserve little if nothing and should expect little to nothing from others on the internet. Now, in person? That is a whole other can 'o worms. If someone comes up to me and starts hitting on me, I give them a polite "Thank you, but I'm engaged" and remove my attention from them. If they are persistant, they have crossed a line and I will still be as nice as I can, I will smile and excuse myself from their conversation and go back to whatever it was that I was doing or whatever friend I was speaking to. But that is just me. I see no reason to be mean unless properly provoked. If they continue and come around with a bad attitude, I will put my foot down and get angry if I feel the need. I give others a common courtesy and polite exactness in my intentions. They get this because they are right there in front of me. If it's here on CM, I thank them still for compliments and explain my position and if they get rude, they get politely told off, but still told off. If they still continue and turn ugly, then I will either engage them as a troll and have a little fun getting their panties in a bunch or I get bored and block them. I don't feel the need or some sort of moral obligation to respond to every single person that contacts me on this site. Why should I? I have no obligations to them, I do not know them, and I do not owe them anything. I reserve my time for those that are my friends, and those that perhaps intrigue me or actually show some shred of dignity and respect and talk to me as a human and not a piece of meat, and those who recognize my relationship and respect it. Sometimes I just do not have the time or energy to respond to every email I get. Most of the time, those that are relatively nice in their emails will just get a simple thank you for their kind words and I will leave it at that. I don't feel obligated to strike up conversations with every stranger that approaches me. Nor do I feel that I should be expected to. I don't expect it from other people.

Honey, you obviously missed the "want to be used as a toilet fetish" thread or "where do I get instructions on setting my sub on fire" thread. LOL Thank you, DelRay for that one.
