ORIGINAL: AquaticSub Petal, if you think this is flaming, you need to get off the net. This is being called on what you said. Collarme is not a safe place where people get wrapped up in cotten. You were rude with your "urges" comment. Deal with it. Yeah. . .I'm going to have to go ahead and sort of. . . disagree with you there. You don't know her question was intended to be rude. You simply took it that way. And that's on you and anyone else who took some imagined offense at her words. The rational, intelligent thing to do would be to ask if her intent was to offend. To which she surely would have replied 'no.' Instead, most here attacked her for her 'perceived' insult on their honor or whatever without ever taking a moment to wonder if a stranger posting on a message board was trying to insult people she didn't know. In this case, petal saw something that stirred her curiousity and, being relatively new to the forums here, thought she would ask about it. If any took offense at her question or her suggesting a possible answer, that's on YOU, not her. As you all can plainly see I'm a Dominant....oh and look, I'm posting in a sub/slave forum. But guess what...in my case it's not only "because I can," it's almost CERTAINLY because of my "urge to be heard." Effective communication is all about the intended message vs. the message received. Apparently many of you 'received' what you thought was an attack. I don't agree, and I have posted in the sub/slave rooms at least once long before petal got the idea to post this question. I'm not insulted in the least. She had a question, she asked it, she offered a possible answer to her own question. If you don't agree with that offering, by all means, offer your own. But if you feel 'attacked' about her statement, that's on you. Not her. This thread is not about petal being called on what she said. As a matter of fact, she never "said" anything. She didn't make a statement, she asked a question. If you can point out a statement in her post, then you need to re-read it. It's filled with question marks. It's like if I were to ask a person who wrote "insult a knife in their vagina" instead of "insert a knife in their vagina". . . Are you so stupid that you don't know the difference between insult and insert? See? I didn't SAY they were stupid. How would I know? I don't know them. I can, however ask my question, to which I'm almost sure the answer would be something like "nope, just typoed." And there you go. There was no attack, only a question that was answered. And we move on. That is all petal did. She asked a question. If you can take offense from a question, perhaps it's you who should leave the net. Otherwise the truly curious among us might actually ask a question you either don't want to answer or that describes you perfectly, causing you great stress and anger. And that's just not good for healthy living.
