I won't apologize for the way my message was taken.  I tried that and I was flamed again so that tactic doesn't work here.

.. you seem to have a unique idea of what a Flame is.

Essentially most define a "Flame" as an isult directed at someone... or group of people.

Now.. Lets look at some facts of what was posted here.....

quote:

Is the urge to be heard that desperate that people can't control themselves from answering questions not directed toward them?

The above quote came from the OP and which in my opinion is what cause much of the issue.   and  why is that?

Well.....

The question in essense was asked as an absolute..  therefore anyone asks this will be required to answer as YES.. with states people are desperate and can't control themselves... mmmmmmm that in equates to it being a Flame!

Now.. of course it could be answer as a NO.. mmmmmmm but.. now this is where it gets interesting.. you ready for this

quote:

When she offers me a suggested response, 99% of the time, she wants me to DISagree with it. Either to prove her wrong or to start some type of meaningful dialogue.

So.. Dad comes along and defends girl.. and relates how much he knows her.. and  basically.. with 99% assurance (pretty damn certain if you ask me) states that she wanted us to prove her wrong or start some meaningful dialogue.

Well...  now.. the question is worded in such a manner that it conveys an opinion in the question.  Therefore, what she was asking us to do... remember we can be 99% certain of this... Prove Her Wrong.

So.... in otherwords... We say NO.. to her question.. We don't insult others that post on the boards.. but We are to prove her wrong.. which indicates she is saying YES..

mmmmmmmmm now I wonder.. who is flaming who?

What's really amusing to me (mainly because I predicted it before I even posted my first message here) is that it doesn't matter what petal or I say at this point. You all already have "your take" on the OP in your mind and nothing will sway you. Even if she were to post here again and grovel on her knees and apologize profusely, you would simply go "Hmmm and..YEAH.....hope you learned your lesson little girl!" You already have it in your head it was an attack. Nothing we say is going to matter at this point. (Oh and I love how my first post was 'dad coming to the rescue,' despite how I already mentioned I'd posted in these forums before so therefore I was saying I 'could' be in the 'target' group, were it an attack.)

Funny how I read the post objectively, knowing full well I'd posted in sub/slave boards before and I took no offense, even chuckled a bit. But you all are up in arms over 20 little words. I would think the 'bigger person' course of action would be to simply not answer. Though I do think it shows how 'big' some 'aren't' when instead of oh I don't know. . .  turning the other cheek...ignoring the question....giving an honest chance to retract any misunderstood messages, nearly everyone chose to react and attack.

Hmmm I find that quite interesting. But not at all surprising.

That you think so shows you haven't been around awhile. People screw and offend each other on these boards all the time. Deal with the fact that she screwed up, stop trying to pretend she wasn't insulting, have her apologize and then let it die. People forgive, I've seen it all the time.

I'm not having her do a damned thing. I don't think she should apologize. And in case you can't tell from my choice of screen names, I could give a rat's ass what you think. I tried to educate you, but as they say about leading a horse to water.......

Oh and Knights......blow me. If I actually cared what you thought, I'd have asked. Go have 'fun with' yourself, I'm done with YOU.

What cinched it for me was post #40.  I thought that made it pretty clear that Petal did not believe she'd been taken out of context, had ulterior negative motivations for her post and was getting a great deal of pleasure at putting people down.

post replies in the "Ask a submissive" forum?  I haven't been to the "Ask a Master" forum to be honest, but I'm going to guess that a lot of submissives answer questions there as well.  If someone wants to hear from both sides, it seems that they would post in the general forum or even cross post in both forums as I've seen mentioned if they want to truly separate the opinions.  Is the urge to be heard that desperate that people can't control themselves from answering questions not directed toward them?

It looks like you may have forgotten some things I taught you.  Get in touch with me privately and I'll spend some time on re-education. 

She really is a sweet girl folks, just a little midguided at the moment.
