Akinta -> RE: A question to the Dom's about "trolls" (6/29/2005 1:34:26 AM)

I guess this asks the question of just what kind of email would you expect to see from a "Master" who's searching? Admittedly, these people mailing owned and collared subs is rather.. well.. dumb. But isn't this site meant for contacting other people, seemingly at random, after reading a few words printed up about themselves because you think, in some way, you'd hit it off with them? The problem comes in that there's a lot more men wanting to Dom and fewer women seeking to be Dom'ed. It seems like the sender of this email should be taken as someone who WANTS to be a Master, but has no understanding or training. Sending back your own form letter which reads, in short: You seem to have little experience as a real Master, have you tried reading XXX and YYY and checking the forums? Depending on their response to something like that, you can weed out the ones with interest from the ones with no interest and just wanting an excuse for sex or abuse. This site IS supposed to be about learning and sharing on this lifestyle. Mind you, I'm not defending the person from the original post and I think it was pointless of him to send a letter like that to someone collared, but it would have been nice to see what sort of response he would have given to a challenge of his understanding of the lifestyle. Perhaps he would have tried to play it off, but a lot of the time people like that are lost, or confused, and just taking out their angst (or repression) on people at random. Sure, you prolly don't have the time to deal with each and everyone one of these people. But you never know, you might make a friend. Personally, I'd relate this back to "Warren" in Empire Records. Once someone showed him a small bit of compassion and understanding, he folded like a deck of cards admitting he knew nothing but just wanted to be noticed by someone. I dunno.. maybe I'm the only person who feels that the rest of mankind MIGHT be worth saving and helping along every now and then. Certainly most people have had someone extend them a hand when they needed it.
