1) Masters will not, and should not get respect automatically in my opinion, merely because they haven't earned it. I'm not giving respect to anyone holding a collar and a leash, thank you. If they are a dumbass, I will quite cheerfully say so. You can ask for politeness, because you are a human. Respect, as toservez says, is a very loaded term, especially in a community with an interesting, but extremely hierarchal power dynamic. But for most people, it carries with it a dynamic of power, to respect someone. Most of us do not think of respecting the elderly if one needed help, but that we were being polite. 2) There are NO univeral rules of conduct. Ever. Don't assume that there are, and always be willing to adjust or at least realize that others act differently, or simply don't talk to anyone online. People here are from all sorts of generations, lifestyles, professions, and geographical areas. This is ignoring the fact that there probably isn't much in the way of mainstream BDSM media to really convey universal or widely accepted ways of behavior. 3) I'm not male, but yes, I will agree and say that anyone demanding control right off the bat is indeed quite scary and I would most certainly not want to meet them or be near them. If a guy did that to me, I'd either think the guy was a spambot, a fake, or mentally unstable.
