I would say as long as it is all in good fun, and I started it... I am tough enough to take anything I can dish out :P

Ditto. And I am not just saying that because you complimented my post

Ok, here are my questions:

1:  In a casual environment between a Dominant or Submissive (or Master/Mistress and slave) where there are good-natured teasing and insults going; do the Dominants allow their submissives to return the favor and tease or insult them? 

2:  If the Dominants do allow their submissives to tease or insult them, where is the line drawn?

3:  How do the submissives feel about zinging their Dominants with a good-natured insult or two?  Are you up to it, or can you not see yourself do it?

4:  Basically, where does it stop being friendly teasing and start being a breach of protocol?

Please remember, this is assuming that you are in a casual environment, such as home; and not at a Lifestyle event.

FR:   Shakes His Head.  Being a Dominant of the First Order of the Black and Blue Lorded Knights, and seriously involved in this lifestyle since 1962 (I was born in 1956), and having trained in the Olde Guarde of East Anglican Trouser Baggers where I was forced to submit for my first 50 years and then allowed the Ring Of Great Dominant Power, I can only say that those of you so-called "Doms" who allow your submissives to sass, tweak, twitter or joke are besmirching the one, TRUE way of all Dominance are are a discredit to those of Us Who Know Better.

I now return to My Dungeon Home and await another submissive who wishes to learn the real meaning of WIIWD.  The last one left in 1978...

E.

Edited to clarify.  I NEVER make a mistake.

In most settings and situations yes, during formal or high protocal times, no.


2:  If the Dominants do allow their submissives to tease or insult them, where is the line drawn?

They have to know the limits of my temper and general mood at the time.

3:  How do the submissives feel about zinging their Dominants with a good-natured
  insult or two?  Are you up to it, or can you not see yourself do it?

  They both like to tease me.


4:  Basically, where does it stop being friendly teasing and start being a breach of  protocol?

When someone gets hurt, insulted or angry.

While i think it is important to have that friendship element, like the one who typed in blue said, it is important also to know where that envelope is. For myself i am aware and will not do the insult(ing) part(even if meant in a jokingly way) of this post. Teasing, bantering, jousting whatever you wish to call it is fine, and it is that way (imho) because you do have that base for friendship. You just have to be aware i think.
