If we are going with the treating babytalkers like children mode, if I were to come into a room in which my 6 year old was, and she was babytalking (which I discourage, as she is fully capable of talking like an adult, but whatever) I would ask her to take it into a different room, if I had a conversation to have with an adult friend. Children's desire to express themself is often pushed aside for adult concerns of many sorts. Not that this is something which should always happen, but it does happen often and I think that there is nothing wrong with that.

I read your introduction post and the one reply you got. Although the poster replied with the tone of a slight eyeroll, she did welcome you to the forum. I personally spent 3 times the normal length of time i would normally spend trying to decipher any other post. That is the problem for me personally. If posters do not make sense, I just stop reading. Now if you were to say something like "me is very happy" and call that baby talk i would read it but i wont attempt to read "meberrrrry yay cus i babi" ... I don't wish to stifle your self expression, however; given this is a textual medium, I would hope you could make yourself more clear.
That said ...welcome to the forums.

Completely off-topic, but I nearly peed myself with joy when I caught the Harry Potter reference. *glee* :D

I dunno,if she wants to baby talk, can I use wing dings for text?

And would I expect anyone to bother trying to figure it out?

FR~

I'm a little bit stunned. She didn't baby talk here, in fact she had enough awareness to understand how it would be received. She labeled the thread so as to give no ambiguity as to the contents. Are you kidding about imposing [our] kink on others? Do you read the threads? There are any number of topics posted daily that some or another of us will find either engaging or outrageous. Why is this one thing judged? I'm not into it, but I do find it hypocritical to suddenly draw a line that must not be crossed, as the TOS have not been violated, to my understanding.

Help me understand how suddenly so many are righteous.

We value clear communication-they get on the case of the texting crowd too.

Are you sure that is the reason for the hostility? It doesn't seem to me to be a grammar issue, after all, one wanted to "punch her in the head."

Yep, I'm that. Punch away, but don't be alarmed if I like it.

It's not sudden. It's the norm, near as I can tell - righteousness abounds.
I fit right in here.

No I can't keep it up! Despite the fact that sometimes I babytalk with Master (more as a tease than anything else and it's fun), I couldn't do it here. And I couldn't handle reading it here in general forums. This thread wasn't a "let's talk babytalk together" thread in which case I would never have looked at it and it wouldn't have been fair for others to jump in and flame it ... the thread is about someone's RIGHT to babytalk and that's what has been discussed. And it seems to Me that the concensus is that she has the right to do so ... in context-appropriate situations ... just as any of us have the right to practise our particular kink in context-appropriate situations. These adult discussion forums are probably not context-appropriate for babytalk unless it's in special threads. Simple really!

*punches subtee in the head, because it looks like fun*

I don't think anyone suggested poor cuddleable beth be banned, or mocked her for her preference in speech either, she asked how we all would react if she were to talk in baby talk, and many of us explained why we would react in a negative way.

Each of us are free to post in whatever style or language we choose, but no one is obligated to read what we post or to take us seriously. The style that I choose will affect the way that people respond to me. I’m not my real self here. I’m not trying to mislead anyone or be other than who I am, but in real life adult non-business conversation, I am a smart-ass and quite blunt, and tend to use a lot of sarcasm and quite a bit of profanity, and I can get pretty wound up about things I feel strongly about. Online, these things don’t come across well and actually detract from what I’m trying to say. The focus shifts from what I said to how I said it. If I want folks to respond to the substance of my post rather than going off on some tangent about the way I said it, I have to adjust my style to something less distracting.

I can see several reasons that people would have problems with baby talk. One is what I mentioned above – it’s a style choice that tends to overwhelm the message. For many folks, including some who might otherwise be interested in whatever it is you want to discuss, baby talk is going to be hard to follow, a lot like posts with a lot of spelling and grammar errors or those that are one long run-on sentence, and they’ll just skip to the next topic. For some it will become more about how you said it than what you said. They’ll feel a need to pick.

Some people will feel that you are trying to involve them in your scene without their consent. If you’re presenting as a child, are you expecting folks to respond to you as if you were a child? Even if that’s not your expectation, I suspect a lot of people would be uncomfortable dealing with you in child persona.
So I guess what I’m saying is that it’s up to you to decide what’s more important to you. Is it more important that folks respond to the ideas you are expressing, or that you are able to express your ideas in a way that feels best to you? I’m sure we’d all like to be able to say whatever is on our minds however seems right to us and have everyone accept that and respond to it in a positive and constructive way, but that’s not the way the world works.

Am i the only one who can not decide wether to be intrigued or creeped out that domiguy not only used the word onesies in a sentence but knew what it was? And the tickle-me-elmo reference is enough to just send me over the edge..hehe.

allo! i have a similar issue with the slash talk camel type thing. my Master prefers i use typing protocols He feels are appropriate learning tools and management for me. (i have posted about it before, the reasons aren't the the focus here)

i am very aware that using that typing format is VERY uncomfortable for some people to read. i know it detracts from my input. i know the fact that i must do it makes me weigh if what i have to say is different enough, or important enough to add to the discussion. it's not easy for me to think people see me as mindlessly serving a net-geekDom with stupid rules. But on balance, i made that trade off when i accepted His authority, so i live with it, and try to not to subject others to my decision overmuch.

If you're single, and you still have the choice, i would encourage you to please try to engage discussion at the most mature level you can, that freedom may be lost to you when you come under Someone. The wider the group that will join your discussions, the more you will learn and grow. i don't regret my choice of Master, but i had the opportunity to learn and discuss and communicate with TONS of people in the years before Master, all because i used conventioanl typing and typical english.

The newer you are to the lifestyle, the less you can afford to alienate yourself from community input and comraderie. Given all that, whatever you choose, always remember you have the right to talk babytalk, and you have the right to drop it at any time for a single topic or discussion, and you're not staked to the ground in any behavior around here. Do what feels right at the time!

Welcome to the forum!
