That's more like an answer.... lol
What can I say? I got suckered into giving a second real response, and here comes my third. [;)]

The thing that bugs me about the cattiness I referred to (and I know you know I wasn't referring to you individually but rather as one of a collective) is that you'd think clicking the "back" button and finding something more constructive to do would be a simpler response than collectively dumping on the OP. That's another form of frenzy in itself! In fact, if you substitute "cattiness" for "stupid people" in my signature line, it still makes a valid point about the ugliness of being subjected to "mob rule" and how it escalates by feeding off itself through mutual validation; that if "everyone" does it, it must be ok to do. Kinda like stealing a "free" grape while passing through the fruit and vegy section of a supermarket....
I know you weren't singling anyone out, of course. No worries. [:)]
With apologies to the OP if it really isn't true, I think most of the cattiness comes from those who don't believe that caricature to be anything other than a troll/wanker. My money's on the OP being a male trying to lure himself some females by pretending to be one he owns and doing a terrible job of it, personally. Of course, if it's really not and it's someone who's just really, truly clueless then I would apologize and try to help them understand just how offputting that style of communication is.
There's just something very unreal for lack of a better word for what's going on with the OP...that's what's so funny to me about this thread. There's just no way that's a female, and if it is it's one who 2 weeks from now is going to be crying to the submissive forum that her one true master slept with her sister and only wanted her for what's between her legs. It's the pattern around here for frenzying subs to do that very thing. I know you've had to have seen it by now...

By all means roll your eyes and scoff at her (to yourself) if you must, but that ole saying about "if you can't say something nice about someone etc" still rings true - so live and let live, as well...! Still generalising here, btw.
I don't buy into that. That just leads to a lot of fakery. I'm the friend people come to when they want the truth no matter the cost; that's who I've always been. I'm also the one they DON'T ask when they want someone to confirm their delusions. I'm not going to say or think something about you I won't tell you to your face. In some ways if lubegirl isn't really a wanker she needs to know how her style of posting for lack of a better word affects how others receive what she has to say. Right now she's a sitcom punchline that no one can take seriously. All of us catty subs could keep quiet and laugh in emails on the other side, but she'd never understand why she wasn't part of the group or what she was doing that was causing it. Is it a harsh lesson? Sure. Would I want someone to keep their mouths shut and let me be the unknowing punchline of a joke? Hell no.

Apologies, I don't mean to be so preachy or seem like I'm picking on you personally. I don't like mob rule, never have! But for those doubting the OP's age, I'd say she handled the pressure of it extremely maturely.
I don't like it in general, but I do believe sometimes it has it's purpose and place. What has OP learned in the last few days? I see that she's learned not to use "face down, ass up" so much if she wants to be taken seriously, which will help her get the response she expects from the forum in the future. I think she did handle it well until she offered to whore her Master out to every sub on the forum. That to me wasn't so mature...but neither is mob rule in some ways.

Be well.... [:)]
You too. It's always good to talk to a thinker, even if you disagree.
