ORIGINAL: pardonme ooooo.. did I hit a nerve there? I suppose it defines how you define nerve. You've already demonstrated an extremely narrow interpretation of a master/slave dynamic and voiced your intolerance for any variation that doesn't live up to your expectations. There are some who don't bother attempting to point out the arrogance of dictating to others the proper way way of meeting their individual needs. Others are more inclined to point out the fact that you are not required to submit your idea of a perfect relationship for the approval of a governing body and neither is anyone else. My ideal relationship may be appalling to you and that's okay. You're not required to participate in my relationships. You are perfectly free to pursue your own relationships without regard to how I function within mine. This is a concept called freedom. As has been pointed out on numerous threads, personal ethics are just that. While my sense of honor and morality may bind me to certain actions and proscribe others, they are not binding upon anyone else who has not agreed to be so bound. You are free, within the conditions set forth in the collarme TOS, to speak at length about what you find reprehensible. Many may agree with you while others will not. At the end of the day, however, little if anything will have changed. If you are adamant that your way is the only correct course of action, what makes you believe that anyone else feels less certain in their own path? Are you so convinced of your persuasiveness that you expect to single-handedly covert all those who choose differently? If so, have fun trying. Personally, I have no issue with you railing against the status quo untill your fingers bleed, if that's what you want to do. I'm content to point out the hubris implicit in your position. Beyond that, you're simply one more anonymous cyber-entity and you have no power over me or how I choose to run my household. If you're looking for an opportunity for confrontation, collarme does have some interesting debates from time to time but the mods do run a pretty strict show. You're not going to find the freedom here for knock-down-drag-out personal attacks. If you're looking more cerebral discussions, you'll find yourself marginalized to some extent if you insist on a confrontational approach in your postings. Welcome to the boards and have a good time, Timothy
