OK seems that the definition of protocols and etiquette is being lost or left as something understood without a shared definition here I appreciate the response.. ::sighs:: yes, I agree completely with everything you've stated.. While I absolutely DETEST social situations requiring formal etiquette, I do understand their unfortunate importance. I was in the Army for 20 short years and as I elevated in position, the requirement for such things increased. Yes, the passing of the port, formal toasting, what flatware to use when, how to hold the glass etc.. As for a slave. I would and do train slaves on all aspects of these formalities, both for nilla settings and lifestyle gatherings. I wold not place my slave in a position to discredit her training due to a lack of that training. As for protocol. I'm not huge on that in informal settings. By not huge, I mean that yes a slave has a formal way of presenting herself, and I will evaluate and react accordingly to that presentation. Even though Gorean, I don't require slaves to announce themselves upon entering, unless the door is shut or its a formal gathering, etc.. As I've said before.. While I do understand the importance of etiquette, I shun those situations where its expected like the plague. I'm just far too simple a man for that.. I like my jeans, I like driving with the window open or the top down.. I do admire those that place much emphasis on those things.. Its just not for me. Master training, imho need be much different with the above formalities taking a LARGE back seat. Discipline, Physical Ed, Diet, control, instruction.. If I am to control these aspects of a slaves life, I'd damn sure need to be prepared for them. Anyway, enough rambling..
