I have to admit to deriving a certain sadistic pleasure from this... quote:
ORIGINAL: Stroke I stand behind my words. I believe in what I believe in. Ok, here are some quotes of yours from your website. Perhaps most damning of all is the following: "The term “Old Gor” implies that it is different from Gor. In truth it is usually used to refer to hard headed Goreans who think that adhering to the books is a good thing. I am of that school of thought. But to me “Old Gor” is simply Gor, which is the Gor that exists in the books." Clearly, you admit to deriving your protocol from the Gorean books. And I have no issue with your life choice. What I do have an issue with is berating others for doing the same thing you have done... incorporate protocols that appeal to you wherever they may be found. But there are numerous other examples as well: http://www.geocities.com/mycroft1.geo/gorinfo.html On this page you lay out, in great detail, the various protocols you have adopted from those books. Not protocols you developed yourself... protocols you read about, enjoyed, and decided to use as well. "If you are training as a Gorean then it is imperative that you have read the books." And why is that, if you are not deriving your protocol from them? "This is where John Normans “Natural Order” comes from. Due to history and our own basic instincts, the male is naturally equipped to be dominant in a relationship while the female is naturally inclined towards submission. Now let’s be clear about this. I am NOT talking about ants or bee’s where a queen rules the hill or the hive. We are not black widows or praying mantis where after mating the female kills and eats the male. We are talking about homo sapiens. In the world of humans, men are dominant, and they should be." Here you admit to deriving your protocol of natural order from John Norman. "You have not yet begun to learn what it can be, to be a slave," I said. She looked at me, frightened. I then snapped the collar about her throat. "Do you know, ultimately," I asked, "who will prove to be your one best trainer?" "No, Master," she said. "You, yourself," I said, "the girl, herself, eager to please, imaginative and intelligent, monitoring her own performances and feelings, striving lovingly to improve and refine them. You yourself will be largely responsible for making yourself the superb slave you will become." ~ Savages of Gor, Pg 210 Here you cite the passages from a book from which you derived your protocol on training. "The first Gor book I read was Captive of Gor back in 1995. One of the first things I noticed about Gor which I enjoyed very much was how a slave addresses the free. All free are addressed as master or mistress. It matters not if the person being addressed is the girls actual owner. It is a mark of respect which the enslaved girl must display. She does not have the right to decide who she will and will not address in this manner. She is not allowed to display pride by slighting a free person and any attempt to do so will be met with swift and sure discipline. Slave girls, on Gor, address all free men as master, though, of course, only one such would be her true master. ~ Nomads of Gor - Page 60 Any slave girl, incidentally, addresses any free man as Master, any free woman as Mistress, though only one, of course, at a given time, is likely to be her true Master or Mistress. ~ Slave Girl of Gor - Page 77 Slave girls must address all free men as "Master." Commonly, however, the expression "my Master," when it is used, is reserved for the actual master of the girl, he who is her literal master, he who literally owns her. ~ Dancer of Gor - Page 421 A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so. I had even learned to kneel when addressed by the guards and, of course, always, when approached by Targo, my master. A Gorean slave, incidentally, always addresses free men as "Master," and all free women as "Mistress." ~ Captive of Gor - Page 73" Here you cite the various passages from which you derived your protocol on slaves addressing free men and women. "When I started in online Gor a decade ago there were certain accepted norms. I cannot say that I disagreed with any of them at that time. Up until then I had only read one Gor book (Captive of Gor), so had little to base my judgements on other than what I saw in the chat rooms. Since that time I have read all of the books (except for Witness) and had been an owner of a prominant room for a number of years. So, of course armed with knowledge and experience my idea's on many things have changed since first entering Gor." Here is your admission that your knowledge of your lifestyle is derived from someone other than yourself... books about Gor. Seriously, I could go on ad nauseum. And perhaps I will if you persist. You asked to be judged by your own words, and that's just what I think you deserve. John
