I feel compelled to add my 2 cents but don't know how to cut and paste quotes so please bear with me: Delray, you write: Why is it people do not read posts in their entirety and only key in on an item to quibble about? You, in fact, did that when you wrote your intitial answer to my question. I wrote " it takes weeks to months for me to move off CM... [to] a first meet... for me, opening up to someone, letting them in, is often a slow... process". I stated this fact, gave a reason, and went looking to see how or if a dom would deal with that part of my personality. You responded and clearly wouldn't be interested in tolerating that, which is fine. It was just one of the different answers I was expecting. But you focused on one thing- the time element- and chose not to address my concerns with trust that I was trying to articulate. To drive home your point, your words were not well-chosen. You introduced yourself as a "real dom", and wrote that you would quickly get off-line after a reasonable amount of time. A contradiction there, I'm thinking, in that- how is "quickly" (DEFINED) and "reasonable amount of time" (UNDEFINED), one and the same? You further wrote that the only chance I have of knowing if there is potential for a deeper relationship is to bring me to "our real world for a face to face". I wrote that I have met and spoke with other doms and subs. You must have missed that line. These people that I have met, are they from another world than the one you speak of? Who, exactly, is a member of "our world"? The implication here being, of course, that there is a club with "real doms" and "real expectations" and if I cannot adhere to these expexctations then I must therefore not be "real". The notion of what is real and what is true is further elaborated when you state you'll "leave the on-line relationships ... to the adolescents and the pretenders". I'm sure this line hit way below the belt for some. People are here online for a variety of reasons, be it distance, trust, pacing oneself, or simply because they are seeking an online relationship only. Perhaps they are not part of your world, but they are all part of this world. Although you concede there must be exceptions, are they, as a rule, all adolescents and pretenders engaging in cyber play with their pants down around their ankles? This implication is very offensive. It's no wonder you have pissed off some people. So I hope I have addresses each and every line of your post rather than keying on one line to quibble about. Perhaps now it is more clear to you why there was dissension. CT
