I think you jump to a lot of unfounded conclusions about your fellow posters, ShaktiSama, but you are, of course, welcome to share your opinion, as are we all.

Really?  Because it seems to me that you were the one who had to make a point of insulting people personally in this thread, based on some stereotype you hold about what they must be like and what their partners must be like.  In fact, you were so determined to insult people personally that you had to sally forth three different times to be a cow.

There's a difference between stating an opinion and taking out your issues on other people.  Not everyone who likes something that you don't is your inferior.

I always thought the term "I want to worship you" was an euphemism for "I want to lick body your parts that are called private for a reason and call it worship to make it sound more BDSM"

I'm sorry to say, ShaktiSama, but you're completely out of line.  I didn't particularly appreciate the way the OP responded to me, and wanted to make that clear.

From my point of view, the person who's out of line here was you.  There was nothing wrong with the way the OP responded to you, other than the fact that she failed to live up to your stereotype of the bombastic self-important idiot who cares entirely too much what you think.  On the contrary, she probably made it a little too clear that she didn't give a damn how absurd you thought her kink was, that your "approval" was absolutely unneeded and that your opinion--no matter how rudely and condescendingly it was stated--was just that, an opinion, which you were entitled to.

The fact that she took neither herself NOR you too seriously obviously got your panties in a twist.  You wanted to troll and she wasn't a satisfying target.  So you decided you had been a little too subtle in your nastiness--you needed to make it REAL REAL clear you were insulting her personally because clearly her preferred play makes her not-as-smart as you.

Mission accomplished.  We all really really know what you think now.  Happy?

*shrug*  The person who started the flames here was you.  You were being a needlessly catty bitch.  And if you're going to be a needlessly catty bitch every time that Peon responds to another poster, things will get real tiresome around here real fast--he's quite the chatty boy.

I'm also with the OP in having a slight cult fetish...whenever I read about cult brainwashing, it seems like some nasty / immoral / unconsensual but potentially hot D/s stuff is going on. Of course, in reality it's probably mostly just working 20 hours a day making $$ for the cult leader and being too sleep-deprived to complain about it.

Open and shut case. Thank you, Shakti.

Not really, Ms DM.  If it were all about snapping at anyone I talk to, then Venatrix would have done the same with Lady H and Ms Starlett.  In fact, what happens is that they all get more friendly with each other, if anything, in the process of joining up in order to make me squirm.  Which they do quite successfully, I may say.

To me, the general subject of what you're talking about is quite exciting - as you know.  Yet, at the same time, it can tend turn into unreality.  Erasing the original boy and reshaping him into what you desire through HIS love and adoration is just...mentally delicious. - were it to be possible, which I find hard to believe, would be outright dangerous, in my opinion.

Brainwashing is an interesting idea, but I would rather have the devotion of someone who offered it sincerely, and of his own volition.

Wow, I feel really sorry you two have had such bad experiences, Venatrix and Lady Hibiscus. That's not how it is for Mistress and I at all.

Now, I won't go into an extended dissertation on psychology or the importance of the sacred in life or humanity's seemingly biological need for spiritualism or religion of some kind. Suffice to say, there is a difference between the sort of deeply personal experience that Shakti is describing and the weekend warrior objectification that you're putting forth. I don't think she's actually a near omnipotent being, she's very much human, but something special does happen between us during those times.

And as for not being able to crack jokes about deities, sexual or otherwise...Yeeeah, if that was true, I'd have a lot of grief from multiple pantheons, let alone Mistress. Fortunately only she's real enough to exact divine vengeance, and she seems to get a kick out of my funnies. ;)

Well, live dangerously, then.

and never forget that just because one may assume much and imagine little doesn't mean that is reality for all.

It was specifically the word "erasing" that rang alarm bells, Ms DM.  Erasing someone's mind doesn't sound too healthy to me.  Still, having checked your first post again, I see that you're still toying with all this.  Presumably you're not going to go down the line of KGB techniques?  If so, you might have the FBI on your back!

I'd say they have to in all cases. Otherwise its a matter of knockin' em over the head and stuffing them in a old blue van.
