In my case as a nonservant submissive it is grounds for disappointment and a reprimand if I do refer to myself in lower case terms. Because I am of equal value to him. He cannot dominate me if I am not here, he needs me in the relationship as much as I need him.

Beyond that, slashy speak is not done in verbal communication. Think about it. Are you really going to say "Honey would upper case Y/you like a cup of tea?". Obviously not. This is a convention that came about in chat rooms with people who were not dominant to anyone else in the chat room to prove that they were "twue dominates". Unless you both have laryngitis you talk to each other, not write to each other.

To Online and Other Dommes, do you think its a breach of discipline if a servant capitalises his name, do you insist on your servant writing his name in small letters and addressing You in large letters or is it a load of rubbish

I do this for one week during training to evaluate how the sub feels about it because I honestly don't care. Use of capital letters does not equal attitude so if it is of value to the sub, why bother?

However, this summer I got into Second Life and I've acquired a really cool guy as my online "servant" -- he's a total geek plus artistic so a good match for me and our household. Anyway, to him it does have a lot of meaning for him to use capitals and lower case when he types so we use it then though I'd never punish him if he didn't. I prefer talking to him on Skype anyway when we hang out.

To me, there are so many more important things in life than capital vs. lowercase letters...

I don't care if it's a load of rubbish or horse manure, I use it, I prefer My sub to use it. I don't call anyone elses protocols crap, I expect the same.

why do I use it? Because I can. That's My story and I'm sticking to it.

I guess it's another aspect of control so if the dominant wants it, then do it. It's not exactly difficult to do.

Although someone's suggestion of capitalising every 5th letter could get quite annoying!

I got into BDSM online first 12 years ago, so its been part of my online useage for a long time. I never used the S/slash stuff it peeved me no end, oh unless I was saying good morning or goodbye it would be A/all, cos some protocol nazi would jump that I was missing a section of the room out(sheesh) and Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbtht never worked as well virtually.
My pet and I communicate every day online in emails and messaging and have done for ten years so it works for us. But with most people on here I will cap anyway as is proper english(snicker, but I have sticky keys which sometimes do their own thing)
Im big on courtesy and good manners in offline tho.

That is honestly what is great about life. You can find a sub who is more then willing to please you in that manner. If Sir requested that, it would be done. Though he has not set a preferrance I do sign my emails in lower-case as a rule.

I never really understood it. This is the first online BDSM community I've been on and when I went in a chat room someone told me if I was a dom I needed to capitalize my name or people would think I was a sub. I thought it was just a convention of chat rooms but I noticed the whole capital of Dom thing while I've been her. I figured, it's a convention and just something that people do... but considering I rarely interact with someone who is my sub online, I never really think about it.

I guess that wasn't a helpful answer come to think of it... oh well, I'll post it anyway.

When I was Catholic, I used to think that eating fish on Fridays during Lent was the most important aspect of my spiritual life. Then one year I gave up being a Catholic for Lent. Problem solved. People don't always grasp the essence of things, but rather follow patterns and dogma to play along. Sometimes enlightenment comes, while other times people's actions get referenced on message boards.

Hmm, I still need a signature.

It is okay I guess, I mean whatever floats the boat.
For me personally, I think "whilst" is pretentious and those that use it have a need to appear intelligent.

That's how it should be. Do what you like, not what others like.
