@exsteelagain your assumptions are actually incorrect and could be seen as pretty snarky, lol! but, since we dont know each other, i will address your comments with civility and assume that your condescending tone is a genuine attempt to portray your belief that that i have used my voice for self aggrandizement and/or to supplement a supposed lack of actual authority. i grant that your dismissive tone and less than welcoming sarcasm are your prerogative, but to me, seem to bespeak a propensity to make brash assumptions, not reasoned opinion. but, i again acknowledge that i don't know you or fully understand your motivations. i will attempt to address your curiosity. my choice to be an online-only dom arose out of my circumstances and ethical views, not any inability to effectively interact face to face. i began on my quest for meaningful online d/s relationships as an adjunct to my married life, not as some ego driven need to compensate for r/w timidity, lol, or for surreptitious forays into tawdry online affairs. i have been happily married to my beloved wife for 37 years, thanks in part to our mutual ability and commitment to communication. as a result, i expressed to my very vanilla lover, that i wished to embark on this cyber journey with her full knowledge and acceptance. i am not going to pretend she fully understands, or that she is too crazy about my online liaisons. she has expressed her views and concerns, but she ultimately respects the fact that i am a man whose word is unquestioned. i told her that i would never go outside of our marriage into the r/w. i can also state that i have never, nor would i ever go behind her back or attempt to deceive her about my activities here, or in the r/w. she knows my love for her is unquestioned and that my commitment to her is unwavering. so unlike your stated assumption, i don't HAVE to do what i do with the spoken and written word, i CHOOSE to. your further commentary regarding the nature of my work as an advocate is also flawed by false assumptions. i represented the chronically ill and disabled both in legal matters and the concomitant social and psychological issues that arise with chronic illness. among many other activities as an advocate, i successfully represented well over a 1000 claimants in their battles with social security disability and supplemental security income benefits. while you are right, i am not an attorney, BUT i was the legal representative for my clients. i filed an SSA 1696, appointment of representative, for each client and was legally responsible as their official legal representative. as legal representative, i dwas also entitled to fees for my representation identical to that of an attorny, however our program was a free program and we waived all fees. i was proud to be a part of a nationally recognized and virtually unique program for the disabled. i did not possess an illusion of authority, i had the legally recognized and sanctioned authority of our government and legal system. finally, i must just smile and shake my head at your insinuation that the purpose of my initial post was merely to entice curious women to call me. i do not seek your or others' approbation of my online activities or motivation , just a honest attempt at understanding. i hope you will read my words with the same view. please note that any capitalization was not for shouting, but for emphasis only
