You guys are doing it again...
Feeding a troll? Yes, but I have an excuse. I'm stuck on something, so I'm letting it percolate. I just find people who claim everyone is equal, and yet act ubersuperior to be hilarious. Literally everyone I've ever met who was top-100 in the world at something has acted polite and humble. "I know everything"-ism is definitely the province of people who need others to seem small so they can feel big.
Um, a couple of points:
1. If making posts directly and reasonably answering the question posed in the original post of a thread in a straightforward manner is "trolling," well, this forum has an awfully weird definition of trolling.
2. Again, "everyone is equal" doesn't mean "everyone is the same." It in no way contradicts the former statement to state that one thinks people who act melodramatic about D/s are more likely to be less experienced in D/s than people who act more down-to-earth about it, which is the only thing I can see that my owner has posted that comes remotely close to acting "ubersuperior." For that matter, it wouldn't contradict the former statement to say, "I am smarter than you." I have no doubt both my owner and I are smarter than some people here (and very possibly less intelligent than others), but that doesn't mean those people aren't our equals as human beings. As a lawyer, my owner almost certainly knows more about the law than most people here; as a classical singer, I almost certainly sing better than most people here - and, conversely, as a rather out-of-shape, quite tiny female, I have no doubt that I can't lift as much weight as most people here. None of those things make anyone here any less my equal or his.
You can certainly disagree with my owner's evaluation of the correspondence between melodrama and inexperience, but it would seem to make more sense to actually address why you think his perception is inaccurate rather than calling names.
i certainly have no reason to doubt your lifestyle or your professions. one would pause to think that, with his level of intelligence, he would also take into consideration that not everyone is as articulate as he, considering many lawyers do have that "gift of gab" and , as my grandfather used to put it their "fast talkin ways".
