I almost kind of laugh when this topic comes up anymore.  Everybody familiar with Me on these boards knows I'm one of the biggest offenders on the cap thing.  I sit back and read the posts from folks who say they skip over those of us in the minority who do the protocol capping, and even worse <gasp> instruct our submissives to do it.  That proper English horse gets pretty high as some (not all) look down their noses at us protocol cappers.

Yet, darn near every time the subject comes up, I go back and look at those who say they skip over posts where Dominants cap themselves, and nine times out of ten it's someone who has said on the boards or written a private message to say they respected or admired something I wrote.  This leads Me to believe that the whole big deal about that huge capital "M" issue, isn't really that big of a deal at all.  Like undergroundsea said, it's more about the content than the capitalization. 

As to the OP, the answer is simple.  Do what your Dominant has instructed you to do.  Lacking that instruction, express yourself in the way that best fits you.  If that's proper English caps, protocol caps for the D and lowercase for you, third person speak, or any other way you want to write that conveys the message that's inside of you.  At the end of the day, that's usually more important than what other people think anyway.

From the desk of the imperfect, protocol capping Lady Pact.

I find it ridiculous that anyone is going to pop on here and tell other people not to cap pronouns, stop talking in third person speech, or any other thing that is related to who they feel they are.

Fair enough.  But who I feel I am is somebody who takes both the art and craftsmanship of writing seriously and looks down on those who use language poorly.  Am I equally free to express that on here, or is my individuality less important?

Because if anybody thinks all language is created equal, imagine the response if somebody started posting txt spk on here reguarly.

Here we go again.  (I should just put some of these things into word documents so I can bring them up when needed.)

I've got about sixteen other quotes from other times the subject has been done to death, but that one will do.

Point being, I happen to be a Dominant female who has My own writing style, regardless of the way other people are going to attempt to tell Me how to do it.  I also happen to be on a kink related site, where a lot of this goes back to personal expression.  I find it ridiculous that anyone is going to pop on here and tell other people not to cap pronouns, stop talking in third person speech, or any other thing that is related to who they feel they are.  If it bothers you that much, don't get involved with people who do these things. 

Enjoy your beer and be well.
