ORIGINAL: KnightofMists i never remember names.... just faces.... so if they have pic... change it.... Damn....Does this mean...i'm just a nameless...faceless... one of the massess of the followers of the Knights drones?? *sigh* LadyP, i may be weird here, but i have certain beliefs here.... i don't really care if people change their profile or nic or whatever... Because the reality is if they don't change their beliefs...if they don't change the behaviors....if they don't change their communication...if they don't change their core values...if they don't *do* anything...They are going to continue the same off the wall obnoxious behavior that both annoys me and makes me look at their posts the way people look at horrible accidents..... i'll freely admit my first few posts were about as intelligent as that of a brain dead zombie... i think i earned my knocks fair and square.... Kali I agree with this perspective....(I'm not agreeing your first posts were those of a brain dead zombie btw). Not only is it dificult to post from the perrsonal without getting flack but it is difficult to change...I don't mean in reality it's difficult to change but it's difficult to appear to change on these forums and most forums. It is as if forums have indelible history. This has a great deal to do with the fact of course that the majority of posters here have not actually physically met each other. Physically meeting in real time very often means that people show up as different from their on line personas and their avatars. It also has to do I think with te infrequency of posting. If someone 'crossed me' in a thread say last year the likelihood is that not only have I changed my hair colour but I have changed my mind. But it's difficult for some to let go of history. To contain me, to try to understand me, to accept me or 'train' me it is often the easiest solution just to simply dismiss me. MAD, BAD or SAD are the labels usually accrued. I always live in hope that the world of bdsm has a more liberal and open-minded approach than the average mjority. But I wonder often if this is the case. Just as much bigotry, judegment and prejudice as anywhere else???
