CaringandReal -> RE: s-types with nasty attitudes..... (8/22/2009 8:29:40 AM)

You tend to read a lot more into someone's messages than they actually said, and most of what you read in them is quite negative and also, at least from my perspective, patently false in a way that somebody capable of writing the things you write would possibly already know. Here's what the thread starter actually said: ----------------------- "I mean, as a submissive, this really bothers me. There are threads all over the place.....griping about Female Domination failing......griping about where are all the good Doms.....and tons of others. Gripe, gripe, gripe. I've followed those threads and many others all the way through over time and it seems, to me anyway, that the OPs in such threads most of the time show very negative attitudes and, for some strange reason, just can't seem to understand why Someone would not want to snatch them up in a heartbeat. They just can't seem to "get it" that just plain bad attitudes & a me me me approach to searching can have an enormously negative impact on results. I know I'm probably going to get flamed for posting this but.....oh well. Before anyone says it's easy for me because I have a Dominant, I will say that when I was single, no I did not get on the boards and whine and cry about poor me and how there aren't any decent Dominants out there. So what do the rest of ya'all have to say about this? I'm honestly not trying to cause problems or be a troll, I just had to "get this off my chest." ------------------- How the hell you went from the above to all this holy crap about her avidly and obsessively reading all these whine/bitch posts and your arrogant presumption that the only reason she could have to start this thread was to show how much better she was than everyone else frankly baffles me...although a little word called "projection" does also come to mind. ;) A lot of people on these boards fall for a faux "straight-talkin' " bluntitude and assume that if it's this direct and it also reveals Ugly Secret Unobvious (well, to them) But Logical Sounding Motivations then by golly-gee, it's got to be The Real Deal. A lot of people are also too lazy to crtically and carefully analyze what they read, especially if the words happen to coddle up nice and cozy to their favorite biases or fantasies. What I personally see in a post like this, however, is a lot of very angry, self-rightous, and, most importantly, dishonest venting. I don't like dishonesty, in any form, whether it be blunt, subtle, or, in your case, subtle posing as blunt. One point you make below is accurate. Yes, she is whining about the whiners. Big cheer to you for pointing out the obvious. ([8|] I personally applaud her for this. I think it's about time someone came out and said this! She's also pointing out a rampant ugly habit among users of this website and bringing it out in the open for all to discuss rather than just silently bearing it or pretending it doesn't exist. She has a right to post whatever she wants and IMO, she's doing people a favor with this one. Just as you have the right, I supposet, to misrepresent and read ugly and uncomplimentary (not to mention mostly incorrect) secret meanings and inundendos into her post that were not there to begin with, I suppose. (shrug) Regarding calling a spade a spade: When that proverbial and most ancient Emperor was parading down the street butt ass naked, I'm sure all the people admiring his gorgeous outfit would have insisted they were calling "a spade a spade," as well. Reality is mallable, as that fable and occasionally your behavior in this forum so aptly demonstrate. In other words, sometimes a spade is only a spade for as long as people are willing to believe somoene else's line of bull that they are actually looking at a spade. quote:
ORIGINAL: barelynangel I don't know about everyone but to me you are way to concerned with online nicknames and what they are doing and you also say you follow these threads -- which tells me you enjoy the drama. Maybe then enjoy entertaining others. I mean if you want to be technical your OP is a bitching whining post on many levels. So i guess you can ask yourself -- why did you do it and maybe you may understand why others choose to do it. quote:
I've followed those threads and many others all the way through Now ask yourself are you really bitching and whining? If you say well no i am not, my post wasn't meant like that and any other excuse you can give yourself. You are for all intent and purposes whining, bitching about what others choose to post about and how they choose. Personally this -- i was so much better than THESE people makes me wonder if you want a bozo button or something or a pat on the head for your good performance. It all is based upon interpretation. Some people on this board seem to take any question that has a personal explanation as someone is whining or bitching, most of the threads have people instinctively whining at an OP rather than discussing the question posed. Many people also put a tone on many posts that the OP never intended. Some people just as IN LIFE - yeah offline -- are even tempered, passive, non argumentative, and all in all have a positive outlook, some have the exact opposite and many fall in between. All in all, you even stated you follow these threads avidly. So my question then is -- why do you? Because you like the blood fest, you enjoy the confrontational tude of the thread, you enjoy watching the fight or the insults etc? I mean here you are posting in a "nice" way but in the end its still bitching and whining about what other nicknames on a board are doing. What's the saying -- a rose by any other name... Also, you assume its a bad attitude that keep people from being owned, has it occured to you that to assume this is why they aren't owned -- based on what YOU interpret in a typed post -- is really well silly. MOST people actually LIVE outside of a discussion board. I have people tell me all the time when i am not discussing i am very different. I tell them, well when i am discussing -- i am discussing, i am not using the forums as a social place to find what i am advertising for in my profile. I don't know, to me, people exist outside an online discussion forum so i really don't chalk up their being alone due to how they post on such a forum. That is just way to much focus on a very SMALL part of someone's life. I know i have different personalities and ways i do things in all the different venues of my life, as stella said lol my mom looks at me like i am an alien when i drive (i have full blown conversations with cars around me lol), at work i am a different way, at home i am a different way, among certain friends i am again different depending on what we are doing etc. However, as i said, you are an avid follower -- so what does that say about you? If these people weren't around, i would suspect you would find the boards very boring. You may say no, but according to you, you give these types of threads lots of attention so the judgment based on what you have posted as well as your i did this this and this can cause someone to form a judgment about you that you never intended to portray --- yes? Personally, i would rather have someone post what they are feeling and be direct rather than passive-aggressiveness i see so called i am so sub people use to portray a concept of look how nice i am BS. As they say a spade is a spade no matter how you attempt to define it. angel
