quote: ORIGINAL: TheGaggingWh0re The origin is a little shady. Some will say it originates from the Gor novels and others from a general form of respect/laziness (we can't decide) on addressing the whole. If you refer to the Capping to delineate between Dominant and submissive, OR the A/all garbage. Neither come from the Gor books. Both came originally from D\s Rooms and was adapted by some of the Gorean Role Players. It is not used by Gorean Lifestylers. Generally. What is used either for training and/or punishment generally, although some insist on it all the time and is in the Gor books, is Third Person Speech where a slave refers to herself as “this girl…”

It's called tolerance, I don't cast aspersions on your preferences, I don't expect it on Mine.

T-O-L-E-R-A-N-C-E & C-O-M-P-R-O-M-I-S-E. Two new words for the week.. I can live with that.......

Vancouver_cinful -> RE: written communication (3/4/2006 9:08:09 PM)
I will often capitalize the word dominant or refer to my dominant as He as opposed to he, and in my poetry I very much use capilization to indicate such things...all a matter of taste. Yup, Compromise and Tolerance are good things. Cin

He enters, dips His lid..............smiles. I love this topic, only because some believe so intensely either way on it. Yes I certainly agreee that it can be frustrating to read, Y/ou, T/they countless times........ but it becomes 'part of the norm' if you feel it is a clearer way of expression, and let's be honest here- typed communication is no where as clear as spoken- particularly on here where we may discuss deep issues. Yes I use it in 'third' person, but I particularly use it in reference to both my 'Precious Ones'. Saying Y/you denotes meaning in reference to both my subs but you to the specific I'm chatting with. It makes clearer and admittedly quicker conversation b/w U/us He ponders, His lip dropped....."Why are so few in O/our boat?" A laughand great time to all... Warm regards Paul. Sir to His Angel and Wild.

Master Archer and I both prefer the basic capitalization rules of the English language. ~The first word of a sentence ~Names of the days of the week, months of the year ~The pronoun I ~Names, including initials, of individuals ~Titles, which precede names ~Etc. These common rules were developed so that there is consistency and ease in communication. quote: ORIGINAL: FelinePersuasion Please do not get started in the cap slash lower thing just because it's other people's idea's of protocall lol. It's insainly hard to read and it's very annoying. And unless you have a mistress who demands it of you, it's un nessisary. You don't need Cap slash lower case to denote bdsm power exchange. quote: And I am personally against it lol. I won't talk to any one on on one who insists on doing the Y/y thing. I insist actually in my profile that any one who wishes to speak to me not do it. And not do chatspeaks like u r either. Incorrect spellings (purposely or from lack of knowledge or constant typographical error) are also hard to read and very annoying to many people.

angelic -> RE: written communication (3/4/2006 11:39:01 PM)
i have done the Yyou thing for several years. i was taught/trained to type in that fashion when typing to or about a Dominant/Master/Domme/Mistress. i do it out of respect, now. i do not, however, do the Y/you thing... gads if i have to remember to put the freakin' slash mark in i think my head would explode.

angelic -> RE: written communication (3/4/2006 11:41:39 PM)
Elegant, i agree 110%... i don't have the patience to read paragraphs of text full of spellling errors. If there is a choice here, i'd prefer to read the / marks between letters than try to decipher lazy spellling/typing.

quote: ORIGINAL: MHOO314 It's called tolerance, I don't cast aspersions on your preferences, I don't expect it on Mine. Absolutely dear. I for one whilst I do hold to capitalising Dom and not sub, don't think much of all the A/all tosh. However I don't decry those who use it amongst themselves and the only time there is any problem is where it is used in communication with me.... then If I'm finding it irritating enough I'll mention it to the person. Same with subs who do the third person routeen, I can see why it is done and will tolerate it for a short time, it is not something I will indulge them in for any great length of time. Other than that. Its a BIG world out there, what works for others great, where it doesn't directly impinge on us personaly WHY should it bother us? The Pagan/magic/new age communitys have been working this way for decades. For example, don't ask me what I personaly think of Chaos magic or satanism (My language can get colourful), however I'll defend peoples right to practice it with my life if thats what it took!

Well said!

KatyLied -> RE: written communication (3/5/2006 7:20:35 AM)
It is annoying. It would be a hard limit for me, to be expected to stutter when I type, I just can't get into it.

MHOO314 -> RE: written communication (3/5/2006 7:28:51 AM)
hmm wonders what T.S. Elliot's parents told him about no caps and iambicpantameter

KatyLied -> RE: written communication (3/5/2006 7:37:33 AM)
Yep. I'm allowed to decide who I submit to. And if someone finds me "not sub enough", I'm obviously not what he's looking for.

quote: ORIGINAL: MHOO314 hmmm you would lose an opportunity with a potential suitable, even incredible Dom because he asked you to type in a certain way? <scratches head and wonders about submission> I don't know that I would call it a hard limit for myself, just like I won't call someone who only ever wore tshirts and jeans and didn't know not to wear brown shoes with a black belt a hard limit. But it's a serious divergence in values and priorities that would have to be seriously weighed and considered amongst all the other factors. I certainly wouldn't consider it an immediate positive characteristic in terms of being a compatible person. So, not a hard limit, but makes the chances of us actually starting a relationship really really unlikely.

artglfr -> RE: written communication (3/5/2006 9:11:38 AM)
I would tend to think this would best be done within individual Dominants and submissives personal dynamics. It does get tiresome reading Y/y and A/a etc. but if it makes someone happy I am all for it. If it enables one to fulfill their Dominance or submission I am all for it. I do not want My subbies doing it and this is the only place My opinion actually matters.

KatyLied -> RE: written communication (3/5/2006 9:16:54 AM)
LA - I have some weird limits, no doubt. I can't get into a lot of the protocol and Gorean stuff. So what would work for a lot of people doesn't for me, because I just don't need it. On the other hand I need a lot of mental connection and it's difficult (for me, anyway) to find people who can dig that deep, who can give me the structure and guidance that I crave.

xxblushesxx -> RE: written communication (3/5/2006 9:29:52 AM)
Hmm.... I do not continue to communicate with doms who insist on slashy speak. I also insist on having my name capitalized as well, if he is going to capitalize his. I consider this a matter of respect. And yes, I do expect respect from my Master. It doesn't matter to me if others consider this non-submissive. The only one I need worry about pleasing is the one I call Master. And yes, Mhoo, it's possible, I may have missed the perfect one by over-looking those who do this. On the other hand...everyone has to have some idea of what they are looking for, no?

MHOO314 -> RE: written communication (3/5/2006 9:39:53 AM)
Yes.
