Hater my ass. I was actually nice, considering the content. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, assuming your intentions were good and you didn't know better.
My problems with your post:
1-I have been here for ages (The Kana profile is number two). I was on CM when LA still was head of BESS and lived in Maryland, for Gods sake. During that time once a week at least, some fool posts something along these lines and after seeing the same old crap bang around forever it gets old. The arrogance in assuming that you are the first to run across something, especially something that has been rolling around the net since the beginning, is the height of presumption. Run a history check before posting-there really is little new under the sun. My bet is you could resurrect an old thread instead of starting one anew.
2-However, had the cited paper contained content of value, I would have stood by and said little. Unfortunately that was not the case here. The article itself is nearly devoid of useful content since it's basic premise is inherently false-Listen loud and clear-There is no one way to do TTTWD. Any time anyone suggests otherwise, they have revealed the depths of their idiocy. The rule, and the only one I have ever found that runs consistently throughout BDSM, is find what works for you and yours. As long as that works, the rest of the world can go to hell in a handbasket for all I care There is no such thing as one way, and hence, any one test. Your wimp may be someone else's dominant and vice versa. C'mon-the author is attempting to cite statistics from anonymous sights, for Gods sake. Once that tripe is written, how can you take anything the author says with any form of credibility?
3-WTF are you to be all riding white knight to the rescue of all those poor people who you think may need to read this. Who appointed you their guardian and why exactly should those poor, little, vacuous, helpless submissive's listen to your drivel or some nonsense that you found? It's insulting and demeaning to suggest that they may need help when no evidence exists to the contrary and five minutes background investigation on the boards will reveal scads of smart, intelligent women who are quite capable of protecting themselves and will be quick to tell you that in no uncertain terms. Since when did submissive=stupid?
4-True Dominants, my ass.
5-Do you really think anyone who bothers to read the forums isn't fully aware that Collarme is a strange place populated by mutant species of life? You can't loiter on the boards for less than a week w/o encountering all the usual scare stories, sobbing tales, and wish I had listened tales.
6-Even accepting that I am wrong on all my other propositions, people learn from encountering adversity, we grow from experiencing failure, from getting up off the ground a little older, a little wiser, perhaps a little more self aware. I'm not trying to be crass, but yeah, the net is a sketchy place. Best that a new user finds that out real fast and learns to protect themselves. One bad experience is worth a thousand warnings. When we attempt to shield them, we are actually preventing them from learning and growing and developing protective habits that will serve them in good stead. Life is hard and real-who am I to prevent someone from learning a lesson that may one day save their life?
7-I would evaluate the article logically, but RS already went to the trouble and did so far better than I ever could. Tips hat.
Maybe you're new. Maybe you're intentions are good. Maybe you're some guy trolling, setting himself up as a wannabe expert. Shrugs. None of my business either way.
My original comment wasn't personal, so I hope you don't take it that way, nor is this meant to be construed as anything but a rebuttal. Hater...sure...but I'm an equal opportunity hater. I abhor idiocy and paternalism equally, regardless of race, class, age, creed. Worse,what really terrifies me isn't idiocy, but the blind assumption that people, read the teeming illiterate masses, are so blinded by stupidity that they need others to do their thinking and moral decreeing for them. The folks who think like that scare piss outta me.
Since it's obviously a handing out advice sort of day, here's some: When you post anything regarding true domination on a forum board here, prepare to get roasted. There are few better forum lighting rods than the infamous "One Twue Dom."
This rant is now concluded. You may now return to your regularly scheduled insanity....
