Hi again E(e)veryone,
I am glad that I posted this originally. I know that it was out of frustration, and was well aware of what I was going to say would raise a few eyebrows to say the least. I would just like to make a couple of comments, and then I think that I am going stop my participation in this even though I had started it. I will still watch it for that reason and I believe it is my responsibility, but I am not going to get into a pissing (there's that word again) match with anyone. I will reply however if anyone asks. [:)]
1) With this post all I was looking for was to voice my experience and express my feelings for how it is. None of this was a shock to me as I have not only been on collarme.com for more than a year, but also a couple of other sites advertising locally. I had just had enough that morning with an email from a Domme (who was contacting me initially) that said nothing more than "where in the triangle are you?". Not a hello, not a f**k off, not anything. I just ignored it of course, however in looking at the ads later on, the very first one was in a HUGE font, coloured red and was nothing more than saying all you subs are just terrible because you don't do what I want, don't say what I want ,and don't accept me for what I am. The next couple of ads were basically the same without the HUGE fonts. I didn't however just pen off a temper tantrum post for my first post that was all spelling mistakes and anger. I thought about it for a while then came back online to try and express myself.
2) I didn't take swipes personally at anyone because I don't believe in it, especially in a public situation. It is humorous, and kind of sad that a few people raised a great cry out of what I said when it was obvious that they did not even read the whole post. They seemed just to need something to shout about, and that's ok, but this whole take a swipe at someone then go "block" so that they cannot see the reply (if there is one that is) just proves what I was complaining about. With these people, if I burned a bridge to them, it was a bridge on a road that I would never take. Chance are it is booby (not the fun kind) trapped.
3) Whereas I did not think past posting my comments, I happily found some very nice people here (a few actually in NC as well) that posted their thoughts whether in agreement or not. For this I am glad and will participate in the messages boards as I now have had confirmation of good people. As for those who blocked me ... well, who cares [:)]
Lastly, there are some people who posted that actually read my post all the way through and got what I was at least trying to say and were supportive of the spirit of it at least. You people .. I thank you all, you are want forums are all about. We don;t always have to agree, but respect for each other and their opinions is what the D/s community wants from the vanilla world. It is good to see it within.
This has been fun, I think I will stick around.
