I sure the hell didnt take it as a joke. especially, when combined with all the other attacks on his character.

Fine well just see what the concensus is tomorrow. I said My bit.

I am beginning to wonder if you and the OP are the same person... it just seems like you are taking everything on this thread personally when it doesn't read personal to me at all... and the one post you made about the "Two Dom" test... that was mocking the people that threw the party, not the OPer

So this is like roast the newbie show? That's what you want Me to believe? What a load of crap.

Right, anyone who doesn't share your view that I should be mocked could only turn out to be me. What's wrong? Still upset because you couldn't make a coherent argument earlier?

You may not be the same person, but you post like the same person...


As far as "coherent" argument... I wasn't arguing.. I offered what is called an "opinion" based upon how I live my life. You asked for opinions, and I gave mine. I did not mock you. I did not insult you. I asked you questions... some of which you never answered really.. Here is the thing.. you want to go around feeling disrespected, offended, bent out of shape and emotionally attached to an event that happened a few years ago... go right ahead, I certainly wouldn't want to stand in your way. On the other hand, who suffers from that approach? The host of your party? No. Me? No. The only person who has had discomfort through all this is YOU. You are the one that had a rotten evening. You are the one that allowed yourself to feel disrespected when your host most likely had no intention of disrespecting you. You are the one that is still thinking about this years later...

Now if my way of living is incoherent, I am okay with that. I am not the one making threads about events that happened years ago. In fact, if it were me, I would have forgotten about it completely, unless I wanted to relate an odd anecdote to a conversation... at least I might have gotten an interesting cocktail party story out of it if nothing else

Whenever I would hold on to something petty like this my mom would say to me "And what exactly is that doing for you?"

I finally got what she was saying....

Whether you get that or not is up to you, I am not emotionally involved in your life.

I went to a play party a few years ago. It was announced only after it had began that all in attendance were expected to pick a role from a hat, all of them having a submissive angle to them, such as not being able to talk without permission. I naturally left, more than a little annoyed that my evening had been waisted. I thought this was very disrespectful and a stipulation like that should have been made when the invites to the party were sent out, but is that just par for the course? Do you thiink this that kind of thing's just to be expected in this lifestyle?

quote:

You suggested another poster and I were the same person because he mocked the hosts rather than me, get off your high horse. And for someone who's not emotionally involved in my life your taking an odd amount of time to write me snippy little responces.

Someone who creates a new profile, and, on the very first day of its existence, makes a baiting Opening Post in Politics and Religion, is not a "newbie." It's the fingerprint of someone well versed in the site, who decided to start a new name because he got the old one dirty somehow

.

If that is true then attack him for that. But that is probably off topic so you cant. There is no excuse for what happened.

My response to Lorenzo was rather snippy... he was attacking people on this thread for joking with you, in a way that mocked your host and not you. And I found his response to what was on this thread to be very emotionally involved for no apparent reason... no one was ridiculing you, they were just offering opinions and you had asked for those opinions... so where is the attack in that?

I have not been snippy to you once. You asked me on a couple of occasions to clarify my response. I gave my honest clarifications. If anyone is  being mocked here, it is me. You are the one who has insulted me, the way I live my life, my philosophy on life. You have called me "incoherent"

That's okay.... I am a big girl and it doesn't bother me, in fact I rather enjoy posting on this topic because I truly believe in what I am posting about... that we chose how to feel about what happens to us. We may have an initial reaction inside to unpleasant things, but how we think about it determines how we feel about it. It truly is my key to happiness, and I post quite often on the topic of emotional responsibility...

So, I am not tied to you emotionally, I am tied to the subject though... happily and joyfully so.

Come on people. That was a vicious attack.

Edit: And no, I didn't think things were as bad as lorenzo indicated they were either, but still it's nice to know someone is willing to stick their neck out for an overwellmed novice.

I think people are to easily offended these days and this is a prime example IMO. I have done a similiar game at a private party that I hosted but it included both dominant and submissive traits. It wasn't meant as disrespectful. There was no prior warning to my guests. Those that wanted to participate did and I wasn't offended if they didn't. Everyone did and it was hilarious. I have been to parties that had themes or group games that were hosted by others, making a scene that you didn't like it is disrespectful to me. Either quitely opt out or leave don't make a federal case over it (especially YEARS later). If you were truly offended by it take it up with the host privately at a later time.

I take it you haven't been following the thread at all.

Ok. You all ripped the newbie a new asshole. You all had your red meat. Time to back off.

It's just pathetic how you people treat newbies.

I thanked you for your imput several pages back and concluded that I didn't think we'd see eye to eye on that. Yet we're still going back and forth. Is it still just offering an opinion, as you claim, when you continue pushing it long after resolution?

quote:


In one portion your saying you choose how to respond to your feelings, but the last sentance you say no one else can make you feel anything. Seems a little contradictory. Which is it? You choose how to repsond to your feelings or you choose what you feel? Or both? Either way, I don't think you and I share the same philisophical view in this area, but thank you very much for sharing your opinion on the topic.
