OP, stereotypes generally get the people who use them into trouble. Think about the racial, political, and age related stereotypes you know and you'll soon remember that they apply to some of the people within those racial, political, and age related groups, but not all of them. These boards are for individuals, and the people who use them are all unique human beings with their own way of communicating. In general society you get a mix of what people are like- here is no different. For myself, I care about what my Dom thinks and choose to generally reply in a polite manner that I want to reflect well on both of us, but that is my choice and it goes out the window if I deem so. This is the way that my Dom and I operate. If that offends some of you I apologize but I'm not going to change what works for us in order to submit to a bunch of people I know in a limited way. OP, you are coming into a group of people and asking why they don't ALL behave in a manner that you deem as being acceptable. That's just silly. We all have our own situations and personalities and reasons for doing whatever it is that we do. Yes, there are some abrasive people here and hey, you'll find them everywhere. As others have pointed out- putting a label on yourself doesn't automatically mean conformity, think of the variety of flowers within the 'flower' group. Or fish. Or cars, or packaged macaroni and cheese dinners. Each person is not only different but also each relationship. As you've heard many D types expect their submissives to stand up and be heard.
