ORIGINAL: Chrisincuffs I do speak in terms of "us" but this was on my own accord and thought maybe if I came up with a list of punishments he wouldn't choose one of his own I'm sorry for starting the thread I'd rather not be bullied Now I am posting this in the kindest way I can muster, but like others here I am sometimes a bit too blunt... I read the other thread, and I think you misconstrued directness/bluntness with pettiness/snarkiness/nastiness. These fora have their own rhythm. People post here more often than not with good intention. It is my advice to try to find the good intention instead of jumping to the conclusion that the intention is bad. On the other thread, someone pointed out to you that you may find resistance if you make statements that lump everyone together. Now something maybe true in YOUR experience that may not be true in MY experience. This does not make us wrong, it makes us different. I think there is a good deal for you to learn here, if not about yourself, then about others, but before you settle in and get comfortable please understand there are very few of us that do this "lifestyle" thing the same way.... and gasp, some of us do not consider it a lifestyle at all. I hope you do not allow a couple of bad threads to scare you off and stop your contributions to CollarChat fora... if you hang out and read and watch you will find your own favorite posters, people whom you agree with and disagree with, and if you hang out long enough you will find that you will disagree with people that you thought you agreed with. Some of those posters that you become fond of reading might be posting on this very thread about the "drama" of it... In short, you are new here, I hope you let this thread and the other go and get value from learning about how we work as a subculture of a subculture in these here parts..... Welcome to your first flamefest that did not go well for you, stick around long enough and you will have more... or you could be a masochist like me and go to the political boards just to partake in them
