Arrogance is most often a character trait women attribute to men who thwart them.

CollarMe's been around for 23 years? I consider that unlikely.

It's sad when we become more insecure, and less independent. Life becomes something we can/cannot control. Major egos are not especially helpfull in these circumstances. M

Arrogance comes across as false bravado instead of a true, quiet confidence which is always much preferred.

Arrogance is (in my beliefs) a form of insecurity.
You won't admit to your own flaws. In stead you hide them behind a mask of overconfidence = arrogance.

that's why I always feel sorry for that kind of persons.... he/she can't help themselves

I often times, but not always, see calling someone else arrogant, as a reflection of the insecurity of the one doing the calling.

Not sure what the hell that means when I call myself, half in jest, an arrogant bitch. The way I feel when I think I am being arrogant is self assured and annoyed frustrated with others that just are not 'getting it'.

Seriously, if others want to see my self confidence as arrogance, I am totally cool with it. It was often hard won.

Am biting my tongue over the 23 years thing.
Anyway, back to your arrogance question. If the same faces have been here all this time, arrogant as always...then you have just answered your own question. It must be working for "everyone" just fine.

Welcome back. If you want to see more tact on these boards...then lead by example.

Personally, as far as arrogance goes...I have rarely seen myself that way unless someone complains. Several have this past year, in private. Not from anything I said in the boards, but in chat or in letters. In the boards I don't see myself as arrogant...I'm known for epic posts that are probably blocked by many just to spare themselves from being put to sleep.

If you can improve this site with your patience, kindness, and wit...then please do so. I will look forward to your posts.

Are you sure the "23 years" is not a typo? The World Wide Web was not available to the public until 1992.......

Actually wasn't there CompuServe and AOL way back in 1990? I feel ancient now but I recall my first online account was billed by the minute... It was not quite as easy and common as it is now, but as a teen there was online and the WWW was accessible... Modems you had to plug into the phone jack and they made dreadful noises and everything was much much slower...

I think I'd take the arrogence over bitter desperation evident in your profile. You stating you've been on the site for 23 years is one of many boastful claims going along with the profile statement that you've had 'loads' of sub and slave women- I think the unlikliness of that will stand for itself.

Arrogance in my mind is not a one sided type of quality. Empty arrogance makes me feel pity for the person using it. On the other hand, someone close to me always says it's not arrogance if you can back it up. In that case I find it a rather attractive quality.

True, there was usenet before the internet, like ham radio, Tandy TRS 80's have been available since 1980.

Fetish groups were on it early on, asstr.org has archived erotics fiction from the old BBS days, It's not inconceivable that CM started as a BBS.

Of course, the people that are usenet veterans are often insufferably smug about it and act like they invented the internet.

People don't change much, no.

Going back 20 years, I had my first computer (working weekends and in the school holidays - they were quite expensive then) and a terribly loud modem and being billed by the minute, phone costs on top of that, so I'm sure the public use goes back to that and I wasn't the first one to have one...

I just googled and got that:

"World Wide Web

CompuServe was the first online service to offer Internet connectivity, albeit limited access, as early as 1989 when it connected its proprietary e-mail service to allow incoming and outgoing messages to other Internet e-mail addresses.

In the early 1990s, CompuServe was enormously popular, with hundreds of thousands of users visiting its thousands of moderated Forums, forerunners to the endless variety of discussion sites on the Web today. (Like the Web, many Forums were managed by independent producers who then administered the Forum and recruited moderators, called "sysops".) Among these were many in which hardware and software companies offered customer support. This broadened the audience from primarily business users to the technical "geek" crowd, some of which migrated over from the Byte Magazine's Bix online service. Over time, CompuServe also attracted the general public with a wide spectrum of Forums devoted to interests such as show business, including Entertainment Drive, CompuServe's sole content investment, founded by Michael Bolanos, current events, sports, politics, and more. In 1992, CompuServe and Eliot Stein's ShowBiz Forum hosted the industry's first electronic movie press kit, for the Universal computer-themed feature film Sneakers; the film's director, Phil Alden Robinson, participated in online chats with ShowBiz Forum members to promote the picture"

Welcome back!

I'm assuming you meant 2/3 years ago rather than 23 (because between you and me, if you claimed to have been here 23 years ago people would simply assume that you're a jackass).

But you're right, people don't change all that much over a couple of years, and if you're seeing people you interacted with 2/3 years ago it's unlikely to be that different.

I hope you enjoy CM your second time around.

On another point... If you're here to have fun with smart sexy sub chicks you may want to run your eye over your profile it needs a little work.
