I don't think you will be 'flamed' for stating a fact.
 
It is a problem and it comes from people wanting to be accepted.  Everybody does it, growing as they do from speaking from wishful thinking or passing on what they hear.  So much sounds true.  Only real life can disprove it.
 
People are allowed their opinion and advice.  However, individuals listening have to take the responsibility to research, experience it for themselves and best of all, be mentored and have somebody with patience as to show all the tricks of handling the tools safely.
 
That said, it also should be considered that advice that comes honestly from someone else's life, will not always work on another situation.  The advice might be sound however, unable to be applied properly to another.  So, the "spirit of intent" of the advice should be considered.  It boils down to individuals using advice wisely.
 
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs

Owned by Scotch Master

I am sorry - and I know you will think that I am being really pedantic. But your signature should say Owned by a Scotts Master - Scotch is a whiskey.

I do apologise in advance to those who think I should do this through e-mail.
I don't think you should apologize (or express phony sentiments)  when you've put forethought into something, decided it might be embarrassing, but do it anyway... 

I looked up what you said, because I wasn't sure Scotch is only used to describe whiskey.  Here's what I found in a dictionary: 
quote:

Scotch    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (skch)
n.
  1. (used with a pl. verb) The people of Scotland.
  2. Scots English.
  3. Scotch whisky.


adj.
  1. Scottish. See Usage Note at Scottish.

quote:






Main Entry: 1Scotch
Pronunciation: 'skäch
Function: adjective
Etymology: contraction of Scottish
1 : SCOTTISH
2 : inclined to frugality

So it seems Scotch is an adjective to describe a Scottish person.         M

It's pretty good advice for online too.

Okay Sab - in response:
You've insulted my Master with your insinuation that He doesn't know what He's talking about (slaps Sab on the cheek).

There is no such thing as a Scott. A Scot, however, is actually a member of a Gaelic tribe of northern Ireland that migrated to Scotland. A Scot can be referred to as either a Scot or a Scotch. Most references to anything Scottish are referred to as Scotch.

Scotch whiskey is a whiskey distilled in Scotland from malted barley.

GRRRRRRR - it's not nice to insult Scotch Master.

You've read three books by John Norman?  Goodness!  You're more of a masochist than I am.

The man has given himself a scene name, it's Scotch Master.  It's not A Scotch Master which would imply an ethnic heritage.  Had he named himself French or Irish Master it would be the same, a name that he picked for whatever reason whether they refer to his ethnic heritage or not.  It's Scotch Master like Red Master or Musical Master, it's simply a name that he chose to call himself.  There is no correction needed for his name, he gave it to himself and it's correct just the way he did it because that's what he wanted it to be.

It does bring a smile to me.  Back in 1966, while I was attending the University of Rhode Island, I was assigned to be the room mate of Ross McLain.  He was a great bear of a man who was in line to be the McLain of McLain.  I distinctly remember him, at one time, picking up an unfortunate soul by the front of the guy's shirt front, holding him so their eyes were on a level and speaking these words slowly and carefully, "Scotch is a drink; Scot is a mon; ya got that."  Then dropping the guy and turning back to the bar.

It's a forum for all to express their views and thoughts, but should be used with care and good sense. But unless you know someone in these boards personally, and completely trust them, then you'll take the advice given as it is given, words on a page, no more no less.

Absolutely, and a very good post. I love in when folks who have been in bdsm for 6 months come on and argue about what the definitions of terms means to them, then spend 13 pages arguing they are right and the rest of the world is out dated or senile. Let's ignore the fact that said terms have been used in the same manner for the past 20 or so years.

Personally i read their profiles and their posts if i am curious as to the validity of their answers.
