My post wasn't aimed at you. It was more to the OP.
I just hit the fast reply button and forgot to add the qualifier that I was using the fast reply button.

There are certainly occasions when I'm less than nice to people here.  I freely admit to having an extremely low tolerance for stupid and lazy people and sometimes those people get a virtual bitchslap.

She's had a bee in her bonnet over me ever since I dared question one of her bizarre statements in this thread on safewords.  God forbid anyone should ever have a different opinion than her or fail to knuckle under when she starts launching ad-hominem attacks instead of backing up her absurd beliefs.  You can clearly see in that thread, it's pretty much her SOP when she comes up against people who aren't immediately cowed by her "wit" and vitriol.  She's our modern day incarnation of Shakespearean sound and fury, nothing more.

As usual you are correct Sir. How dare me be one of the "stupid and lazy" ones to question your manly knowledge and test your testosterone laden judgements. I guess like all other little women I should just go back into the kitchen and let the men decide things for us. [:D]




stef -> RE: Collarme Advertising (6/5/2006 1:17:26 PM)

You weren't one of the stupid and lazy people I was referring to in that post, but thank you for proving my point regarding your behavior and methodology nonetheless.

So My fellow Dominants...should I pull the cork out of My ass...or should I be justified in being pissed off about seeing T&A all the time.

You should pull the cork out of your ass and thank the people who run this site and keep it free so ingrates like you have a place to bitch.

They don't really have a choice of it being free or not. They can either foot the bill or get revenue from ads. If they made it a pay site they would have like 1% of its current membership paying and the rest would leave. But then you already know that.



**waves hand in the air*** Hey MsMacComb, I have an idea........why don't you put some of that $14.95 a month you get from those that go to your PAY site, that you have a FREE tag for on these forums.....maybe that would solve it...I hit the link out of curiosity, and was amazed to see a page willing to take 15 bucks of my money every month. I see nothing wrong with you FREE tag line, any more than I see the links on the home page, that actually generate income for CM, unlike yours. 

I try not to get involved in the petty squabbles that seem to include at times those that call themselves dominant and in control of themselves, but sheesh....until you take a poll of every stinking member on these forums, or talk to them yourself, the sweeping generalization that "so many" have a problem with stef is juvenile.  Who made you the authority of the opinions of ALL or MOST of the members here...I have been here about the same period of time as you, and while I don't have quite as many posts, I would say it is safe to say by counting the ones I do have , I am no newbie to these boards. I will also say, in my memory, I have seen a few times when there has been vitriol hurled at stef, but it seems to be from those that are not happy she is speaking her mind.  **Scratches head**  Will someone remind me what the purpose of these forums are again? I thought it was being ABLE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND.  And as for defending the weak and helpless on these forums, when you post on here, you are opening your comments to other views....if you don't like that the only way I can see around it, is to keep your mouth shut.  I think the ones that comment on these forums for the most part, are aware of that, and are willing to still speak, and don't expect you  to so valiantly jump to their defense. There are some phrases that jump to mind, that are pretty well known:

1)Don't sweat the small shit
2)Get over yourself
 
Nuff said..

You seem to have me confused with someone that was complaining about the ads. That wasnt me so either learn to read or get a clue but dont falsely accuse people of things when you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. The rest of the your above message makes 0 sense so I will just disregard it.

If you don't wish to get involved in sqaubbles then why did you open your yap? Because you DO want to get involved. You have no idea what you are talking about, the reasons why people have an issue with "Ste" and the nonsense that surrounds that issue so you really should keep your unenlightend opinion to yourself before passing judgement. If you did know you would feel the same, I assure you. I dont need to take a poll as I get enough IMs and e-mail from others daily with the same issue to know the feelings of most.
I stick up for the "weak" (as you put it) as its something I choose to do, always have and always will. See here's how it works. "They" post a message or question, "Ste" slams them and I slam "Ste" as do others (not typos). As you said, free to post ones opinion. To give you some of your own advice back "if you don't like that the only way I can see around it, is to keep your mouth shut". Speaking ones mind is the point of the forums. But just being rude and caustic out of spite over personal issues isnt fair to others nor to newbies. I mean hell look at "Ste's" profile and sigs. Its all about calling people lasy, stupid, people are like slinkies, no use but fun to watch falling downstairs. Real charmer right? Then ask your self how it is that some people get away with being hostile like that and others are not allowed to, hmm ?

2)Get over yourself

Good advice, but I doubt that's ever going to happen.  She got too much invested in thinking that she's the Queen of the Universe.  Her own shit doesn't stink, she's never wrong and all of the insults and put-downs she slings are somehow for the "public good."  Let's be honest here, she's not trying to defend or protect anyone here, she's only protecting her gigantic ego.  

You can see for yourself in this thread how she's degenerating into childish insults and pathetic behavior at the drop of a hat.  She goes from zero to insult in 60 keystrokes.  Just look at some of the threads she's participated in where someone has a different opinion than her, it's the same story in mostly all of them.  Hell, she's already started in on insulting you because you dared question her.  God forbid you ever point out that she's wrong and doesn't even really understand the concepts she's trying to "debate."

I have been somewhat annoyed with the T&A ads on Collarme.  I only recently returned after being gone for almost a year.

This site has changed.  I know the site has to be maintained and funds are needed to do so.

But the last straw was when I signed on today and saw BOUND AND BANGED. I feel like I am at a partial porn site!!

The ads themselves don't bother me so much as the fact that some try to imbed tracking cookies onto my computer which I then have to regularly clean out.

There is one other thing that I found a little disturbing.  Today I was browsing some profiles that came up in the search results I see whenever I log in.  One profile was of an attractive young woman with a nice, normal looking, photo on her profile.  What really caught my attention was that the exact same photo was in the little sidebar ad to the right of the profile as one of supposedly four women amazingly from my home town (fat chance) and dying to meet me.

Now my first reaction was... the profile must be a fake.  And considering that the profile is otherwise blank, it probably is.  But then another thought occured to me.  Those ads to the right are also fake... so where do they get all those pics of all those women?  And do they have permission to use them or did they just grab them off say... real profiles and personal ads and personal web sites, etc.

Which is when the thought went through my head that this just can't end well.  And unfortunately, by hosting those ads, CM has become part of the problem in that its helping to support a business that in all likelihood is using stolen pictures for its own advertisements without the consent of the actual owners of those photos.  And not only is that a crime, its also very much against the idealogy of a community that so often places emphasis on the issue of consent.

Suppose that gal in the profile was real... just for sake of argument.  Suppose her chances of finding what she seeks have just been vastly reduce because some other site stole her pic and other web sites, trying to pay bills, hosted the ad.  Suppose that was your pic.  Think about it.




mnottertail -> RE: Collarme Advertising (6/6/2006 11:29:50 AM)

the pics are from another site, they cop your computers zip and stick your town on random pictures.  It is a pay-for kink site.

It is not unlikely that the woman belongs to both sites and sees men from her hometown when she pulls collarme up. 

I laugh, because if some of them women were in my town, I would by god know about it.

So anyway, for funsies, I went and got a free sign up.   Now I have constant women "emailing" me.  They don't know they are doing it, no doubt.  So I sent a request to be removed, it was understood and supposedly removed, but I still am being bombarded........like a nigerian scam from your hometown.

So I try and put come to collarme on the profile text.

LOL,
Ron

For your ease of reading I highlighted certain parts of your reply:


You were right about one thing in your reply...I guess on afterthought I do want to get involved.  I think this is a wonderful site, and let me tell you, in your own ignorance, do not assume you know everything there is to know about every member that posts here, including the level of their enlightenment.

Being rude and caustic to stef effects others, including me and everyone else, longtime members and newbies alike, and looks like spite over personal issues towards her from you in my opinion.  Surely all your vitriol is not borne of this thread; therefore personal issues it seems.  So.....do your enlightened words of wisdom only work for others but don't apply to you? After all they were YOUR words, not mine. 


As far as some members allowed to get away with being hostile and not others......would you call yourself anything else at this point???  so, hmmmmmmm, apparently you are right, some members are allowed to get away with being hostile, including YOU.

Now, taking my own advice, I will not add anymore to this thread, because in the case of your opinions on this, MsMacComb, I intend to stop sweating the small shit as of now.




kinkme -> RE: Collarme Advertising (6/6/2006 2:31:38 PM)

The pictures bother me.  Total scam for one.  Secondly, it's just unfair they can show their private parts and I can't ;)  Thirdly after a while, they kind of make me horney.  I did actually sign up to check it out.  I didn't pay, but I keep getting informed of mail I'm getting, more responses than I've ever gotten probably in all the sites I've had my ads on my entire decade plus years on the net.  Too bad I can't read them without paying, but I have a feeling they are mailbots.

While we're at it, can we also object to that endless pic of Miss Six or whoever she is, the Old Style Polyamorous Mistress, every single time I login? Or does she pay for the privilege?  I'm sick to death of her photo.  I wonder if Support could do anything about THAT? *chortle*


Ever stop to think maybe Miss Six could be associated with the site, and may take offense at your comments? *chortle* ( just a thought.. not sayin' it's so)
 
Next complaint.....

You could just safeword and not use the bags.  From what I hear, the right safeword can stop retroperistalsis and emesis, cure blindness and even reverse male pattern baldness!  [;)]

No chit??? What's the safeword??? Chia???
