ORIGINAL: egern Topic aside, I still cannot quite understand why people do not have a right to an opinion here? Everyone has a right to an opinion, but I think that it (this thread) causes some to get a little defensive because it's turned into page after page of 'ALL findommes are prostitutes, scammers, liars, cheats, fake, etc.' and page after page of 'Some of us are actually into the fetish, some of us aren't like what you see every other profile, etc.' After so long, it just feels like we're going around and around in circles for no reason. I guess both 'sides' feel bashed. As for me, I do what you do, talk about what things feel like for me. Maybe if all discussed as you do, things would calm dawn. quote:

You (generic you) keep saying people are hard on pros and findommes, but very few people have actually said anything against that. All have said that that is between the involved parties, all have said that whatever prostitution is it is ok, but some, including me, have had an opinion on how it affects us or whether it would be good to seperate these groups (commercial and non-commercial). This has gotten very impolite answers from pros to say the least, and at the start something that started to look like a mobbing on the person who dared to voice such an opinion. I personally don't want to be on a site where I'm separated from everyone else. I don't solicit anyone, I'm not even currently looking for someone, I just like to chat most of the time. Just because I'm a findomme doesn't mean that I shouldn't have the ability to chat with other kink-minded (non-financial) people. I'm also a lifestyle domme and separating me from all non-commercial folks means that I wouldn't get to talk to some really freakin' awesome people. I see nothing wrong at all with people who, like you, are also pro in some capacity or other, who are here as simply another debater. But I also do not see anything wrong with people who are looking for partners to suggest making pros a category you can tune out, just as subs or doms or dommes or whatever are a category you can tune out to get to who you are looking for. Yet this simple suggestion - echoed by other threads - was treated in a way akin to mobbing. And the OP - after quite many mails - started to use name calling too. quote:
To me, a new member of CM, dropping in this thread as the very first one, it seems that the pros are very firmly in control of who can say what here. A question to you, and I do mean this a serious question to learn something I simply cannot grasp: WHY is it that people who think otherwise than you do in this question need to be 'educated'? About what? The only questions debated here is what to call it, which is a matter of personal semantics and, of course, law, and the question of whether some would like a non-commercial list. Where is the education in that? I am seriously asking you. And why is it ok to bash people who would like a non-commercial list? I am asking you, because I think you might answer me, and probably not even either patronizing or 'yelling'. Thanks. quote:
I don't speak for anyone but myself, but as far as the 'education' goes, it's a lot about titles and such, at least for me. I hate being lumped in with 19 year old bratty princesses because that's just not how I act at all. I don't flip people off, tell them they're losers and make them beg for the possibility of my attention. So, if I read you correctly, you are simply saying that 'educating' people means informing them about how your job really is. That is something I can get behind. quote:
I don't think it's okay to bash anyone at all, no matter where they stand on separating pro and findommes from everyone else. That makes you a rare bird :-) But valued, in my eyes.
