I think you and most others missed my point.

I enjoy being in a forum such as this. I enjoy exchanging ideas and opinions. I have no right to even suggest how much time another should spend here. We all have our own lives and own time.

Maybe I was too subtle - usually I am accused of having the subtly of a sledgehammer - but my point was very simple.. and I will spell it out..

Have you noticed that people with wonderful offline relationships spend an enormous amout of time online criticising those that are online?

I know who you're talking about, Brosco, I believe, but I don't know how their life is set up.... it may be a matter of them posting while at work, as others have stated, thus leaving them the time to pursue a "real life" as well.

No that has never been a focus or even an observation of mine while here at CM.

I don't think anyone has to justify to you their reason or amount of time spent here or their noticing of the behaviors of others on-line time.
Holy Crap what a cheap shot and you worry about your getting bashed?
I am also pretty sure there are quite a few people who come here that are enjoying very satisfying relationships and a full exciting life. Not that I think it any of your business.

Hint; Close your account, pick a new nick and make a new profile. Then be more nice and less juvenile, maybe no one will notice.

Then I guess you aren't very objective.

And thanks for your suggestion - but no, unlike some, i stand by my words and dont need to return as another to be here :)

I think I know who he's talking about too, but, hey, what she (or he) does is none of my business.

Not talking about anyone in particular bandit - just a trend i see and thought worthy of comment - its a pity that some so quickly discard the observations of offers.

i spend a lot of time here (keep the window open usually and just refresh now and then)

the point is that people go through phases in their lives, sometimes there are periods where you have more time on your pc, then poof people vanish because yes, they do have real lives! lol

it just makes me wonder, are you feeling bad about lacking in real life activities if this is what you noticed from being on here a lot and you are lashing out at others as a result?

Yeah, I've made that same observation, but since I'm on a lot also, I thought it would be somewhat hypocritical to mention it. For me...I do have a life but I also just enjoy reading these posts. I don't go out all that often...my Dom doesn't live close to me. My kids are getting older and go out with their friends. Like sabswife, I keep this window open. Mostly, I'm playing Spider Solitaire!

Well, there are always going to be those that think they way they do things are the right way. And there are always going to be those who, while telling others that we should be tolerant, display their intolerance by stating just that. Whaddaya gonna do? Online...offline...it's all good. This isn't directed at anyone in particular...just an observation, too.

Brosco...maybe their definition of a real life existence is being with their partners once a month...who knows? Then they have the rest of the month online.

yep i see that from time to time, but well my relationship with my Dom has been online for the greater part of it thus far (only for a couple more days tho.. yeah!). i just remind myself i thought online relationship were a joke at one time until i met the Man of my dreams on the net.

now, i just smile because i know how well they can work out and what others think doesn't matter as long as W/we are happy :)

sometimes people have a lot of crappy experiences before they hit a good one, and if thats the personal experience they have to speak from, theres nothing that can be done about that.

The first thing your post made me wonder was...why are you choosing to spend your time wondering how others are spending theirs...and in a negative light at that.

I spend quite sometime online and am in a wonderful rt relationship. However, I dont think i fall into your category of being someone who spends their time on these boards dissing other people, to be quite frank, I have a positive outlook on life and dont choose to spend my time in negativity.

I have various reasons I use these boards quite often.

1. My Master is deaf, my interaction on these boards allows him to "hear" me converse with other people over subjects I'm interested in.

2. Part of my work is spent in conversing with my office online...so I am around the computer on and off all day.

3. I don't realy enjoy sitting in front of the television, Master hardly ever watches it as he cant hear it....so we play on the internet as an entertainment thingy...he can only whip me so much in one day you know.

4. I really love this forum and enjoy the topics.

P.S. bandit have you tried runescape? its an online game

wow... i got up to post #85 before it was bash the new guy - that must be somewhat of a record

Lol, actually Brosco i think you got winged by LA on the first thread you started, but then again who doesn't?

Mistress and i usually sign in after Master goes to work and stay signed in for about two hours, we both multi task however. As i am typing this laundry is running, spareribs are browning to be put into the crock pot, and i am catching up my journal for Master. Mistress is checking mail, reading forums, checking out old style Harley decals for her Sporty rebuild and designing the tray ceiling we are ready to start on for the grand entryway and library.

In the evening we generally chill out in Little NASA(you would have to see our computer room to understand, we could launch a space shuttle from here, we all have at least six foot desks, fax machine, printers, cameras etc) and check the boards for a few. During this time i am getting their bed ready (next room) getting them ready for bed, we are looking at eBay, ordering bike parts (we are in middle of several builds), going over constuction plans and need to buy lists for current and next house project, discussing day etc.

Saturday we usually play group catch up early in the am, have coffee and breakfast and make the days plans at same time.

I think while there may be a few who do nothing but sit on the computer all day but most of us have reasonably full lives, cm lets us talk, debate, advise, get advice and make friends with a larger group of our peers than would otherwise be possible.

Level, you feed slaves bagels? That is not what Master thinks of as a proper feeding for a slave. Hmmmm......maybe he is pulling a fast one on me when he feeds me, WEG............

Actually, no i never noticed it before. As i have no real life existance, i simply assume one or more of the following:

a. noone else does either
b.   if they mention a happy real life existance, that it must
      take place between 5:00 am and 6:00 am when the site
     closes down for "happy real life hour"
c.   that criticizing online relationships is what makes their
    real life relationship so happy....they just haven't realized
     it yet.
d. they are very generous people who give up their
     valuable real life happy time to show those in online
     relationships the err of their ways...call it a community
     service they are providing...free of charge i might add.
