ORIGINAL: TwoHeartsBeatOne Darkfeather, Okay, some good suggestions there. Thank you for those. RE: my pre-posting research. I spent a few months doing that. Perhaps not well enough to suit you, but I did my best. Perhaps you missed the post in which I said, I encourage devil's advocates to reply? Or, the one in which I said that I had gone far enough in my own research and was stuck, so it was time to just lay it out there, right or wrong, so that other points of view could be considered? I hoped to be re-directed. And, I was. I am not trying to browbeat you or criticize you. You asked for help and I am offering some. Take what I say to heart or not, up to you. First of all, you can never do enough research. Why, because you came here with an idea. It changed a bit, but your core ideals seem to remain. That is perfectly fine, you are more than entitled to your opinions. But in a debate, one that you yourself have presented in an open forum, you have to be able to back up YOUR side. You simply cannot continue to ask for validation of your core beliefs as questions from others, because those that do not agree with you will and have been disputing it. And instead of presenting a valid contrary argument, which happens in a debate, you simply ask to rely on supporting questions. This is what gets people frustrated, because they want a reason for YOUR side of the argument. Instead, you present your questions. What they expect is your contrary argument, your facts supporting your core belief. The first mistake I made was in how I asked my OP questions. Apparently, some understood, but many did not. So, you are one of the ones who read it and thought I had "core beliefs" and an argument. I had neither. I had, fear and confusion. Thus, no argument from me. I experienced a perfect storm of my own new-ishness, along with a deceitful sick man who used my submission to him toward wicked ends, and a mentor who talked to me at great length about Daddy Doms but never once mentioned age play things. I didn't even know if there was something akin to... say our U.S. Constitution in the BDSM world. I wondered if there was some way, other than talking with local BDSM friends, if there was a central agreement of some sort. You know, I figured I need to learn more, so I asked. Replies seem to say there is nothing like that. It's a decide for yourself kind of deal. Okay. Got it.
