Every announced departure is followed by the declamations of people who mistake loudness and rudeness for intelligence. The thoughtful have been avoiding these people for centuries, and the loudmouths always bray triumphantly when thoughtful people avoid them.  Somehow, they think they’ve won.

I doubt that people with more experience leave such places because they feel threatened by people new to what we do, who have a genuine interest in learning.  That’s a thought that gratifies the egos of those who remain, and no more.  They leave because they have become bored to death with people who have no interest in learning, or in anything but shouting at one another, or displaying what they think is their wisdom.  With each such cycle of departures, the level of discourse gets a little lower. You see, the people with the experience and skills haven’t really gone anywhere, in the sense of walking away from what we do.  They have just stopped trying to talk to you, and leave you in much the same ignorance and isolation as when you started.  The result is that the new people who have the most to learn, because they know very little, learn only from each other. Ignorance plus ignorance equals more ignorance.  The chatroom pests don't lose from that equation. The people who really do want and need to learn lose a lot.

Good luck MistressDread.  i'll miss reading your ideas and opinions and the wisdom you were kind enough to share.  and t o the "newbies" who are now here in her place...welcome.

warmest regards,
jimini

Status: offline 		Well its been over a year and I have returned. Ive enjoyed My travels and the minions of lifestylers and Goreans Ive met and traded words, thoughts, living and styles of Dominance with the past year. Returning and reading all the words that was posted after My departure has been enjoyable laughable at sum points. There are a few who have lost their bets and owe Me. I like Lady Godiva Chocolates. ~smiles~ Where I was raised You dont leave out the door with out saying where Your going and why. Ive never been a quite Woman hence My informing those who cared that I was leaving and the reasons as best I could figgure out during that time. For those who took anykind of offence to My opinion and words or whom dident like what I had to say or the way that I said it, to bad. As for the comment on spelling and grammer I dont think that you want to go there because if you were to tempt to speak and write MY language you would Im sure fail far worse then I might at English.
Nuff Said and hello to Collarme, The Mods, Freinds and Foe, New and Old. The Bitch is back..........

Status: offline 		Thank God your back!!! I was wondering who was going to "enlighten those with out a clue."

Dramatic exit...But then those who announce their departure seldom leave....Nonetheless it was well executed...The announcement...The stomping on your critics..It just seems that people who announce that they are leaving all share the same flaw...It's in the tiny details of the actual leaving itself....

Whatever problems that you thought were apparent back in '06, I'm sure  have corrected themselves by now. 
Good luck, good sailing and until your next dramatic departure...Welcome back!
