I agree. But that wasn't really the question. If we are going to talik of behavior that needs (or does not need) punishment, but never define it, can we not talk of what constitutes "extra good" behavior as well? Wouldn't that, likewise, deserve some extra attention - some extra praise? - Susan

I also think it is counterproductive when one is trying to be provocative and make people think, because by pushing buttons like that you only make them think you're an asshole and then they don't listen at all.

It is one thing to try and be provocative and make people think, but by pushing buttons like that you only make them think you're an asshole and then they don't listen at all. Some will,but they are far fewer in number than the ones who pay attention. I'm not worried.

In the same way that you can't define the reasons or dynamics for punishments...how can you define things that deserve extra praise/attention? Crikey, praise ITSELF is really quite a decent thing. It doesn't matter if I've done good or EXTRA good..........Mostly I KNOW perfectly WELL if I've done good things. I don't really need my Master to pat me on the back for them. agirl

Sometimes it's not really about trying to communicate a message effectively.... It's just all about standing on the soap box and doing look at me! Getting a message out is rather secondary editted to add: Oh yeah... when you call them on it' they draw on childish dramatics.

Getting a message out is rather secondary And it's even more fun to get attention on somneone else's coat tails isn it? So you can be Mr. "Lookit me in my awe inspiring perfection"' without catching the shit?

Thank you, Shigglyboom. You called it. Yes, we did email at one time, never with any animosity or disagreement, and never with any knowledge on my part that anything that I revealed about myself personally I would have thrown at me on a public forum in order to silence me. There was no 'dumping' that took place by either party, nor was there a relationship to be dumped from. And now Caretakr would like us all to applaud his great 'honesty' in alluding to my personal issues and questioning my motives for engaging in the lifestyle, inferring that I am looking for a Master to "fix" me. I spoke up against increasingly reckless verbal abuse of women and look what happened? The venom was turned towards me in a personal attack and threat. Imagine that.

quote: ORIGINAL: Caretakr quote: ORIGINAL: shigglyboom I don't know either of you and I don't know what's been going on in other threads or real life that may have led to this exchange, but I find the above threat, Caretkr, to be rather appalling and immature. Surely someone with your self-awareness and reputation on these boards doesn't need to threaten people to try to silence them, or try to gain stature by claiming to have dumped them. Perhaps I'm reading this wrong? Or did you intend us to admire your supposed self-restraint and conclude that the other party is not worth our respect? If so, you underestimate the intelligence of the people on these boards, and vastly overrate your own. I was being straight forward with her. We had discussed quite a bit in private, that I will not divulge here. And knowing her past history, I feel that she is getting into this for the wrong reasons. And when I was honest enough to tell her so-you can see the reactions I got. I'm the asshole, for screwing with her fantasies. If you are really a caretaker, "Caretakr", I can't imagine why you think it is ok to try to stigmatize someone who confided her history to you in private (my assumption) by referencing it these boards. Or maybe that's not your intention.... but it still seems to be rather callous treatment of someone else's trust. Just my opinion. Maybe you could just take the high road and ignore rather than attack her back?

And you have no idea what a rejected and whining prospect can do behind your back. Better to get it out in the open.

LeatherBentOne -> RE: Getting over it (7/23/2006 11:22:41 AM)
Caretakr, Just a few questions, if you dont mind. It sounds like youre just looking for a confident partner with self-esteem intact. Am I understanding you correctly? One that knows she makes mistakes like everyone else and accepts her mistakes rather than allows them to work counterpart to her self-esteem and as a result is constantly "needy" for her self-worth to be validated? Geeeeesh, I'm getting exhausted just asking you these questions, much less have to deal with someone who is constantly "needy." I know there are times when we hurt our submissives, unintentionally and only realise our error because of their reaction to what we've said or done. That's one thing, but a clinging, pouting, needy sub is something else. Actually a big pain in the ass, if you ask me. As for drama outside the intensity of everyday life, I need that like I need hemorrhoids. Look, nobody's perfect but how can one expect a Dominant to fix what they didnt break? That's just not a fair burden to lay upon anyone's shoulders except those of the offender, who probably doesnt care anyway or they wouldnt have done it to begin with, or a therapist. Caretakr, if this is similar to what you had in mind when you posted, I'm with you conceptually but I would use my own verbage as not to put salt into her already deep wound. I'd love to read your reply. LeatherBentOne

i think we all want partners with their self esteem intact, but there is a universal law that sometimes prevents that....water seeks its own level

I'm really curious as to the motivations for your harpy stalking. Does it amuse you to push my buttons?
